The Un1f-~J ed State Supreme Court in a decision handed down here IVSonclay dismis?eci " an appeal of Arthur Meyers of Augusta. convicted in 1927 of the murder of a white man in Cum County. Meyers' appeal to the United States Supreme Court was based on a contention that he had been convicted after the passage of the law providing elec. . electrocuted since the electrocution death penalty. Meyers was indicted for killing a railroad switchman in 1924, before the electrocution law -?went into effect.
