"The Carroll County Times" :
Carrollton, Carroll Co., Georgia

NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 5, 1878 
 
From "The Franklin News" we copy the following from its report of the 
proceedings of Heard Superior Court. The case taken up was the State vs. Rob't 
M. Huckaba, J.L. Huckaba and J.K. Adamson, voluntary manslaughter, charged 
with the killing of John W. Craven on the 23rd of Dec. 1876. R.M. Huckeba was 
first put on trial. The defendant plead "not guilty", relying on 
Justification, that if he did stab the decedant, he did it when the life of 
his brother J.L. Huckeba was in eminent danger at the hand of the deceased. 
The jury found the defendant R.M. Huckeba "not guilty". Sol. Gen. Harris and 
C.W. Mabry for the state; Cox and Merrill and F.S. Loftin for the defendant. 
The Sol. Gen. consented that the other two defendants take a verdict of not 
guilty.
