Man Tried for Lif
Waits Verdict Asleep
l (By International News Service.)
ATHENS, April 20.—Sound asleep
while on trial for his life, William Por
ter had to be awakened to hear the jury
return a verdict of ‘‘not guilty.”
Porter was accused of the murder of
Earl Fitzpatrick and his defense was the
unwritten law. The circumstances un
der which the slaying had occurred were
such that this defense apparentlv could
not be broken down. So, while waiting
for the trial to start, Porter settied back
and, contrary to all murder trial tradi
tions, slumbered. Twenty minutes later
!the jury had been empaneled, testimony
taken, the jury charged and the ver
dict returned. It was said today to have
been the quickest murder trial in the
history of the State.

FOR “JIM CROW"” CARS.
‘ WASHINGTON, April 20.—“ Jim
Crew” street cars for the District of
Columbia are provided for in a bill
offered to the Senate by Senator
Trammell, of South Carolina
ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1918
Members of the Liberty Looan teams
which rolled up $402,5660 on the third
day of the canvass were acting Sat
urday as "moppers--up" and going
after the prospects overlooked, out
of town or *busy” when the original
calls were made, but the day was
rather looked upon as a lull before the
big drive. That begins Monday, when
the Women's Battalion goes into ac
tion.
In the meantime, the stunt commit
tee under Frank E. I.owenstein was
framing up a few things to keep At
lanta from forgetting the Liberty
Loan campaign is under way. Ome of
these will be the appearance Satur
day afternoon of Lew Dockstader,
minstrel star, who will sell bonds at
4:30 o'clock at Five Points. A big
register for the names of subscribers
will be there, and “Sign That Book"
will be the slogan.
Stunts Are Planned.
Next week, it is planned, all At
lanta will be given an invitation to
subscribe to the bond issue by run
ring the gantlet on an uptown street.
The stunt committee is planning a
narrow passage along one of the side
walks, with a line of secretaries armed
with fountain pens and subscription
blanks, and the motto here will be
“They Shall Not Pass’” until they sign
an application or prove they already
have subscribed.
Considerable noise 1s expected to
accompany the campaigm next week,
ior a big bell will be rung whenever
a bond is sold, and a cannon concealed
near the heart of the city will boom
at short intervals.
Atlanta Saturday was surprised to
learn that Birmingham had set a pace
which the Georgia capital has not
been able to follow so far. Birming
ham has not only exceeded her guota,
which was about half that of Atlanta,
but has actually subscribed more in
dollars than has Atlanta.
W. U. Subscribes $3,000,000.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company, it was announced, has subd
scribed $3,000,000, to be divided among
the districts. The Atlanta district
will be assigned as its share between
$130,000 and $260,000 Besides this,
employees of the company are invest
ing liberally.
The woman's committee of the Sev
enth Ward has announced a Liberty
Loan rally Saturday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock in Howell Park, Gordon and
Peeples streets. A regimental band
will play, and in case of rain the
meeting will be transferred to the
Peeples Street School, opposite the
park. Mrs. W. B. Disbro and Mrs,
A. L. Colcord are in charge of the
program.
Ward rallies were held Friday in
several schools. The woman's poster
committee, under Mrs. St. Elmo Mas
sengale, covered hundreds of loca
tions with Liberty bond posters.

AAARAAAAAAAN A At
( By FRANK CHARLTON,
Cable Editor of the International
News Service,
The British lines jn the Givenchy
Festubert sector of the Flanders bat«
tle front, which were dented by pow
erful German attacks on Thursday,
have been completely restored.
By a series of brilliant counter as
saults the British first division threw
‘the Germans from all the objectives
they had gained in this district and
sent them reeling back to their old
positions. Again heavy German losses
marked the course of the combat,
The successful British attacks in
this zone and a flare-up of fighting
near Robecq broke the infantry lull,
which had been existing in the Flan
ders battlefleld.
But this was not the only success
for the Britlwh. South of the Scarpe
River successful minor enterprises
were carried ont by the British, dn
which prisoners were captured.
Allied Pressure Grows. .
As the German pressure weakened,
due to losses and exhaustion, theral
lied counter measures are growing‘in
strength.
This is shown by two facts: The
Germans not only have not been able
to advance, but have lost groundof
great importance. Their effort!to
break through to the British railhead
position at Bethune, by forcing a path
along lL.a Bassee (anal, has been sde
cisively checked.
The Germans started driving:to
ward Bethune early in the week, but
in spite of the employment of huge
forces they were able to make amly
slight gains. The British were ¢re
infcrced and their first big counter
stroke wrested from the Germanssall
they had captured
(Bethune lies on the southern bank
of l.a Bassee Canal, about 6 miles
west of the town of L.a Bassee. The
gateway lay through the Givenchy-
Festubert sector. Givenchy is about
4 miles east of Bethune and Festubert
is approximately a mile north by west
of Givenchy.)
Whether or not the extension of the
fighting southward to the Scarpe
River zone (east of Arras) has any
sigrificance is yvet to be seen.
Germans Nearly Exhausted.
The Allies have all of the best of
the Flanders situation, They heold
dominating hills surrounding the bowl
in which the German lines lay, the
Germans are almost completely ex-
