Jackson Argus June 18, 1897
Old Taylor Delk, the notorious villain who was the inspiration, the head and 
front of Sheriff Gwen’s assignation , has been again found guilty of murder, 
and on last Thursday in Pike Superior court he was sentenced to be hanged July 
30.

It is said that Attorney Harden will ask for a new trial and in case his motion 
is denied will carry the case again to the Supreme Court.

This may be true.  Mr. Harden may exhaust his ingenuity and his energy but 
until justice becomes one of the lost arts in law such infamous assassins will 
be in danger, and the faith we have in mankind impels us to watch with interest 
the coils and the toils of justice as they are tightening around this arch  
fiend.
