Jackson Argus
Hardy Lindsey – Dead
Wiley Redding, a negro who killed another negro named Hardy Lindsey, over in 
Griffin last Saturday, in a quarrel over ten cents, was arrested last Sunday 
night by Sheriff J. M. Crawford and Chief of Police L. M. Crawford seven miles 
from Jackson, out in the Iron Springs district.  They spotted him in hiding in 
John Tanner’s barn, and learned that he had a double barreled breach loading gun 
with him, but by taking their time and slipping up on him, a pistol was in his 
face and he was caught before he suspected anyone was around.  Sheriff Crawford 
carried him to Griffin Tuesday, and received the $100 reward which had been 
offered for his capture.  Redding is said to be a very desperate character.  He 
plead guilty Thursday and Judge Reagan sentenced him for life.
