Century-old Georgia murder tale linked to Monroe money and circumstantial evidence
Reverend George B. Culpepper recounts a 1844 crime at Peddy's Tavern with suspects including two Wiley Peddy men and a drinker, while a distant oak near Talbotton holds a lone grave. The narrative links Monroe Railroad Money to the case and questions reliance on circumstantial evidence, recalling Albert Murdock’s execution and past confessions.

Son of Posey Hopes His Father's Mantle Will Fall On Him
Moultrie June 4 C H Posey Jr son of the famed clairvoyant who died at his home May 28 says he hopes to carry on his father's work though he has not felt the gift stir yet. He recalls his father guiding people to lost items and solving cases, noting the mantle did not transfer immediately to his predecessor either. He cites past cases including the Lindbergh kidnapping and a murder-suicide investigation where his father aided in capture and publicizing details. Posey hopes to develop the gift to help as many people as his father did while reflecting on riches and spiritual worth.
