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. *' Court of Appeals Reverses Judge Brand in the Griffin and McCrary Cases.

"I am a citizen of Atlanta apVl\a 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.
