— to look br&ve. His father and mother
bowed their heads and seemed to aga
in their seats as the minutes of the

: Couple Married 11
Times in 4 Years
HAGERSTOWN. MD, Aug. 21.—
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vernon lay claim
‘ to being the most married couple in
4C the world. They’ve had the knot tied
Z eleven times. They first were mar-
— ried in Columbus. Ohio, in 1909, then
r- in Montreal in 1910, in Scotland, Eng-
-t land. Wales, Germany. France, Bel-
—- glum and Russia in 1911; in Australia
Z in 1912, and in Mexico in 1913.
Z Vernon said it merely was a hobby
* ? of theirs to be married in every dif-
Z ferent country they visit.
Edwin P. Ansley
purchased a ticket for Marsha War
rington. and the fourth that he pur
chased a ticket for Lola Norris.
Unable to Agree on Two.
On the other two counts there was
a long wrangle and Anally disagree
ment.
These wer-:
That Diggs induced, persuaded and
advised Marsha Warrington to go
with him to Reno for Immoral pur
poses, and that he induced, persuaded
and advised Lola Norris to go to
Reno with F. Drew Caminetti for im
moral purposes.
While the women of the Diggs and
Caminetti families sat as if stunned
arrangements for bail were made and
the Jurors went away. Some of them
said it was the story of Diggs himself
on the stand that hurt his cause.
“Cheer up, Maury," said Drew Cam
inetti. going up to his chum. “The
fight is not over yet. Stop looking sn
glum.”
But young Mrs. Diggs wept silent
ly, while the defendants mother
seemed about to faint.
Diggs refused to comment on his
conviction. After his bonds had been
filed he left with his wife and daugh
ter for his father’s home in Berekeley.
To C am' Un Appeal.
Prosecutor Roche, following the re
turn of the verdict, said that the
United States Supreme Court has
held that a person is technically
guilty of violating the Mann white
slave law wnen he induces u woman
to go to another State even to
enter a dance hall, contending that it
lays the woman open to a life of
debauchery.
Nat Coghlan. of counsel for the de
fense, said it was the Intention to
carry the case to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals on the
ground that Judge Van Fleet was
guilty of reversible error in falling
to deliver instructions submitted to j
him by the defense on the ground I
that he prevented them from intro- |
duclng testimony concerning Miss
Warrington.
"If we obtain no satisfaction in the j
United States Court of Appeals," said
Coghlan, “we shall appeal to the
highest tribunal of the land."

of Mrs. Florence Boyer Godbee, who,
with her husband, Judge Walter
Godbee was fatally shot on Monday
by Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee, di

be taken to Waynesboro on Friday-
and burled beside Judge Godbee,
whose funeral was held in that city,
his former home, on Tuesday, just a
few hours before his bride died. Mrs.
G. W Boyer, mother of Mrs. Godbee,
arrived here yesterday and took,
charge of her daughter’s body'.
Ordinary F. G. Rabb has appointed
temporary administrators for the es
tates of Judge and Mrs. Godbee,
Frank Mills Godbee being named for
his father’s .estate and A. S. Ander
son for that of Mrs. Godbee. It is
said Judge Godbee left a will, but
this has not been probated. His es
tate is said to amount to about >50 -

insurance. As she survived tier hus
band her family will likely make claim
to a w idow’s share In his estate.
Mrs. Edna Godbee remains In the

