HERCULEM
FACES FULTON 5
NEWEST JUDGE
Ben Hill Believes That by the
Hardest Kind of Work He
Can Clear Docket.
IMBUED WITH ORIGINAL IDEAS
I
Intends to Remain on Appellate
Bench Until Roan Is Ready
to Take Place.
Once upon a time there wao a Mr,
Hercules who was signed up for the
job of cleaning the Augean stables.
It war a surpassing hard job at that.
But Judge Ben Hill, the present head
of the Georgia Court of Appeals,
faces a task that Is just about as
formidable. He must clear the crim
inal docket of the Fulton County
Superior Court, which, besides be
ing crowded with venerable oases
that have been postponed from term
to term, has the startling number of
seventeen murder cases.
The fourth judgeship of the Su
perior Court was created, endowed
with the mission of clearing the long
congested docket, and Judge Hill, by
reason of his appointment, will fall
into the task. It is his mission, and
he will do It.
Probably It will take six months,
maybe n year, maybe longer. Hlnce
time Immemorial the criminal docket
of the court has been overloaded.
Judge Roan, who attended to most
of the criminal business, had other
counties besides Fulton In his charge,
and there never was time for him to
do everything
The cases in which defendants
were out under bond were seldom
reached except after long delay. And,
therefore, the docket of bond cases
has probably never been clear since
the beginning of the Fulton Superior
t’ourt, as cases In which the defend
ants were In jail always took prece
dence over the others, and usually
occupied about all the time Judge
Roan could give to the Fulton County
work.
Has Capacity for Work.
The new judge has a remarkable
capacity for work, as any lawyer tn
Georgia will tell you. He looks at
the task ahead of him In the Atlanta
court without perturbation.
' You see, there are hundreds of
a STS each year before the Court of
Appeals.” said a lawyer, "that must
be studied carefully, ns the judge of
the court of last resort should study
cases After that, where Is there any
amount of .work judicial that Is ap
palling?
"The docket of the Fulton Su
perior Court Is woefully crowded. It
is true, due to the lack of time In the
past the presiding judge had in
which to hold court, and due, too,
to the length of time consumed by
the recent Frank case. There are an
unusual number of capital cases, but
the situation altogether is abnormal
because of very natural reasons, and
can be adjusted with a year’s hard
work."
Works Out Own Ideas.
Judge Hill, also, goes Into the new
position with his own ideas about
the duties and responsibilities of a
judge.
“A Judge." continued the lawyer. "Is
a part of every case he hears. He
becomes, for the time, that case No
one else can sit tn it afterward or
, serve In It quite so effectively and
fairly as he. He Is the thirteenth
juror." «
Just when Judge Hill will resign
from the head of the Court of Ap
peals and step Into the Fulton Coun
ty Court Is not known. Judge Hill
himself would not say. it Is under
stood, however, that he will not re
sign until every case before the
Court of Appeals Is settled In which
he has served as judge, and that
Judge Roan will not resign until he
has considered all motions In cases
tried before him.
This last specification Includes the
1 rank case, and If the gossip among
lawyers is of substantial basis.
Judge Roan will remain on the Su
perior Court bench until the Frank
motion for a new trial is settled.

CHAPTER I.
HOWEVER anxious on* may be to
record one’s childhood, that pe
riod of life Is the most elusive.

My father was a lawyer Win” Ne®.
bit was respected from one end of the
country to th#* other, and had a repu
tation which extended beyond the
line of local celebrity A charming.
i genial man. I have only the most
tender memories of him, fnr ha died
when I was 10, and that Is an age
when a child begins to form the most
roseate impressions nf those she haa
marked down for hero worship.
My childhood was the happiest time
of my life That 1s the Impression I
have nnw I know that I was a tom
boy, very keen on prize fights (of 'll',
things in the world), and delighted in
promoting combats in secluded spots
between children who were v<rv
beautiful to me, but who, in the ey s
of my outraged parents, were th“
most impossible playmates
My mother is one of the sweetest
women I have ever met Artistic to
her finger tips, her home has ever
been an harmonious and beautiful
thing
• • •
I dn not know exactly In what posi
tion my father left her, but my recol
lection Is that my mother had to pay
frequent visits to court on account of
my father's affairs.

seemed tn be in some prosperity, but
afterward there was a great deal < f
worry. Whatever money my mother
had was gone, and it was necessary
for us to rent a few rooms in the
house to outsiders. ♦ • •
Mother had made up her mind that
she would leave Pittsburg and go to
Philadelphia. She wae very artistic,
und she hoped to get a position as a
designer. We wore sent to an aimi,
and afterward to a family which niv
mother had known In Pittsburg.
I was between 13 and 14 at the
time, just old enough to Take an in
telligent interest tn my parent’s if
fairs. I do not remember exactly what
idea I had as to our future when I
went to Philadelphia * • *
It was there I met Mrs Dara h,
who was an artist. She was attract’ d
by my face, and asked n> if 1 would

began the great education, an educa

ROTARI CLUB’S
CAMPAIGN FOB
FUNDSBD D MIN G
Young Hustlers Expect to Get As
sociated Charities’ $3,000
Emergency Fund This Week.
If heroic efforts of the Rotary Club
members avail, the Associated Chari
ties should be out of the financial
hole within a few days—that is, tem
porarily. About one-half the $3,000
pledge of the Rotary Club has been
secured, and the club members are
planning a more vigorous campaign
to begin Monday.
Os course, all Atlanta understands
the Associated Charities is in great jf
need than of the $3,000. That amount
is but an emergency call. Beyond
that $4,200 is needed badly to run
the benevolent organization merely
until the first of the year.
Subscriptions to the Associated
Charities fund through the Rotary
Club are being made to W. B. Sea
brook, or to any member of the club,
which is an organization of the hus
tling younger business men of At
lanta. Each member has made him
self a special canvasser, and is go
ing after the fund as if its accumu- r
lation depended upon him alone.
The need of the association, under
its present system nf caring for the |
city’s indigents. is about $21,000 i i
year, which is not produced by the
means of now open.
One plan for an increased revenue
that has been suggested involves a
request of all contributing members
now enrolled that they increase their
present contributions, and that each
endeavor to interest a non-memb.r
in the work.
