Murder of Luke Crawford

 On December 15, 1873, in Calhoun County, Georgia, Bill Roseman (black) killed Luke Crawford (black) by shooting him with a musket. Bill would claim that Luke owed him money. 

Bill would be tried and found guilty. He was hung on January 29, 1875. 

I could not find much information on this case.
