Prosecutor Wanted Equal Punishment
for Harsh and Gallogly. Judges
Commend Action.
Atlanta, April 1.—The state today
permitted George R. Harsh, of ytil-
w’aukee, and Richard G. Gallogly, At
lanta, wealthy former university stu
dents, to plead guilty to the murder
cf two men in attempted hold-ups here
last fall and sentenced each to im
prisonment for life.
Consent verdicts of guilty with rec
ommendations foij mercy were entered
in both cases on motion of Solicitor-
General John A. Boykin, wly) explain
ed that juries twice had failed to
agree on a verdict in Gallogly’s case,
wn le Harsh hal been convicted and
sentenced to death, and that in the
jsecution’s opinion, both should suf
fer equal punishment.
Gallogly, in entering his plea first,
aid he did so to save the life of his
lassmate, although he was convinced
'0 jury would have convicted him.
Harsh then was allowed to plead
guilty in another court after the for
mality of granting him a new trial
had been dispensed with.
The Milwaukee youth acknowledged
Gallogly’s action with a statement de
scribing it as magnanimous," and de
claring that Gallogly was not guilty
of the crimes. /

Harsh and Gallogly had been tried
only for the murder of.Willard Smith,
a young drug clerk, who was shot
dow'n by Harsh when he attempted to
resist a robbery of hrs store. They
faced another indictment, however,
charging them with the murder of S.
H. Meeks, grocery store employee,
who was slain^ in a siihilar attempt,
and both these cases were disposed of
in today’s proceedings..
Harsh, who had confessed the
crimes after he had been traced
through a wound inflicted by Smith
and who implicated Gallogly as the
•^river of the car in^w’hich he went to
and from the scene of the hold-up
pleaded mental irresponsibility at his
trial. Alienists were introduced who
testified he was a constitutional psy
chopath and unable to distinguish
free daypT

We sold Mr. J. Will Leake a New
Ford about 30 days ago. Since that
time he has taken a trip to Florida.
If you want to know anything
about the New Ford, just see Mr.
Leake. He is very much pleased
with his New Ford.
he knows why some firms employ
such dumb looking salesmen. The
customers feel that they cannot
help getting the best of the bar
gain.
New Fords are still being sold
as fast as we can get them in. We
have never had a Tudor Sedan in
stock over 48 hours. We are selling
Coupes just as fast as we get them.
‘See us and give us an order for a
New Ford.
"My, that’s a nice looking baby.
Do you notice how much he favors
your husband?*'
"I hope not. We adopted him.”
Good sense is a thing we all need,
few of us have and none think that
they are short of.
Now is the time to put on a set
of new Firestone tires. They have
the quality and the price is right.
We wash and grease all makes
of cars.
Middle age'is that period when a
lover is too old to write silly poetry
and too young to write silly letters.
<"We are very anxious to'serve foiT
on your New Ford. We have a sys
tem by which to keep up with your
‘greasing and oil changing. Put”
your car in our care and we will do
all we can to make it give you ser
vice.

A mistrial was declraed for the sec

A statement from the prosecutor to
Judge E, D. Thomas in Gallogly’s
icase said that under the circumstanc
es a life sentence on either-in lictment
was all that the. state could hope to
obtain from another trial and that by

ties of that office so, remodeled that
instead of spending time settling per-
r-oral disputes and studying post of
fice .sites the first assistant will be
come the right hand of the postmaster
general in the formulation of policies
and their execution. No one has been
selected to succeed ^Mr. Bartlett..
The third assi&tant, Robert S. Re-

public accountant if one can be found
who has what Mr. Brown terms "a
knowledge of the broa'der phases of
business.” Mr. Regar under the pres
ent plans, will be retained in the de-

new postmaster general has a high
