Sheriff Nelms Under Fire Over Williams Release
Criticism mounts in Fulton and Clarke counties over Sheriff Nelms who released Williams on bond despite Clarke warrants.

In other news, John Batiste, a negro tailor, was shot by Derricotte near the Sea Board Air Line depot. Batiste died, and Derricotte faces murder charges as liquor fueled the incident.
