LEFT TO JURY, GEORGIA

Katonton, In which the defendant tried
to get a new trial because a negro
witness had been convicted of dishon
esty.

ibility of a witness should be left to
the jury,” said the decision. “Though
Ananias and Haphlra spoke again, the
law would not strike them dead, but
would leave their testimony to be ac
cepted by the Jury.”
