the first application of Vick’s Group

completely relieved of a severe attack
of croup. Flea*I what he has to say in

"On the night before Christmas
my baby woke us with a ban at

night and I could nut get a doctor.
After using everything in the
house without results I hurried out
to find a drug store.and had to g<»

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 oar near Georgia Avenue.
She gave her head a peculiar shake
and several timee passed her hand
to her hot 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 scat
apparently unconcerned as to the
young zoo she had been toting about
in her millinery. *'

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 he 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’ lew trial should have be' i
^ranted and that Judge Brand erred
In pot permitting the accused to
withdraw their pleas of guilty, which
had oeen 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,
Xnd 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
Ftate and go on trial on all of the in
dictments. If they are legally acquit
ted, the opinion says, the punish-
rqent 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-
.tirqof "bargain-making” in the courts
bf the State, particularly in the cases
where .an attempt is made to commit
the judge himself.
T.hp language of the plea filed in
behalf of Griffin and McCrary before
Judge Brand, on the strength of the
ngreement with the States’ attorney,
was "Guilty, with the recommendation
that they be punished as for a mis
demeanor."
hen, instead of a misdemeanor sen
tence. the live-years prison terms
were imposed, a motion was imme
diately made to withdraw the pleas of
guilty, but this was denied by Judge
Brand.
