Amusing Georgia Trial Tale and Quips From Uncle Culver

The defendant Ben Sutton, described as a trifling Black man, is pressed about his income and fixed funds. The tale includes Ben’s unexpected assertion of a steady, fixed income drawn from occasional handouts on election days, plus a string of local quips and unrelated items from the era.
