BANKERS: NEW TRIAL IN ATHENS CASE REVIVED
The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed Judge Brand and allowed J. W. Griffin and R. H. McCrary to withdraw their guilty pleas to an indictment charging deposits while the Athens Trust and Banking Co. was insolvent. The decision holds that pleas may be withdrawn if misled or if punishment was promised improperly, directing a new trial on merits. The Banner reported the ruling as news from Atlanta and noted pending motions, possible bail, and potential change of venue as the case proceeds toward October terms.
