Griffin, president, and R. H. McCrary, cashier, of the Athens Trust «nd Banking Company, who ware each sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on pleading guilty to Hccepting deposits when they knew their hank to be ■ insolvent, to-day were grstited the privilege of a new trial and the withdrawing of their pleas of guilty, by a decision of the State Court of Appeals, which re versed the trial judge, Charles H. Brand, of Athens, The ruling was made on the ground that-a-new trial should have be - , jranted and that Judge Brand erred n not permitting the accused to withdraw their pleas of guilty, which had been made upon the assurance ttf the State’s attorneys that a pun ishment for a misdemeanor, instead if for a felony, would be imposed by the court. The court noted that the agreement among the attorneys as to the defend ant's immunity to felony punishment pas not binding upon Judge Brand, an3 that therefore" to-day's decision p-ould net direct that a misdemeanor punishment be imposed, but rule sim ply that the accused men are entitled, If they desire, to join issue with the Plate and go on trial on all of the in dictments. If they are, legally acquit ted. the opinion says, the punish ment to be meted out, within the stat utory limits, is absolutely within the discretion of the trial judge. A sharp rap was taken at the prac tice of.' bargain-making” in the courts nf the State, particularly in the cases uhere an attempt is made to commit -he judge himself. The language of the plea died In Pehalf of Griffin and McCrary before Judge Brand, on the strength of the agreement with the States' attorney, pss "Guilty, with the recommendation that they bo punished as for a mis demeanor." -ben, instead of a misdemeanor sen tence, the five-years prison terms were imposed, a motion was imme diately made to withdraw the pleas of guilty, but this was denied by Judge Brand. - Mrs. Flanders Goes To Trial To-morrow Court Officers Summon 248 Venire men for Jury in Swainsboro Poisoning Case.
