Court of Appeals Reverses Judge
Brand in the Griffin and
McCrary Cases.
J. \V. 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 .km w
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 derision 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, ne.w trial should have beri
granted and that Judge Brand erred
in 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.
The 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,
if 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
the 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.”
lien, instead of a misdemeanor sen
tence, the five-years prison terms
were imposed, a motion was imme
diately made to withdraw the pleas of
auilty, 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 car near Georgia Avenue.
She gave her head a peculiar shake
and several times 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.
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 last 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 tho^e who this
year set the styles.
The waist, Gladys, is where you
please. Those who affect the Bulga
rian mode of questionable ethetlclsm
wear their waists an indeterminate
distance between the hips and knees.
And there are suits' 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!
W.ell, then, I have here a vacuum
cleaner that sells for forty dollars. It
is* now in use in thousands of homes.
It is ”
“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 tho world
that ”
“I wouldn’t buy a phonograph on a
bet,” growled the business man, get
ting red in the face.
“Well, I am surprised! But then I
have here a camera which sells for
$27. It will take the widest ”,
“No camera to-day!” yelled the
business man.
“Well, then, I have a $4OJ) automo
bile. which combines all the hecessarv
points 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 the agent;
“that’s all I had to sell in the first
place.”
Gamin Prefers Grand
Opera to Baseball.
A bunch of newsboys were congre
gated about the alley which leads
from the railroad tracks in Wall
Street to The Georgian press rootn.
They were waiting for the city edi
tion' to come off the press and were
killing time as only Atlanta news
boys know how.
“Wish I could git off dis afternoon
ter de ball game," said one chap jing
ling the coins with which he pur
posed buying his afternoon’s stock
in trade.
"Well, I don't,” ejaculated another
boy. “I'm savin’ up me money to
hear de gran' op, I is.”
And he is, too. He heard three of
the operas last season and he says
nothing can keep him away from as
many this year. He Is Infatuated
with grand opera and being some

“We can not afford to delay, longer
