Jackson Argus –Butts County October 15, 1897
In Pike superior court last week C. J. Haden, attorney for Taylor Delk,, made 
an elaborate pleas for change of venue.  He seemed somewhat surprised when 
Solicitor Bloodworth did not resist his motion.   Accordingly Judge Beck asked 
the lawyers to agree upon what county they would have the trial in, but they 
said any old county except Pike, so the Judge said he would put it in Henry 
county and set it for the fourth Monday in this month.

Then the judge sprang another surprise.  “Now,” said Judge Beck, “I have been 
considering this matter for some time, and I have concluded that in order that 
the defense may have no further ground for complaint, it shall have a new judge 
as well as new list of jurors.  I have spoken to Judge John S. Candler and he 
has kindly agreed to preside in the case.”  As Judge Candler has already 
succeeded during his brief term of office, in establishing a reputation for 
convicting every man for murder that comes before him against whom a case can 
possibly be made out, the defense has gotten out of the frying pan into the 
fire.
