Gastonia, March 1—Judge A.M. Stack today in Mecklenburg court, on habeas corpus proceedings, ordered the release of Ransom Killian and Joe Orr, charged with the murder of John Ford, under bond of $10,000 each.
The decision followed a conference with Solicitor John G. Carpenter, Attorney A.G. Mangum, representing Gaston county; Attorneys R.G. Cherry, T.L. Kirkpatrick and T.G. Guthrie, representing Joe Orr; Kemp Nixon representing Ransom Killiam; Ernest R. Warren and Clyde R. Hoey representing Arthur Crowder; and J. Frank Flowers, representing Effie Grice and Essie Beattie. The bonds were made and the defendants released. The two girls will probably be released on their own recognizance.
