possibly death because of a

children, don't allow them to
wander around the front or

the law.”
SPEEDERS
Chief David Starkey of the
Trion Police Department said
his department will also be on
the lookout for speeders and
reckless drivers. “In most ac
cident cases where alcohol is in
volved, so are speeding or
wreckless driving,”’ Chief
Starkey said. *‘lf you have to
go somewhere during the
holidays, leave in plenty of
time so you don’t have to rush.
And reckless driving will leaa
to nothing but increased
danger for drivers, their
passengers and other
motorists. We will make cases
to prevent a local tragedy.”
Chief John Echols of the
Summerville Fire Department
also asked local residents to be

cautious during the holidays to
avoid potentially destructive
and tragic fires.
DRY TREES
While fireplaces offer a
“homey" touch during the
holidays, as well as heat, they
may also be dangerous if not
handled properly, Echols said.
Christmas decorations, in
cluding dried-out Christmas
trees, could also prove to be fire
dangers.
Most of all, Echols said,
local residents should obtain
smoke detectors for their
homes and for the homes of
elderly relatives.
“Everyone should check
~ their Christmas tree lights for
} frayed or bare wires, cracked
‘ sockets or loose connections,”
Echols said. *“Other things peo
ple should watch out for are
overloading electrical circuits
and leaving Christmas trees or
other decorations burning
while the family is asleep.
NO LIGHTS
“It almost goes without
saying but no metal tree should

ever be trimmed with electric
lights,”” he added.
Decorative candles should
be placed out of reach of
youngsters and away from
flammable materials, Chief
Echols continued.
Live Christmas trees
should be kept well-watered at
all times because heated indoor
air can (z{uickly dry out a tree
and make it more likely to
blaze up accidently, he warned.
An(f after gifts are opened
on Christmas Eve or on
Christmas morning, wrapping
paper should be dispose(f of in
covered containers and not
added to a fireplace or stove,
Echols emphasized. ‘‘Large
amounts of paper burned in a
fireplace or stove can cause
flare-ups which can ignite soot
that may have accumulated in
the flue or chimney.”
The Georgia Safety Council
also had tips for partygoers
who plan to drink alcoholic
beverages. A ‘‘designated
driver’’ should be named to
stay completely sober and
drive other partygoers home,
the Council said. In no case,
should a driver consume more
than the equivalent of one mix
ed drink per hour and no drink
should be consumed for an
hour before leaving a party, it
added.
The birth of the Christ child
will be the theme of many
church programs and obser
vances in the county this
weekend and early next week.
At least two live nativity
scenes have been planned at
different times, one at the
Alpine Community Church and
the other at the Church of God
on Old Highway 27 north.

day on whether Jarrells' at
torneys m?{y have the suspect
interviewed to determine if a
mental examination may be
needed.
Loggins will also hear from
both sides next week on
whether witnesses in the case
had been told by the district at
torney's office not to talk with
defense lawyers. Roland Enloe,
one of Jarrell's two attorneys,
told Judge Loggins that at
least two witnesses had said
they had been told by the
district attorney’s office not to
discuss the case with the
defense. Lomenick denied the
charge.
GRAND JURY
Challenges to the array of
the August term Grand .f:xry
that indicted Jarrells and a
challenge to the entire trial
Lury pool have been set for a
earing on Monday, Dec. 28.
Jarrells is expected to be
formally arraigned after that
hearing.
Enloe, when asked bf] Log
gins about any possible mo
tions regarding publicity in the
case, said he may offer a mo
tion for a change of venue, or
to move the case outside Chat
tooga for trial.
Judge Loggins indicated
that next Monday's hearing
might go into Tuesday if
needed.
A tentative trial date of
Feb. 22 was set for the case,
the jurist said he had inform
ed both sides in a Nov. 23 let
ter. Loggins added that a con-
Teen-Ager Charged
A 16-year-od boy was ar
rested on drug charges at Chat
tooga County High School last
Thursday, Dec. 10, according
to the sheriff's office.
The youngster, whose name
can't be released under Georgia
law, was found by CHS Coach
Buddy Windle and Asst. Prin
cipal Rodney Alred to be in the
possession of suspected drugs
at the school, the sheriff’s of
fice added.
POWDER
When lawmen went to the
school, they found a clear
plastic bag containing
suspected marijuana and a
plastic box containing a white
powder residue believed to be
cocaine. i
In addition, lawmen said
they confiscated a straw, a
marijuana pipe and cigarette
papers. The material was sent
to the Georgia State Crime
Laboratory.
The case was referred to
Juvenile Court and the teen
ager was turned over to the
custody of his parents, the
sheriff's office said.

Ruritan Club
Turkey, Ham
Shoot Slated
A turkey and ham
shoot, sponsored by the
Johns Mountain Ruritan
Club, will be held Saturday
at Fisher Chapel United
Methodist Church, Dry
Creek Road. It will begin
at 10 a.m.
Proceeds from the
shoot will aid the club’s
community projects.
Money Taken
Some $22 was taken from
the purse of Barbara Ratliff,
Alpine, while her car was park
ed at the Chattooga Count
Nutrition Center on SeventK
Avenue on Dec. 9, said Sum
merville police Capt. Fred
Lawson.
Sgt. Larry Bennett said so
meone had a new car wiper
blade installed at Sentell's Ser
vice Station, Commerce Street
at First Avenue, on Dec. 10
and drove off without paying
for the work.
House Shot
The Chattooga County
Sheriff's Office is investigating
an incident Tuesday in which a
bullet was fired into a Trion
house. g
Reports said a .22 caliber
bullet was fired through a wall
of the home of Darriel Thomp
son, 308 McCollum St. It went
through a sofa and through the
front door, lodging between the
storm door and the front door.
~No one was injured. Rep.
Richard Gifford investigated.
Deer Struck
A Summerville Rte. 4
woman, Kathy Lee Keiser, 27,
apparently wasn't injured
when the car she was driving
struck a deer on Dec. 10, said
a report filed by Dep. Stan

