Alabama state pending trial in Georgia for a gang leader
The man faces trial in Georgia after an Alabama examining justice committed him for the next county Supreme Court. He reportedly admitted plundering Mr Elliott and others and stealing his slaves, but denied murders other than in battle. He was present at Shepherds Turners and the Fort Jones attack. Strong guard was used due to great public excitement. Col Rockwell plans to pursue and arrest identifiable participants with intent to bring them to trial.
