FLOGGING CASES SEEM EPIDEMIC Georgia and Alabama Have Several Before Courts July 12.—P—Four more Stephens county men were ready for ‘trial today on charges growing out of the tlogging on June 12 of Mrs. Ansley Bowers. They are Claude Groover, auto dealer; T. R. Lowry, furniture factory worker and Elmer Clark and Charles Thomas, railroad employees. All are charged with assault with intent to murder and counsel for the men have indicated that alibi pleas will be present. W. G. Acree superintendent of a Baptist Sunday school and princi- pal of the Stephens county high school was convicted in superior court Saturday of assault and bat- tery in eonnection with the flogging of Mrs. Bowers. The original charge against him was assault with intent to murder but the jury reduced the crime from a felony to a mis- demeanor in returning the verdict. Acree, who resigned his connections with the schools following the trial was released on bond and awaits sentence. Acree, Groover, Lowry, Clark and 'Thomas, all face another trial on similar charges due to the flogging of Lloyd Bowers, 15 year old son of Mrs. Bowers, who tried to intercede when his mother was whipped. A series of warrants resulted when the flogging of Mrs, Bowers was made known, and it was reveal- cd that this was one of five similar cases of activities by hooded bands in the Toccoa section in recent months.

INLAWS BARRED | FROM FAMILY ROWS Should Not Inerfee in Domestc| Fights, Court Says Husband and wife who quarrel in their own home should be left to their own resources to settle their differences, instead of being interfer- ed with by “in-laws,” Judge Morris D.

He suspended judgment on Newman and Neurath, the former having been charged with breach of the peace and as- saulting his wife, and the latter with breach of the peace and assaulting | Newman. | ergeant Thomas J. Feeney testi- fled that he went to 55 Mill street at 1:15 this morning on complaint and learned from Mrs. Newman that her husband had kicked and punched | her. She had marks on her arms and legs and accused her husband, | who showed signs of having been { drinking but was not intoxicated. Neurath admitted to the sergeant that he had taken his sister’s side in the trouble and punched her hus- band in the face, raising a lump un- der the left eye. Mrs. Newman testified that she was putting a child to bed last night | when her husband, who was already !in bed, struck the child for disturb- ing him. She remonstrated with him and he struck her, injuring her arm |50 that it was necessary to call a | physician.

Then he i punched him. Newman testified that [he did not recall striking his wife, { but he remembered that they “had | some words, naturally.” His brother- {in-law lives with them but is not | welcome, Newman said, as this is the second time he has carried a discolored eye resulting from | Neurath's punches.
