The Atlanta Georgian,

PAGE 6, COLUMN 2.

Rumor That He Will Get New Superior Court Judgeship Gains Ground.

That Judge L. S. Roan would be appointed to the new Superior Court Judgeship created by the last legislature within the next 80 days was the information Friday.

Although no interviews in regard to the appointment have been given out by Governor Slaton, and various rumors as to probable appointees have gone the rounds, the rumor concerning the appointment of Judge Roan is said to hit the mark squarely.

Those who are in close touch with the situation point out that the Governor has decided definitely to appoint Judge Roan, but that he has deferred action until the latter has completed his work in the Leo Frank case on or about October 4, when the motion for u new trial will be heard.

Should Judge Roan receive the appointment, which seems certain, Charles S. Reed, Solicitor of the Stone Mountain Circuit, probably will be named as his successor as judge of the Stone Mountain Circuit.

Mr. Reed has been Solicitor for several years, and is regarded as an able lawyer.

His home is in Palmetto, Campbell County.
