"I helped lynch
house. and I don’t
another.”
This was the sensational st
made to thA Supremo Court
Capitol by John R. Cooper, *
attorney, as he pleaded for a
of venue for Nick Wilburn.
Jones County murderer. Tt
has the plea under consideration.
Wilburn, together with Mrs. James
King, is charged with murdering the
woman's husband last December.
Keeling in Jones County was bo strong
against him he was rflahed to Macon
and placed in Bibb County jail for
safekeeping
Attorney Cooper, acting under the
recently enacted Felker law, asked
the trial judge for a change of venue.
This was denied. He appealed to the
supreme Court, hut that nody ques-
tinned its jurisdiction in the matter.
In addressing the court, Mr. < oop-
er declared that if a Jones County
jury recommended his client to mer
cy the citizens 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. ”1 helped
lynch one man In a court house at
Valdosta and every time 1 heard a
noise outside while the case was be
ing tried, 1 thought it was a mob
marching on the building to take my
client.”
Mr. Cooper referred to the case of
“Old Man Rawlings,” convicted and
hanged in Lowndes County, after a
long light 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 he wants the Supreme
Court to compel the trial judge to
issue the order.
Attorney General Felder, appearing
for the State, also asked the court to
make a decision and have the ques
tion settled. The court asked both
sides to submit written arguments to
be acted upon later.
After Wilburn’s arrest detectives
claimed to have secured a confession
from him, and 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,
and he insists that Wilburn will be
killed legally or otherwise If forced to
go to trial in*that county.
Beginning Tuesday afternoon, and
continuing every afternoon tills
week, between the hours of 4 and *:30
o’clock, there will be on exhibition In
the auditorium of the public school
building on McDonough Street, In De
catur, carbon photographs and en
gravings of the world's most note-1
masterpieces of art.
The collection contains copies from
every important art gallery in the
world. It was loaned to the school
officials of Decatur by A. W. Elson &
Co., of Boston.
The object of the exhibition is to
stimulate interest in art among he
people, especially the school children.
An admission fee will be charged, the
proceeds to be used to purchase pic
tures for the school walls.
Slang Is All Right,
Says Girl Evangelist
'You've Got to Get It Across, So
Use the Hot Stuff,” She
Declares.
SAN FRANCI3CO, May Miss
Amy Stockton, girl preacher and San
Jose normal student, is going to
“pass up” the use of classic English
in her addresses and use slang when
that form of speech carries with it the
“kick.”
With modifications - of Billy Sun
day’s grammatical curves and drives
she proposes, as an evangelist, to hew
out a direct method of discourse all
her own.
“You've got to get It across to your
hearers,” said Miss Stockton. “Some
of my friends have roasted me for the
slang; others say it is right stuff.
Anyway, I’m for it.”

LOS ANGELES, May 6.—'Beauti
ful clothes and jewels do not make a
marriage happy if your husband is
Joy-riding with other women.”
With wistful expression In her dark
blue ey m. Mrs. John R Drurnaeond.
Jr., who is suing the son of the multi
millionaire tobacco magnate for di
vorce on the grounds of desertion,
cruelty and infidelity, said so to-day.

happiness.
Mrs. Drummond told for the first
time the cause leading to the break
up in what was known as an “ideal
marriage.’
”1 loved my husband,” said Mrs.
Drummond, “but I never knew where
he was. Evenings he would go away
and never say when he would return
or where he was going. He led a
high, fbm life, leaving me alone with
our little daughter.
“I knew Mr. Drummond was di
vorced from hi* first wife and that
she was a beautiful and charming
woman. The grounds of her divorce
were practically the same as mine
He treated her cruelly as he did me,
but I foolishly hoped I could reform
him.
“Married life has taken away my
youth and beauty. 1 was famed in
Chicago as a beautiful girl, now wor
ry has made me a wreck. I met John
R. Drummond, Jr., In Los Angeles,
live years ago, when I was visiting
here. 1 was carried away by his
dashing manner, for he was an ar
dent lover. I returned to Chicago in
about a month and he followed me
there, where we were married.
“We had a beautiful wedding and
I hoped for a happy married life. Mr.
Drummond did not care to stay at
home evenings or seem to enjoy my
company after a few weeks. Our lit
tle daughter, Virginia Harrison
Drummond, who is nearly four years
old, Is our only tie.
“I am told that Mr. Drummond is
now camping at Lakeside, near San
Diego, a summer resort where he
lives in the company of oth«ir wom
en.”

Manufacturers Ask
Whitehall Regrading
T
THEATER TICKETS
Great Mass of Coupons Causes
Delay—Many More To Be
Mailed Out.
Ofllc« 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-
addressed, 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 while
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
stamped 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.

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
Dresden--=The City of the Sistine
Madonna and ExquisiteChina.
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 china
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 interestingmeaning.
