A New Trial for Delk

Judge Beck heard the motion for a new trial in Taylor Delk’s case in Atlanta 
Monday.

Delk has been twice tried and convicted of killing our noble sheriff, but both 
times has been granted a new trial on technicalities. Affidavits were produced 
Monday showing that Sheriff Gwyn was a 4th cousin of J.H. Shackleford, one of 
the jurors that sat on the case, which was sufficient ground to grant a new 
trial, which was done.

The case will not be heard before the March term, and of course Tom [Delk] will 
get a respite, as he is an important witness.
