Junior

A Story of Murder and Betrayal

By: Jodi McDaniel Lowery

Eartha Kitt once said, "Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything." In Junior's story, one stepfather's greed causes a 21-year-old man to be murdered and had this man not been stopped, there would have also been the untimely death of three other people, his wife and her two younger children. "Junior" is the story of the death of 21-year-old Henry Ridley, Jr. His stepfather Earl Green hired two men to eliminate someone he saw as an obstacle. The two men, Bo Salmon and Teddy Bear Mulkey attempted multiple times to murder Junior. In a few short months, they tried numerous times to accomplish the task, attempting an overdose, hiring a sleepy accomplice, setting a car on fire with Junior inside and finally shooting him at close range. The other person who benefitted from Junior's death was his own mother who became $40,000 richer. Although many fingers were pointed in Margaret's direction including the fact her first husband, Junior's father, died under mysterious circumstances, she walked away a free woman.

Murder, Mayhem and Whitecapping

The Fall of the Northwest Georgia Whitecappers

By: Jodi McDaniel Lowery

Murder, Mayhem and Whitecapping is set in northwest Georgia 1894. It is the story of two men who were attacked by a group of whitecappers, men sworn by a blood oath to protect moonshiners, remove immoral people from their communities, but most of all to protect their own. The area of northwest Georgia had a membership of 800-1000 men. Henry Worley, a whitecapper himself, turns on his brotherhood, and manages to survive the hangman's noose but a week later is shot and killed by men he once called friends. A few months later, William Roper, who has been turning in moonshiners for a profit, finds himself a target as well. He is attacked in the middle of the night by whitecappers, who shoot him and leave him for dead in an abandoned copper pit. After six days, he is rescued from the pit and eventually testifies in federal court against his attackers. The federal government would eventually charge 30+ men, many of them prominent individuals in the county, with conspiracy. These two trials, as well as subsequent pleas, would eventually lead to the demise of the whitecappers in northwest Georgia. The trials would be covered extensively by The Atlanta Constitution. It along with federal court transcripts, essays on moonshining and whitecapping, and other historical references, serve as sources for this historical, nonfiction book.

Eula

The First Woman in Georgia to Be Sentenced to the Electric Chair

By: Jodi McDaniel Lowery

Eula was born an Elrod but used several last names during her tumultuous life, some legally, others questionable. Although few considered Eula "drop dead gorgeous," she used her female wit and wiles to persuade men to do her bidding. She was accused of bootlegging (illegally transporting moonshine from Tennessee to Georgia), robbery, conspiracy, bigamy, running a house of prostitution, and murder-all before she was 25 years old. Eula's father reportedly told a relative that he thought that Eula was the meanest woman who ever lived in Murray County. She was the first woman in Georgia sentenced to die in the electric chair, at a time before Murray County even had electric service. Governor Hardman personally involved himself in Eula's murder cases. Newspapers across America printed stories about this rebellious woman's exploits and legal entanglements.

The Youngest Woman Sentenced to Georgia's Death Row

By: Jodi McDaniel Lowery

Imagine waking up one morning at the age of 18 and realizing that you have just become the youngest woman in Georgia awaiting the electric chair. Just hours after her birth, Janice Buttrum was sold by her prostitute mother to an alcoholic couple who raised her in squalor. Janice soon found herself a product of the foster care system. At the age of 15, she married her knight in shining armor, 26-year-old Danny Buttrum, and quickly became the victim of domestic abuse. Janice began a descent into the abyss that eventually would lead to her and Danny stabbing a young woman to death in a hotel room, while their own 19-month-old daughter watched the carnage unfold. Janice was convicted of murder in 1981 in the city of Dalton, Georgia-the youngest woman sentenced to death in the state. She has spent 36 years behind bars-including ten years on Georgia's death row, and for five of those years, she was the sole prisoner. Now, after all this time, Janice may soon have the opportunity at life outside of prison.