ference between him and
defense and prosecution at
torneys about the (Fossibility of
a December trial date revealed
that the prosecution wouldn't
be ready for trial this month.
The defense said it was ready,
Loggins added.
SSOO ORDERED
After last week's con
ference, Judge Loggins ordered
Chattooga Commissioner
Harry Powell to pay Enloe and
Sam Finster, Jarrells’ other
defense attorney, a total of
SSOO for representing the
suspect so far.
L.omenick and Jim
Franklin, an assistant district
attorney, told defense at
torneys and Lomenick that the
?rosecution's files, including all
orensic test results, were open
to the defense as of last
Thursday.
The judge seemed
frustrated at times during last
Thursday's proceedings when
he would ask attorneys for
their views on an issue and not
receive a r?vs#mnse or a delayed
response. Most of his concern
seemed directed at defense
lawyers.
He pointed out that
Lomenicfi had been a district
attorney for several years, that
Franklin has had experience as
an assistant district attorney
and that Enloe is a former
assistant district attorney, ad
ding that they were aware of
procedures in such cases. He
told Erioe that he was seeking
“cooperation’” from the at-
bed the case.
THIRD
It was the third drug
related arrest at the high
school in the last few weeks.
A 15-year-old boy was
charged with possessing
suspected marijuana at the
school on Nov. 4 when other
students reported his
activities.
And a 23-year-old non
student was arrested at the
school's homecoming dance on
Oct. 30 and charged with
possessing suspected mari
juana and cocaine. ]
Coach Windle had told The
News in an interview con
ducted prior to Dec. 10 that a
problem with alcohol and drugs
existed with young J)eople in
the community and at the
school. The interview was
published last Thursday.

torneys as officers of the court
in procedural matters such as
scheduling hearings. Loggins
emphasized that fie was not
asking Enloe or Jarrells to Five
up any rights as a result of his
request,
ANSWERS?
During the conference, Log
gins asked whether the pro
secution had responded to his
Nov. 16 order to file briefs
answering several defense
motions.
Lomenick said he
understood that the motions
had been disposed of in the
judge’s office on Nov. 16.
fioggins replied that the
motins had not been disposed
of.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Franklin
then said the prosecution
didn't see any legai) need to res
pond to the motions with writ
ten briefs.
Enloe said he understood
that the prosecution was to
have responded within the
10-day period. He said he
assumed that the prosecution
had waived the right of
response. The defense lawyer
said he was ready to argue in
favor of the ex parte motion.
Lomenick and Franklin said
the state wasn't prepare to pre
sent arguments during Elst
week's conference.
EXPERTS
Enloe said the defense feels
it may need some expert
witnesses but doesn’t want the
prosecution to be aware of
those witnesses or about Jar
rells’ line of defense.
Lomenick said he didn't
have any idea what Jarrells’
defense would be.
Judge Loggins said he
wouldn't rule on the motion un
til he heard arguments from
both sides in the case.
Enloe noted that he had fil
ed a motion for the prosecution
to disclose the aggravating cir
cumstances in the Elrod slay
ing that caused the state to ask
for the death penalty.
Lomenick said the disclosure
would be filed at ‘*‘the ap
propriate time" before Jarrells’
arraignment.
WITNESSES
When Enloe said he wanted
a list of the witnesses before
the Grand Jury against Jar
rells, Lomenick said the infor
mation had been provided to
the defense.
*“I believe that is a
misstatement,”’ Enloe replied.
Franklin then said Sheriff
Gary McConnell and Erngst
Hurley, a neighbor of the Elrod
sisters, were the only potential
witnesses who had actually

Enloe also asked for
disclosure to the defense of Jar
rells' statements to lawmen
after his arrest. Franklin said
the information would be fur
nished before arraignment on
Dec. 28. . i
Enloe raised Lomenick's ire
when he said a couple of
witnesses in the case ha(f refus
ed to speak to the defense
because of orders from the
district attorney's office.
DENIED
“ That’s the first I've heard
of it and I'll state on the record
that no one from the district at-

I wanted you to know these
things that I have just stated.”
Loggins then asked if Enloe
had any comments.
“No,” Enloe responded.
The judge then asked Jar
rells if he was happy with his
attorneys and whether he
wanted to proceed with Enloe
and Summerville lawyer Sam
Finster.
“Yessir,” Jarrells replied.
JARRELLS
Asked by Loggins if he had
any objection to his defense
lawyers, Jarrells said, ‘l'd like
to speak with my lawyers.”

Lomenick said.
Enloe said his motion on
the Grand Jury filed before the
ganel convened on Nov. 16 to
consider the Jarrells case had
been denied in dpart and upheld
in part. He had asked for a fair
and impartial Jury, instruc
tions to the Jury and in

job they're doing,” the murder
suspect said.
Asked again if he had any
objections to his defense at
torneys, Jarrells said,
“Nossir.”
The judge then spent about
35 to 40 minutes last Thurs
day, Dec. 10, goinfi through the
outline of ?rocee ir:js for the
state's unified appeals process
