Coffee Break
Neither the murdered man nor the defendant
lived in Chattooga County but this didn’t keep Chat
toogans from being intensely interested in the trial
underway this week in Summerville.
People packed the courtroom and stood outside
after the judge ordered no standing in the courtroom.
Many teenagers were among the spectators each day.
Monday was a school holiday but some students ad
mitted skipping school Tuesday and Wednesday to
see the drama unfolding in the courtroom. One youth
said his mother wanted him to watch “and learn
something from this”. At least one Chattooga High
class, accompanied by a teacher, sat in on the pro
ceedings Wednesday morning for a while.
• fl fl ♦ fl
You wondered about this unusual interest among
the teens.
The attorney for the younger defendant told
the jurors that he has a 16-year-old son himself, hav
ing adopted him when the child was only eight days
of age. He pointed out that his son told him the other
day: “Dad, since you’ve taken this case, I’ve learned
a lesson. I can see why you are so strict about the
company I keep. The wrong corripany can get you in
a lot of trouble.”
fl fl fl fl
This was the attorney’s 33rd time to defend a
person charged with murder. “And I think it’ll be my
last,” he said. Much of his work was done while in the
U. S. Army from which he retired with the rank of
colonel. The attorney admitted that he has never
lost a case to the electric chair.
fl fl fl fl
You thought during the trial about the heart
break of the mothers involved-the one who wore black
and now faced the task of bringing up four children
alone, and the one who wore a cross about her neck
and carried one as well as she watched the youngest
of her three sons go to trial for his life. And another
mother was on the sidelines waiting to see her son go
to trial for murder.

The trials are probably being more widely cov
ered by the news media than any event in Chattooga
County history. The front row of seats in the court
room were reserved by Judge Robert Coker for the
press and on hand have been representatives of two
Atlanta dailies, two Chattanooga dailies, the Rome
daily, and several television and radio stations. Among
those back in the home county covering the trials for
their newspapers are Tom Greene, formerly of Trion,
now of The Atlanta Journal, and Tommy Toles, for
merly of Menlo, now of The Rome News-Tribune.
Charles Graves, until recently press aide for Con
gressman John Davis of Summerville, was also on
hand covering the event for the Rome radio station
with which he is now associated.
♦ » * »
Like all crime, this one is not only costing heart
break but it is also costing dollars-dollars of Chat
tooga County taxpayers. The .county will bear the
brunt of the expense and some observers say it will
run into thousands of dollars.
She is the sister of John C.
Groover, of Summerville
Route 3.
Mr. Maxey was a member
of the 1962 Chattooga High
graduating class and is now
employed at Georgia Rug
Mill. He is the brother of
Misses Anneli and Cathryn
Maxey, Mrs. Frances Holt,
Mrs. Ophelia Brooks, Johnny
and Ricky Maxey, all of
Summerville; Dewey Maxey
Jr., Rome; and Ralph
Maxey, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Both the bride and groom
plan to attend Coosa Valley

ers. Interest grew and others
