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. 9V MB- >T®WR )_ Mrs. Flanders Goes To Trial To-morrow Court Officers Summon 248 Venire men for Jury in Swainsboro Poisoning Case.

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* 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.

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.
