Atlanta Constitution, 16 April 1896
Death In A Courtroom.
A. T. Latty Died From Apoplexy at Carnesville.
Was Summoned as a Juror and Death Struck Him While He Was Sitting in a Chair.

Carnesville, Ga., April 15-
A. T. Latty, a prominent farmer who lived about six miles below  town, died 
today about 1 o'clock in the justice courtroom at Cannon, Ga., during the trial 
of a case.  He was summoned as a juryman, but had been stricken from the case 
and was sitting in the courtroom listening to the trial, and spoke to Colonel 
J. A. Neese about the case.  In a few minutes he was heard snoring.  When 
Colonel Neese raised his head up he was dying and expired in a few seconds.  
His death was no doubt caused by apoplexy.  He was a good citizen, leaves a 
large family and will be greatly missed.  The sudden death created a panic in 
the courtroom.  The proceedings were suspended and court adjourned, ending the 
trial.
