Butts County Progress September 1909
IDE PRICE KILLED BY W. CARGYLE SUNDAY
Taken to Atlanta on Monday

Prominent Young Man Is Shot to Death in Jasper County And His Alleged Slayer 
Taken to Atlanta For Safekeeping.

Ide Price, a prominent citizen of Jasper county, was shot and killed by 
Woodford Cargyle on Sunday afternoon.

The shooting took place just across the Ocmulgee river on the Jasper county 
side.  Price was shot three times, it said, twice in the body and once in the 
face.

The killing is said to have been without provocation and appears to have been 
a cold blooded flair.  Just what led up to the shooting is not known.  It 
appears that the shooting was done with a pistol belonging to a Mr. Kelly who 
was present at the time..

The killing took place at the store or sawmill of J. F. Malone.   After the 
shooting Cargyle ran off and was shot at three or four times.  He made his 
escape, however and was arrested here on Monday.

When taken in custody Cargyle is said to have been drunk.  He came to town 
early Monday and visited one of the barber shops after which he made his way 
to the depot preparatory to taking the morning train..  His plans were broken 
into when he was arrested by Sheriff W. W. Wilson.

The feeling over the killing of Price was high in Jasper county where he is 
well and favorably known.  It was considered unsafe to attempt to take the 
prisoner back to Monticello and he was taken to Atlanta Monday night for 
safekeeping.

Cargyle was recently acquitted of the murder of a negro at a church.
