Adopted June 21st 1911
In court here Tuesday morning,
one Mr. Porter was given a prelim,
ihary hearing before Justic U. H.
Smith. Mr, Porter was charged
with being drunk, and being bois-
terouis on a certain {passenger
train between Waycross and Val¬
dosta on the night of July 7th
It developed in the case, however
that the defendant refused to pay
his car fare and was consepuently
put off the tram and delivered in
the hands of the town marshall.
This was beyond their power,
however, and the maa eame clear
of all charges. The conductor was
lawful in putting the man off his
train, but , be had no authority to
have him locked up. Col. 8. Burk¬
halter represented the state, while
Col. W. B, Gibbs, our rising
young attorney, represented the
defendant. We must congratulate
Mr- Gibbs upou the excellent man
ner in which he handled his case.
