Madison, Ga., Sept. 1 3. ? Unless ?John 1'otris, John Morakis and Nick Morakis got relief through an appeal of which they gave notice this after noon, they will spend the remainder of their lives in prison ,f?*r the mur der of Jim Morakis, whose, dead. body was found near Columbia on the morning of June. 14. The trial of the three Greeks for the deauh of one of their own nationality was commenced yesterday morning. The case went to the. jury at lo o'clock this morning and a verdict returned late this after noon. The theory of the State was that Jim Morakis was killed at some place other than Columbia and his body taken to the South Carolina city in an automobile. C. 10. Elder, chief <>f police of Mad ison, worked hard on the case, mak ing more than one trip to South Car olina to investigate the murder. He testified at the trial, being one of the state's principal witnesses. Several Columbians testified and the testi mony of others, taken at the tjme of the preliminary hearing, was read. The three convicted men were rep resented by strong counsel, two of the leading members of the Madison bar, Albert Foster and Green John son' being their attorneys. For the state were Doyle Campbell and Miller Wood. The last named lawyer made a trip to Columbia to investigate the case, as did both attorneys for the defendants. r The body of Jim Morakis was found in a pasture, near Columbia, just off the Two Notch road near the homes of J. Clifton Rivers and H. J. Bass ler. The man was identified by pa pers and a bank book in his pocket. His head was crushed and a bullet hole was in his ear. A pistol was found stuck muzzle down in the ground near the dead man's feet: ? Springs Mills in Merger Organization.

SHOOTING DOVE8. Federal I.,w? MTkTTt" Awkw.rd Fur i I'Mmont Sportsmen. The constitutionality of the South Carolina ntatute prohibiting the shoot ing of doves for m period of five years except in Berkeley county is H ques tion that must be finally decided by' the court*, Assistant Attorney (Jener. I ?l John M. Daniel has informed a number of inquirers, lie Maid, how ever, that hi- called attention to pmv dents set by the state supreme court i?i similar cases, whereby the court might pronounce the act constitution al except as to the proviso applying t>0 Berkeley county, with the result that the legal prohibition would be effect ive throughout the stat. The point has been raised, Mr. Dan- ! iel said, that the act, which was pass ed at the 11)21 session of the general assembly, nV^h rendered special legis lation and therefore unconstitutional by the proviso near the end which de clared in effect "that nothing contain ed in this act shall apply to Berkeley county." Declining to pass upon tho consti tutionality of the act himself, the as sistant attorney general said that the act, as written would be a complete law it the Berkeley county exemption proviso were eliminated. The supreme court has held, he continued, that a proviso in an act may be unconstitu tional in itself and consequently in operative without affecting the valid ity of the entire act, provided the act stands complete after the elimination of the proviso. Mr. Daniel, at the request of Chief Game Warden A. A. Richardson, has expressed the opinion that huntsmen in South Carolina must observe the dates set by tho Federal game laws for the shooting of doves, although those dates give a more restricted season than is allowed under the state law. The state law contains a pro vision requiring that all Federal reg ulations be complied with, he said, which makes violation of the Federal law also violation of the state law and renders the violator subject to trial in both the Federal and state courts, The state law. prescribes from Au- j gust l f> to March 1 as the open season ' for doves, but under the Federal regu lations the birds can be legally shot only between November 1 and Janu ary -51, it was stated.
