Dalton Attorney's Argument Re
sults in Acquittal, Though Fite
Instructed Verdict of Guilty.
Life Sentences for
Murderers Stand
Attorneys for Clem Poole and Dan
Hatfield Decide Not to
Ask New Trial.
DALTON. Aug. 2. Superior Court
adjourned this afternoon without the
attorneys of either Clem Poole or
Dan Hatfield, both convicted of mur
der and given a life sentence, making
a motion for now trial. The prison
ers have decided to accept the life
sentence.
The verdicts caused considerable
surprise here. In the case against
Dan Ilattleld. only circumstantial evi
dence was introduced, but a verdict of
murder, without recommendation to
the court’s mercy, was returned. In
the Poole case, direct testimony was
strongly brought out. yet a verdict od
guilty, with recommendation to in**r-
cy, was returned.
A coincidence connected with the
Poole verdict was that it was brought
in at 10 o’clock at night, the exact
hour the crime was committed four
days previous.

Puckett Estate Is
Awarded to Woman
Supreme Court Rules That Informal
Adoption Gives Beneficiary an
Equity in Property.
GAINESVILLE, Aug. 2.—By decree
of Hall Superior Court the estate o?
Mr*. M. F Puckett has been awarded
to Mrfi. Daisy Puckett Wilson. The
estate is valued nt $6,000. The legatee
is the wife of O. VV. Wilson, of At
lanta. The case has been given much
publicity through the papers.
In April the Supreme Court handed
down the following decision in this
caw: "A parole obligation by a person
to adopt a child as his own by a vir
tual, though not statutory, adoption,
and acted upon by all persons con
cerned during the lifetime of the per
son adopting the child, may be en
forced in equity upon the death of the
obflgator by decreeing the child as
heir to the property of the obligator
undisposed of by will.” This settled
the law and the jury this week set
tled the facts in this case.
M0T0RMAN WAS NEGLIGENT,
ASSERTS DAMAGE CLAIMANT
ROME. Aug. 2.—“The motorman was
playing with some boys with an iron
rod while he was crossing the Silver
Creek bridge and almost collided with
a train.” declared W. H Mitchell in a
suit which he has brought against the
Rome Railway and Light Company
for $1,000 damages. So dangerously
cloao did the car come to the train,
j Mitchell alleges, that he and a num-
, her of passengers Jumped off, fearing
for their lives. Mitchell claims he
was so badly injured that he was un
able to work for some time.
DALTON, Aug. 2.—Attorney M. H
Stone, although having practiced law
for less than a year, pulled a trick In
Superior Court which brought on the
envy of his fellow attorneys when, n
the face of Judge Fite's warning tnat
he was going to charge the Jury to
return a verdict of guilty, he argued
his case heard Judge Fite charge as
he had said, and then heard the jury
return a verdict of “not guilty.”
Tiie case was that against Bird Mil
ler, indicted on two counts for se ling
whisky and furnishing whisky to a
minor. The evidence failed to show
the sale of the whisky; but it v as
overwhelmingly' strong tan - he had
furnished whisky to a youth
So clear cut was the case that Judge
Fite told Attorney Stone be could
argue the case if he wanted to, but
he intended to instruct tne Jury to
find a verdict of guilty In the second
count.
At that point any oth^r local attor
ney would have quit, but Mr. Stone
proceeded with his argument. Judge
Fite’s charge wav brief and to the
point. He said:
“Gentlemen, in the count of furnish
ing whisky to a minor, if you brlieve
the contentions of the State, ne de
fendant is guilty; if you believe the
contentions of the defense, he is guilty ;
in either event the defendant is
guilty. So retire and make your ver
dict* ”
The Jury was out only a short time
and returned with the verdict:
"We, th* Jury, find the defendant
not guilty.”
It was a victory which comes to few
lawyers, and Mr. Stone is being
warmly congratulated.
Shocked by Lightning
While Taking a Bath
Flash Blinds Savannah Man for
Time Being, but Not
Permanently.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 2.—While tak
ing a bath, Lawrence A. Snedeker
was shocked by lightning at his home

was in the tub when the squall broke
over tho city. Suddenly he w f as
blinded by a vivid flash of lightning,
experiencing a sensation similar to
being struck a heavy blow' in the
eye. He was momentarily dazed.
With his eye paining him, he Jumped
from the water and dressed, and later
summoned a physician.
An examination disclosed the fact
that there is no cause for alarm. The
eye is inflamed and the patient is
suffering, but there will be no Im
pairment of the sight.

