James Radhey Released From Gus
tody in Laurens.
Dublin, Ca, Aug. S.-James Radney,
who was arrested for the murder of
Charles Price Friday afternoon last,
has been released, the evidence going
to show that he acted entirely In self
defense. The killing was done on the
public highway dividing Laurens and
johnson counties. Radney stood in the
center Of the road when he fired the
shot which killed Price. The dead man
was on the Johnson county side of the
road when shot, but died on the Lau-
rens county side. All of the parties
lived in johnson county, and decided
to try the case in that county, al
though Radney could legally have been
tried in Laurens county. Price for sew
eral days had been on a drunken spree
and had run his wife, sister of RAD
ney, from his home. Radney went back
with her to see that she came to- no
harm. This incensed Price, who swore
that he would kill Radney. Later in the
day Radney and a companion passed
where Price lived, and the latter see
ing Radney advanced upon him with
knife. Radney called to him to stop,
and when he did not do so, fired at
him four times with a pistol. One shot
entered the arm of Price, another his
side and two went wild. Price then
grappled with Radney and cut him on
Thea arm Raciney then shot hihh in the
neck from which wound he died in a
few minutes.
Prices relatives are satisfied with
the release of Radney, they being of
the opinion that he could not have done
other than kill the man.

to collect sufficient tax from the people
to put every highway in the county in
first class condition. 1t is estimated by
the commissioners that $40, 900 each
year will be required to put the roads
in such condition as the Importance of
