Middle Ga Argus
Smith – Hinnant
Released For Want of Prosecution

Two young white men, Minor Smith and b. J. Hinnant, formerly of this county 
were arrested by detective J. H. Wilson on Friday at Empire Georgia, charged 
with breaking into and setting fire to Mr. A. H. Price’s store at Cork some 
weeks ago.  They were brought to Jackson and placed in the county jail.

On yesterday they were taken before Justice J. H. Ham for preliminary trial, 
but the prosecutors failing to appear the case were dismissed and the young men 
are free again.  We learn that on the night of the burning these young men were 
at their boarding house in Empire and that the keepers of the boarding house 
will testify to these facts.
