J TTIE ATLANTA (iEORHIAN AND I v« vs OFFICERS GET WOMAN LOSES $8,000 GEMS, HIDDEN IN SKIRT Court of Appeals Reverses Judge Brand in the Griffin and McCrary Cases. J. W. Griffin, president, and R. H. McCrary, cashier, of the Athens Trust «nd Banking Company, who were each sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on pleading guilty to accepting deposits when they knew their bank to be insolvent, to-day were granted 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 ben granted and that Judge Brand erred ;n not permitting the accused to withdraw their pleas of guilty, which had been made upon the assurance of the State’s attorneys that a pun ishment for a misdemeanor, instead of for a felony, would be Imposed by the court. Tho court noted that the agreement among the attorneys as to the defend ant’s immunity to felony punishment was not binding upon Judge Brand, and that therefore to-day's decision would not direct that a misdemeanor punishment be imposed, but rule sim ply that the accused men are entitled, it' they desire, to join issue with the State 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 of the State, particularly In the cases where an attempt is made to commit tire judge himself. The language of the plea filed in behalf of Griffin and McCrary before Judge Brand, on the strength of the agreement with the States’ attorney, was "Guilty, with the recommendation that they be punished as for a mis demeanor.” . horn, instead of a misdemeanor sen tence, the five-years prison terms were imposed, a motion was imme diately made tp withdraw the pleas of guilty, but this was denied by Judge Brand. Mouse in Her Hat; If She’d Only Known! It was on a South Pryor Street car the other morning. A woman board ed the cur near Georgia Avenue. Hhe gave her head a peculiar shake and several timer* passed her hand to her hat as if to straighten it into Position. Suddenly several men sitting be hind her began to smile, looking towards the woman’s hat. She gave It another punch and out popped a small mouse, which scuttled away. The woman remained in her seat apparently unconcerned as to the young zoo she had been toting about in her millinery. Opposes LaFrance Purchase and Says Bids Must Be Adver tised For. ALTOONA.’ l*.\ .

Kodak D.partmti' 14 Whitehall St. ATLANTA, GA. The Waist, Gladys, Is Where You Please. Where is the waist this year? Femininity sounds the eternal query of spring fashions, a query for whose answer the About Town man made a personal investigation along Peach tree Street and adjacent thorough fares lavt evening. And the answer, it finds, is an echoed “where?" To judge the evidence gleaned from Atlanta street displays, if the latest things in sartorials. the waist, that acid test of yesteryears, has received small attention from those who this year set the styles. The waist, Gladys, is where you please. Those who affect the Bulga rian mode of questionable ethetlcism wear their waists an indeterminate distance between the hips and knees. And there are suite and suits on Peachtree Street whose waists are snugly belted somewhere in proximity to the armpit. First Lesson in Efficiency Salesmanship. A cheerful agent stepped into a bus iness* man’s office the other day and set his grip on the floor. "I have here.” he said, “a patent glass cutter for 25 cents. It is known ” "Don’t need any glass cutter!" snapped the business man. “Ah, you don’t need a glass cutter! Well, then, I have here a vacuum cleaner,that sells for forty dollars. It if now in use in thousands of homes. It is v ” “I don’t need a vacuum cleaner.” “Well, perhaps not; but then I have something else here that will cer tainly interest you. It is a phono* '‘graph that retails for the small sum of eleven dollars. There isn’t an other phonograph in the world that ” “I wouldn’t buy a phonograph on a bet," growled the business man, get ting red in the face. “Well, T am surprised! Rut then I have here a camera which sell? for $27. It will take the widest " “No camera to-day!” yelled the business man. “Well. then. I have a $400 automo bile. Which combines all the necessary poin-ts of the higher-priced machines, and " “For the love of Mike!" screamed the business man. “Here’s your quar ter. I’ll take the glass cutter. Now get out!" “Thank you." said fhe agent; “that’s all I. had to sell in tjie first place." Mayor Woodward said tp-rkiy h> wanted Council to purchase equip ment for the Tenth Ward fin* engine house, the failure to do which has. brought severe, criticism on the ad ministration. But he declared nc would not approve 'the piiiohase of the La France engine which th> Board of Fire Masters contracted'for last year This engine would have been “in stalled-, but for Mayor Woodward’s opposition. The .burning of a house has decided the Board of Fire Masters and members i of Council to seed: ■ thei .equipment at once. “Let them advertise for bids in the. regular way and I’ll approve, ih ■ purchase," said the Mayor. “The Board of IVire Masters had that engine shipped-, here-w.jthotit hnv authority and without any fundus w it i w.hidh to pay for it.” The fire has aroused Couneilmen to the determination to demand Monday that the new Tenth Ward fire station be equipped immediately. “We can not afford to delay longer on account of the Fire Department in vestigation,” said Councilman Claude C. Mason, of the Tenth Ward. "If we had had an engine i,u. the new station at Lee Street and Avon Ave nue it could have reached Mr. Han nah’s home in five minutes and prob ably saved 'it.” Alderman A. H. VanDyke said Council must equip this engine hoiiso at once. Engin© Ready in February. An engine for the station was ready for a test February 1. But just as the Board of Fire Masters was ready to recommend its purchase fo ’Council Mayor Woodward,filed charges againsl Chief Cummings and the department. The engine is still packed in a freight car on a railroad siding. “When a man goes through the grueling experience of seeing his home burn down and realizes the cause of it is directly the result of a squabble between officials of the mu nicipality, he has a kick coming,” said C. G. Hannah to a Georgian reporter as he gazed upon the ruins of his rx j s 7 idenee. Two blocks away is an unequipped fire department building, which was completed several months ago. Down in the railroad yards on a car, where it has been for two months,* is a tire engine ordered for the building. “I am a citizen of Atlanta and a taxpayer, and am entitled to fire pro tection,’ 1 said Mr. Han rah. “But it was exactly 13 minutes from tlm time I telephoned in the 1 alarm until the tirsb piece of apparatus arrived.
