There is more to come on this story. The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, Jan. 24, 1896 Delk Is In Limbo He Was Re-Captured Last Saturday He Is Held For Murder He is Charged With the Murder of an Old Man In Meriwether Three weeks ago an account of an attempt at highway robbery and the subsequent arrest and escape of the notorious Taylor Delk appeared in these columns. About one month ago two parties broke into the house of Messrs. Cicero and Ab Connally, two old bachelors living just across the line of Pike in Meriwether county. The two old gentleman were severely beaten and since then one of them has died from the effect of the wounds received. It was supposed that the parties were seeking money that the Connallys were said to have hoarded, but none was found. Taylor Delk and a young man of bad reputation by the name of Langford, were suspected, and Taylor [Delk] was arrested, charged with murder. Delk was accompanied by the bailiff to the house of a friend, where Delk proposed to give bond. While on this trip Delk made a dash for liberty and made good his escape. Since that time he has been lurking around his old haunts and has eluded every attempt to arrest him. Saturday morning, a bailiff from Coweta county, heard that Delk was in the neighborhood of Senoia. He hastened to Senoia for help. Accompanied by marshall Reeves, [they] set out on the hunt. A few miles from Senoia the officers espied Delk in the road ahead of them and discovered at once he carried a shotgun. They drove on leisurely and finally overtook him before he discovered their identity. The officers covered him with their pistols before he could offer resistance. He went to Senoia without trouble, but when the officers prepared to handcuff him before starting for Meriwether county they had no easy job. Delk swore vengeance. He was lodged in the Meriwether county jail, where he now awaits trial on the charge of murder. Langford, his accomplice, has not been found by the officers. Some novelist ought to form Delks acquaintance. He would score a big hit as the arch villain in a detective story. (Transcribed 11/17/02 Lynn Cunningham)
