Attorney Who Admits He Has
Been One of Lynchers Himself
Begs Change of Venue.
"I helped lynch one man in a court
house, and 1 don’t want to help lynch
another."
This was the sensational statement
made to the Supreme Court at the
Capitol by John R. Cooper, a Macon
attorney, as he pleaded for a rh'inR.
of venue for Nick Wilburn, alleged
Jones County murderer. The court
has the plea under consideration.
Wilburn, together with Mrs. James
Kmf, la charged with murdering the
woman's husband last December.
Keeling in Jones t'ounty was so strong
against him he was rushed to Macon
and placed In Bibb County Jail fot
safekeeping
Attorney Cooper, toting under the
recently enacted Felker law, asked
Hie trial Judge for a change of venue.
This was denied. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, hut that body ques
tioned Its jurisdiction in the matter.
In addressing the court. Mr. < oop-
pc declared that if a Jones ( ounty
lurv recommended Ids client to mer
cy the clttsens would take him out
and hang him in two minutes
Fears Client’s Lynching.
"I don’t want Wilburn mobbed In a
court of Justice," he said. "I helped
lynch one man In a court house at
Valdosta and every time I heard a
noise outside while the case was be
ing tried, l thought It was a mob
marching on the building to take my
client.”
Mr. Cooper referred to the case or
“Old Man Rawlings." convicted and
hanged in Lowndes County, after a
long fight was made to save him.
Felker Law Test.
Under the Felker law. Mr. Cooper
claims It is mandatory on the part of
the trial Judge to order a change of
venue when there is doubt about a
fair trial and lie wants the Supreme
Court to compel the trial Judge to
Issus the order.
Attorney General Felder, appearing
tor the State, also asked the court to
make a decision tend have the ques
tion settled. The court asked both
sides to submil written arguments to
be acted upon later
After Wilburn’s arrest detectives
. tainted to have secured a confession
from him, nnd also one from the dead
man’s wife. Wilburn now repudiates
this confession and declares he is in
nocent.
Mr. Cooper says Jones County peo
ple have made up their minds that
Wilburn Is guilty and should hang.
»nd he Insists that Wilburn will be
killed legally or otherwise if forced !o
go to trial in that county .

THEATER TICKETS
Great Mass of Coupons Causes
Delay—Many More To Be
Mailed Out.
Office employees of The Georgian
and Sunday American worked all of
Monday and late into the night mail
ing out free theater tickets to thou
sands of Georgian and American
readers who clipped and sent in the
necessary four coupons and a self-
addresMO'd, stamped envelope.
Despite this hard work, so heavy
that it interfered seriously with the
regular office routine, it was impos
sible to work through more than half
of the letters sent in.
Therefore, readers will remember,
please, that because of the great de
mand it will be impossible to furnish
tickets for any particular night. Nat
urally, capacious as the Atlanta The
ater is, it cannot care for all The
Georgian and American guests in one
night, or two. Several hundreds will
be cared for each night until all
requests have been satisfied.
And please be assured that whil*
there is some necessary delay because
of the great mass of work to be done
your ticket will come through the
mail, unless—
You are one of those who failed to
send in a complete set of coupons
or one of those who failed to send a
^tamped envelope; or one of those
who failed to give name and address.
If you are one of these, we are sor
ry. but there will be no ticket for you.

Dresden--=The City of the Sistine
Madonna and GxquisiteChina.
Some of this China is Unusually Priced in the Bazaar
Dresden claims the interest of world-tourists primarily by virtue
of Raphael’s wonderful painting, the Sistine Madonna, and then by
the china that bears its name. No one will deny that Dresden ehina
is in its way a work of art just as the Sistine Madonna is. The phrase
“as dainty as a piece of Dresden china” did not just happen.
And a splendid collection of this china is priced very remarkably
in the Bazaar right now. We doubt if Atlanta has ever had such a
display — especially at such prices. And at this time when the June
Brides’ presents are to be bought and the home is to be fixed up for
the summer such prices take on a very interesting meaning.