Gets 4-Year Term
Father of Last Wife Prosecutes Man
Who Had Served for Same
Offense Before.
GAINESVILLE. Aug. 2.—Having
had thr^e living wives, John Adam
wav sentenced In Hall Superior Court
to four years in the penitentiary. He

lumbus on a warrant sworn out by
the father of the last wife, T. D.
Gilleland, of New Holland. This last
wife discovered Adam’s first wife alive
and well with an 8-year-old child in
Cedartown, and this brought about
the prosecution.
Adam was married last August to
MiMs Gilleland and hi* second wife,
who was Miss Mary Cronic, of De-
Kalb County, cied the following No
vember. Thus he had three living
wives at the same time.
Adam, of course, pleaded that he
thought his last wife was his only
living wife, but the evidence showed
that he had visited bis first wife and
obtained money from her and that he
had previously served a term for big
amy.

poses to Utilize Present
Waste Material.

part of the Yaryan plant is given se

shows but two cases of “plain drunk”

efforts of the Savannah Chamber of
Commerce, Arthur J. Howard, of

Some Persons
“Flinch”
When Truth
Hunts Them
“If any man is able to convince me and show me that I
do not think or act right, I will gladly change, for I seek
the truth, by which no man was ever injured."—Marcus
Aurelius, Roman Emperor.
Some shrink and try to close their eyes and ears
to the haunting fact that the little 2 1-2 grains of
Caffeine in every average cup of coffee is the de
mon which relentlessly pursues and starts various
ailments, such as, biliousness, headache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness, bowel trouble, heart failure
and a long string of aches and ails, taking one form
in one person and another in another.
The effect of repeated doses of coffee, on those
who are susceptible to caffeine poisoning, is so
complex that it is difficult to foretell where its
hurt will be most serious; in Heart, Head, Eyes,
Serves or where.
The stroke of trouble will come somewhere if
the daily doses are persisted in.
Of course, if anyone prefers to treat his body in
that way it is useless to suggest relief.
Let him “follow the trail” until badly wounded.
Some go so far they can’t get back to health.
Others quit the foolish, losing game before fixed
chronic disease sets in.
There is a mighty army of sensible ones, how
ever, who have bravely tested the truth with their
own bodies to see whether or not it was the truth
that coffee caused their ailments.
It’s an easy test. Quit coffee absolutely for 10
days. Take Postum hot and well-made and keep
track of the change toward health day by day.
It’s the most exquisite pleasure in the world to
be perfectly well with all the delicate and beauti
fully adjusted machinery of the body working in
harmony, not interfered with by drugs, one of the
most insidious and deceptive of which is caffeine in
coffee.
This is Truth.
Meet it bravely with head up and a hearty
handclasp.
Truth thus made welcome will prove your
best friend.
These are facts without regard to our own
opinion, or to whether or not you use Postum.
However, it is well to consider that famous
food-drink because it supplies a hot beverage of
flic deep seal-brown color of coffee, which turns to
the rich golden-brown when cream is added.
It has a snappy flavor much like the old-time
real Java, but there is no “sting” in it, no caf
feine or other drug of any sort. It is skillfully
manufactured of wheat and a trace of New Or
leans molasses.
It comes in two forms. One called Regular
Postum, must be boiled full 15 minutes.
The other, Instant Postum, is in powder form
and a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water makes
the beverage instantly. Grocers keep both kinds.
“There’s a Reason” for
POSTUM
