Try Our Job | Printing VOL. 65; NO. 28 Lyons Arrested After Marietta Collision A Cobb County Grand Jury will investigate an incident in which attempted assault and battery charges were made against Chattooga County Sheriff Reuben Lyons Friday, it was disclosed this week by Solicitor General James T. Manning. Manning said there are “other angles” to the matter but he refused to elaborate. Lyons was released on a S3OO bond following his arrest by Cobb County sheriff W. W. Watkins, on a warrant sworn out by W. H. Davis, of Marietta Route 3, who said the sheriff threatened “to kill” him, and slapped and kicked him. He also stated that Lyons “had his hand on his revolver” while making threats. The incident occured follow ing a collision between Lyons and James Cook, of Murphy, N. C., in front of Davis’ service station on the four-lane high way near Marietta. Davis said he went out “to lend a helping hand” when Lyons made threats. The sheriff and Deputy Ed mond Kerce were returning from Milledgeville. He and Mrs. Lyons were in Florida vacationing this week and comment from him on the matter was unavailable. However, he was quoted as stat ing Friday night that he “knew nothing of the occurrence after the accident,” adding that the only contact he had with Cobb County officers was when he had the Murphy youth’s car attached. Deputy Kerce said this week that it was “all settled” and that Cook was paying for the damage to the sheriff’s automo bile. The sheriff allegedly skid ded into Cook’s truck when the North Carolina youth attempted to turn off the highway. Kerce stated further that he didn’t “know anything” about the altercat^n which Davis says happened between himself and the sheriff. “They don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said, “If there was any trouble it happened be tween me and that fellow not the sheriff."
