Athens Man Takes
Another to Court
And Lands in Jai
in Jail
e
Loyd Culbertson, 134 Elbert
street, who landed in jail himself
last Saturday when he hailed an
other person intg justice court,
w}as ordered released by Judge H.
= ’l‘iuck this afternoon,
Culbertson alleged in a habeas
corpus hearing before Judge Tuck
that he was ‘“illegally” jmprison
ed,
Culbertson’s trouble began when
-he attemtped to prosecute his sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Charles (Dorothy)
Vincent. Mr. Vincent ig Mrs. Cul
bertson’s brother, and the l?'tam
ilies formerly lived in the"® same
house. Culbertson claims that Mrs.
Vincent recently assaulted his wife,
going so far as te throw ‘“‘a large
piece of pipe metal.”
He sought to put Mrs. Vincent
under a peace bond for fear she
might injure Mrs. Culbertson, who
he sayg ig ill, while he was away
from home.
On July 27, Culbertson had Jus
tica of the Feace George Burpee to
issue a peace warrant against Mrs.
Vincent but on August 3, which
was last Saturday, when the case
was tried before the justice, Cul
bertson was unSuccessful in sus
taining his charges and was put in
jail himself for ‘“‘malicious” prose
cution and failure to pay the 'costs
of the case.
Finding himself in jail, without
money to pay the court costs of
his unsuccessful legal venture, Cul
bertson through his attorneys, W.
T. Ray and Shackelford and Shack
elford, filed a writ of habeas cor
pus, and Judge Tuck ordered the
sheriff to produce the person of the
imprisoned man for a hearing to
day. Culbertson claims he is “ille
gally restrained of his liberty.”
He says when his case against
Mrs. Vincent flopped (the petition
uses a legal expression to describe
the event), the justice ordered Bai
liff George Nash to arest him for
malicious prosecution and then
entered the charge upen the rec
ord, The justice further ordered
Culbertson to pay the court costs,
about nine dollars, so the petitioner
asserts, and when he couldn’t. pro
duce the ecash he was .confined in
jail, where he has been held “ar
bitrarily,” “without bail,’* “illegally
and without auhtority.” .
