Langford

Zebulon, Ga. July 19. - Tom Langford, the third member of the Delk outlaw gang and the long missing link in the trial of the individual desperadoes for the murder of Sheriff Gwyn, which occurred at Concord, in this county, in April, 1896, was safely landed in jail here yesterday after by sheriff J. W. Milner and Deputy P. M. Sullivan of Pike county, who went to Arkansas, where he was arrested, for him.

Langford says Tom Delk fired the first shot on that fatal night and that shot killed Gwyn and states there was no shooting done by the posse until Gwyn was shot down.  He will not state now what part Taylor Delk took in the affair, but will tell the truth, he says, at the proper time, just as it happened.

As a matter of fact, however, Langford stated on his way here that Taylor Delk was not in the house at the time of the shooting.

Langford has not yet employed counsel, but says he will take steps at an early date to secure the same