and her sons, Frank Godbee, from Au

A petition signed by 214 attorneys
of Atlanta was presented to Governor
John M. Slaton Thursday morning at
11 o’clock asking that the ndw fourth
Judge of the Atlanta Judicial (Mrcult,
provided for in a bill passed by the
last session of the General Assembly,
be appointed from among the mem
bers of the Atlanta bar who have been
residents of Fulton County for at least
three years.
The petition was presented to tjio
Governor by a committee of 25 law -
years, of which Hollis N. Randolph is
.chairman, which was named at a
meeting of the Atlanta Bar Associa
tion soon after the passage of.the bill.
The committee, in .transmitting the
petition to the .Governor,.made it plain
that the local attorneys ventured to
make no suggestions as to wllorfi he
. fe haM appoint, inasmuch as the Gov
ernor has for several years been a
leading attorney of Atlanta and is in
timately acquainted with the qualifi
cations and fitness of the local mem
bers of the bar.
The statement of the committee
also calls the attention of the Gov
ernor to the fact that the appoint
ment of an Atlantan will In r\o way
Interfere with the continued service
Of Judge L. S. Roan, of the Stone
Mountain Circuit, who now presides
over the criminal division of the Ful
ton Superior Court.
It Is not thought that Governor Sla
ton will announce his appointment
until he returns from the conference of
Governors at Colorado Springs next
week, for which he expects to leave
Satu rday.
Promised $1,000,000 from the United
States Treasury, the national banks
of Atlanta are arguing strongly to
convince Secretary McAdoo that At
lanta deserves a larger portion of the
$50,000,000 which he has volunteered
to let the banks use at 2 per cent this
fall, during the trying days of market,
ing the crops of the South and the
West.
Since the Secretary maae his allot
ment. crop prospect* in the Southeast
have brightened as rapidily as the
outlook in the West and Southwest
has dimmed. Drouth makes it look
as If the West wdll have a shortened
yield, against the Southeast's bumper
crop. This Is one of the arguments
the Atlantans are using to prove they
can use the money to greater advan
tage than can cities in other sections.
The expected $1,000,000 may come
within a week. Washington has not
set a definite date. Atlanta banks
will be ready to comply with the re
strictions the Secretary has drawn
immediately upon notice that the de
posits are available.
Five Banks Eligible.
Five national banks in Atlanta are
eligible to receive a share of the $1,-
000,000. The other, one of the largest
and best, does not believe In main
taining a bank note circulation of 40
per cent, the size the Secretary de
mands.
Of the five eligible banks two have
capital of $1,000,000 each, two have
$600,000 capital and one has $500,000.
The division of $1,000,000. if made
Strictly according to capital, would
put about $270,000 in' the larger two
institutions, $162,000 in tw f o and $135,-
000 in the fifth.
Ten per cent of the deposit must be
secured by Government bonds.
Government bonds are not a profit
able investment. It is not likely that
any Atlanta bank ha si $25,000 of them
lying idle. But for this purpose prob
ably they will borrow the bonds.
Many banks and individuals are glad
to lend their bonds for a small fee.
State Bonds Available.
Commercial paper may be used for
security against the remaining 90 per
cent of the deposits, at 65 per cent of
its value. Assuming a Government
deposit to be $200,00i» 10 per cent se
cured by Government bonds, it would
take $514,000 of commercial paper to
secure the balance of the amount.
Municipal or State bonds at 75 per
cent valuation, can be need as se
curity. Many of the .Atlanta banks
have such bonds idle at present,
picked up at attractive prices, and
now “coming in handy.”
In spite of all the restrictions, it
will pay Atlantans to conform. Sec
retary McAdoo want9 2 per cent. New
York juMt now wants 5 1-2, with a
strong probability that the rate soon
will be stiffer.
The necessary clearing house com
mittee to pass on local commercial
paper offered as collateral has not
been named.
Depositors in the City Savings
Bank, which closed its doors March
31, will get 30 or 40 per cent of their
money in September, according to L.
F. McClelland, receiver.
It may be the bank will reorganize
and resume business at a new loca
tion and under a new name. Some
of the officers of the City Savings
Bank have been frying hard to do
this, but so far without result.
Unless they are successful within
the next week or ten days, Mr. Mc
Clelland will ask permission from
Judge Pendleton to declare a dividend
early next month. At the same time
he will ask the court’s permission to
sell the assets.
“I took charge May 27,’* Mr. Mc
Clelland said. “At that time deposits
were about >57,000 and loans were
>86,900. I have collected $17,000 in
cash, and persons with checking ac
counts have paid $7,000 on their notes
the bank held. Therefore, loans have
been reduced >24,000 to $62,900, and
deposits have been reduced $7,000 to
$50,000.
"I have $17,000 casn on nand
against $50,000 deposits. By Septem
ber I can probably pay 40 per cent.
“I find an unexpected asset of about
$3,000 In the shape of accrued inter
est which was not listed in the state
ment of condition given at the time
the bank closed. This will help con
siderably.
“If the court will permit me to sel)
the $62,900 in notes, the depositors
can be paid In full at once. In any
event, they will get *all their money,
but it may take a long time.
There are 1,500 depositors with $1
each.”
