THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS SLIVER,FACES 2D YEARS; SPPEIL FIGHT PLANNED VICTIMS IN GODBEE TRAGEDY AT MILLEN Judpe Walter S. Godbee and his bride, slain by his di vorced wife. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—Maury I. Diggs, State architect at 25 and now but 27 years of age, convicted )n a charge of violating the Mann white slave act in transporting Marsha Warrington from one State to an other for Immoral purposes, will he sentenced September 2. His attor neys announced to-day th:.t they will appeal the case. It was the unanimous opinion of the twelve Juror* before whom he was tried that h© was guilty on four of the six counts in the indictment Under the law the maximum penalty is five years In the penitentiary, a 15,000 fine, or both, on each count. Next Tuesday F. Drew Camlnettl, son of United States Commissioner of Immigration Camlnettl, will go on trial in the same court on the same charge. He eloped with Lola Norris to Reno, Nev. Diggs can be sent to the peniten tiary for twenty years on the four counts. An indictment still stands against him for attempted suborna tion of perjury. Last night Diggs kept out of the Alameda County Jail by filing a bond for $20,000—$5,000 on each of the four counts. His old father and his fa ther’s partner and cousin, Marshall Uiggs, the widely known Democratic leader, were sureties. Child Sleeps in Courtroom. While Diggs was facing conviction his little daughter Evelyn slept peacefully in the courtroom, In which she had prattled through the day. His young wife bit her lips and tried to look brave. His father and mother bowed their heads and seemed to ags in their scale as the minutes of the jury’s deliberation dragged. The four counts on which Diggs was found guilty regarded the pur chase of the ticket \ .* the flight from Sacramento to Reno and the carrying off of the two girls. The first count alleged that he as sisted and aided i*' transporting Mar sha Warrington from Sacr: .ento to become his mistress. The second count accused him of assisting in transporting Lola Norris to Reno to be the mistress of F. Drew Camlnettl. The third count alleged that he 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 finally disagree ment. These were: 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 Camlnettl for Im moral purposes. While the women of the Diggs and Camlnettl families sat as if stunned arrangements for bail were made and the Jurors went nway. Some of them said It w'as the .story of Diggs himself on the stand that hurt his cause. “Cheer up, Maury," said Drew Cam- Inettl, going up to his chum. "The fight is not over yet. Stop looking so glum." But young Mrs. Diggs wept silent ly, while the defendant’s 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 Csrrv U“i Appeal. Prosecutor Roehe, 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 i- 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 VanFleet was guilty of reversible error in falling to deliver instructions submitted to him by the defense on the ground that he prevented them from intro ducing testimony concerning Miss Warrington. "If we obtain no satisfaction in the United States Court of Appeals,” said Coghlan, “we shall appeal to the highest tribunal of the land.” Dynamite ‘Plant’ Is Found UnderWindow Of Gaynor’s Office NEW YORK Aug. 21.—Four sticks of dynamite, encased in heavy cam bric, containing 40 per cent gellatine dynamite, attached to a four-inch fuse and detonating cap, was found in City Hall Park under the window of Mayor Gaynor’s office to-day.

Mackay, who. with a party, Is srouse-shooting at Fatteresso. in Kincardineshire, has been teaching the Sco’s how to pronounce his sur name.

A petition signed by 214 attorneys of Atlanta was presented to Governor John M. Slaton Thursday morning at J1 o’clock asking that the new fourth judge of the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, 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 w r ho have been residents of Fulton County for at least three years. The petition was presented to the 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 whom he shall appoint, inasmuch as thp 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 no 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 Saturday. Good roads and highway boosters of Atlanta and Georgia are watching with interest the progress of Path finder Ferguson, who is blazing a trail from Atlanta to San Francisco for Hearst’s Sunday American and other papers. The Ferguson party is speeding through east Alabama toward Bir- mingnam. Arriving there about noon Thursday the party will be escorted Into the city by a big delegation of good roads boosters, city officials and leading citizens, headed by a brass band. Soon after the arrival a mon ster meeting and reception will be held In honor of the trail-blazers. The tourists will resume the Jour ney to Montgomery Friday morning and are scheduled to arrive in the Alabama capital Saturday. From Montgomery the party will proceed to Mobile, thence to New Orleans, Dal- ” uiego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. £.n*r)u*.s-vugurs Success. If the enthusiasm manifested in the big campaign all along the route from Atlanta to Birmingham is an indica tion of that which is to follow from Mobile and New Orleans on to San Francisco, the ultimate success of the project is assured. Seldom in either Georgia or Ala bama have people been known to take such interest in a campaign of this sort. Leaving Atlanta Monday morn ing, the Ferguson party arrived at Austell, where a big delegation of Douglasville good roads boosters met the tourists to escort them to Doug lasville. Here Mayor Upshaw and Editor Drake acted as hosts at a re ception at the Douglasville Hotel. Not to be outdone by their neighbors, the Tallapoosa boosters took the tourists in hand Tuesday morning and escort ed them across the State line to Hef lin, Ala., w'here another reception was held, with Booster R. A. Perryman as the host. Contest Over Routes Develops. From Heflin the tourists proceeded direct to Anniston, where a new sort of evidence of the Immense Interest in the campaign was found In the form of a contest between rival delegations from Ashville and Riverside, who want the highway between Anniston and Birmingham. Mr. Ferguson settled the contro versy for the present by deciding to go by way of Ashville on this trip and via Riverside and Pell City on the second trip to San Francisco. Al though the Riverside enthusiasts were keenly disappointed, they took their medicine manfully and went back home Tuesday afternoon to begin work on the road in prepartlon for Mr. Ferguson’s trip several months hence. The official route through this section of the country will not be se lected until both routes have been checked over carefully. Following arrival at Anniston Path finder Ferguson declared the roads between Atlanta and the Alabama city were in good shape in most places and highly capable of affording a first-class trans-continental route. If the citizens of Georgia and East Ala bama do as much for the roads in the next two years as they have done in the last two Mr. Ferguson declar ed, the highway through this section will be ideal. The records Mr. Ferguson Is making show' the road between Austell and Douglasville to be one of the finest stretches in East Georgia. The road bed is built of fin* granite soil which is damaged very little by traffic. From Douglasville to Tallapoosa the road is not quite so good but is in such shape that a small expenditure would put it in excellent condition. The entire route from Austell to Tal lapoosa is over the old Tallapoosa highway, which in former times was the Tallapoosa Indian trail. The pres ent road was constructed about 25 years ago. Receiver McClelland Says He Ex pects to Give Depositors Prob ably 40 Per Cent. 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 Saving* Bank have been trying 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 cash on hand 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 sell 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.” ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT AVegctable Preparation IbrAs- siraila (in§ the FoodandRe^ula f ing (Be Stomachs andBowels of Infants /Chudrkn Promotes DigeslionfheerM- ness and Rest.Contains neitte' Opiuni.Morphine nor Mineral No’*' Narcotic.

OHIO, June 2. 1913:—“About eight years ago my hands would get very red—then little blisters w’ould come with pus in them. They would itch, and burn so that I could not sleep at all. I used everything people told me about, and all kinds of blood treatments, but they did me no good. 1 wore out doz ens of pairs of rubber gloves, us ing them when working in water, and still the eczema stayed. “About three years ago I read about Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment, and at once bought some at the drug store. They gave me immediate relief, and after us ing two jars of Resinol Ointment ; and a cake of Resinol Soap, I can honestly say that my hands are cured. It has been three years already since I am cured, and the | eczema has not returned. I really can’t say enough about Resinol.” (Signed! Mrs. Ohas. P.
