These goods consisted of dry goods,

Another store in the same town was

' 1 A \ *??????
SNitonced to Htrxt* Ow Year And I'ay
Fine of $1,000.
Atlanta, March 10. ?Convicted of at*
tempting to extort $?00,000 from Mayor
Asa <J, Cundler, and sentenced to nerve
out' yea r in Ja 1 1 ami pay u line of
#1.000. Mrs. Margaret Ilirsch, wife of
au insurance man, late today returned
to her <;eli in the county Jail, which
she has occupied since her indictment
a month ago.
Counsel for tin* defense nnnouncd a
motion of uppcal would he made later,
and bond was tixed at $3,000.
The case was given lo the jury late
tliln. afternoon and a verdict wan re
turned in twenty six minutes. Mrs.
llirseh revived the verdict of guilty
calmly, l?etraying no sign of eiuottoif
She remained seated while Judge Hill
pr<moun<tHl sentence, and at the con
clusion looked up aud said:
"I have not a word to say.'
Dramatic sjxM'ches by attorneys on
both sides' marked the closing hours
of the trial, said by many to be the
most important misdemeanor case In
the (history of the county. Mrs. liirsch
often sat with head bowed on her arm,
weeping bitterly, as she was denounced
by counsel for the State, and aguln
she cried whan her own counsel pleaded
with the Jury for justice, not mercy.
In charging the jury Judge Mill In
structed them that attempted black
mail may be committed in two ways,
either by direct accusation or by a
threat to- accuse for the purpose of ex
torting money He directed their at
tention to the charge of conspiracy,
which crime is an agreement to com
mit an unlawful offense. The question
of morality was not to be considered,
tiie court said, although itti untrue
charge of immorality 'was as bad as
blackmail.
?"If a man suspects that a crime is
about to )h> committed against <him",
Judge llill declared "he has the right
to uncover the plot of the conspirators.
The express demand for money was
not necessary. If their actions showed
it was their pui*]>ose to extort money,
then she is guilty. Itut Jf no conspir
acy existed and Cook caught them, or.
pretended to catch them, and Mrs.
Ilirsch submitted to the accusation and
.joined him and thereafter acted with
him, she wotold be equally as guilty
as he.
"Under the laws of Georgia you may
believe the defendant's statement, or
any part of it. as implicitly as you do
the evidence."
Mrs. Hirseh. under the court's sen
' tence. will Im? confined in the woman's
department of rhe State |>enitcntiary
at Milledgeville, Judge Hill holding she
! was imtittcd to labor on the public
works'" of Fulton County.
It was announced today that the
hearing of the motion for a new trial
for J. \Y. Cook, indicted jointly with
.Mrs. Ilirsch and convicted two weeks
.ago. was continued until March I'.'l. It
originally had been set f<?r hearing -to
day.
I'liUke the Cook trial, whiHi was
completed in one liny. the Iiirsch cast1
1 occupied throe flays;. lu'fiscrutloii
presented praety-ally tin* same wit-,
: lifssi's iu each sase. tln? principal tes
timony 1 ><*i n&r given liy Mayor Candler
ami Forest Adair. his friend. who de
veloped the alleged conspiracy. The
defense iu each case relied largely
upon Hh> statements of tin* principals.1
Cook and Mrs, Iiirsch.
Mrs*. Iiirsch ami Cook were indicted
February 11 last for attempted black
mail ? ?f thg Mayor. after the latter had
gone In-fore a special session of the
grand jury and related the details of
what transpirefl at his otlice in the
Candler building on February d. when
Mrs. Iiirsch called on him. and Cook
later api>carod at the door of Otis office.
According fo the Mayor's statement
Mrs. Iiirsch had removed her coat
when she entered his ollice, saying
she was hot a.nd tired. After talking
a few minutes she exclaimed that she
saw a man at one of the wiudows and
flic-Mayor turned to Inspect the win
dow. When he again turned his at
tention to Mrs. Iiirsch she had taken
off her hat and opened t lie door lead
ing into the hallway. There, lie said,
stood a man he never had seen before
and whom he afterwards learned was
named Cook.
' The Mayor said he became suspicious
ajid went for his son, to whom he ex
plained the circumstances. Forest
Adair also was telephoned for and the
details of conferences between him and
Mrs. Iiirsch, at which the demands for
money were made, were told to the
grand jury, resulting in tl?o indict
ments.
The last day of the Iiirsch trial was
marked" by frequent clashes between
opposing counsel over the admission
of rebuttal evidence presented by the
prosecution. The tilts became so heat
ed that on two occasions fines were
imposed on the arguing attorneys by
Judge Hill. Mrs. Hirach also showed
the strain -when she broke down while
William Candler, the Mayor's youngest
son, was on the stand. She cried and
talked aloud until quieted by a court
attache. ..
At the conclusion of the State's case
counsel for the defense announced bhej
had no witnesses on sur-rebuttal and
arguments were immediately begun.
