Webb Killed by John Smith in Self Defense
On Thursday June 19 George W Webb was killed in his yard in the Ninth district near Bowdon. Neighbor John Smith claims self defense after a buckshot shot from a shotgun. Smith and his 18 year old son stayed with the body until authorities arrived. A preliminary hearing found insufficient cause for grand jury indictment, a new warrant issued, and Smith remained jailed. Webb, about forty, left a wife and nine children away from home at the time.
