Release of Bishop marshal after committal trial
The committal trial of Marshal J. D. Sterling of Bishop for the murder of Andrew Price of Oconee county ended with Sterling released by the justices of the peace. A crowded Watkinsville court heard the case presented by Solicitor General Thornton Tribble and Judge Geom Co Thonts, with Wolver M. Smith for the state and defense. Evidence was thorough on both sides. the defendant admitted shooting Price, claiming self defense as Price allegedly threatened him while advancing. The state argued Price held a gun but was not about to shoot. the court released Sterling after argument and deliberation.
