Crawleys Surrender to Sheriff of Pike Yesterday Afternoon

J. M. and O.R. Crawley indicted Friday for killing W.M. Carden

J.M. and O.R. Crawley, both well known residents of Griffin, surrendered
themselves last night to Sheriff Harrison, of Pike County.  The grand jury 
of that county found a true bill against these two parties Friday, charging
them with the murder of W.M. Carden, at Milner last week.  Since the 
killing of Carden, officers have been searching for the two Crawleys, but
they could not be located.  It was said that they would surrender themselves
as soon as a true bill was found by the Pike grand jury.  Friday the bill of
indictment was found and Sheriff Harrison came over in Griffin yesterday
to locate the Crawleys.  Late in the day they surrendered and today will be 
lodged in the Pike county jail.  It is understood on the streets of Griffin 
that
they have employed counsel in Griffin and Zebulon and that they will ask 
for release under bond, claiming self defense in the shooting of Carden.  It 
will be remembered that Carden, while marshal at Milner, killed a brother
of the Crawleys some time ago.
