On November 7th, 1919, Bartow Grover Nix, was hanged for a double murder in Columbus, Georgia. And those weren't the only people he had killed. Like many great tragedies, the story is not as clear-cut as it would seem on paper. Questions continue concerning the prosecution of this case. Was it done properly? Was Nix even sane? Nearly a century later, Bartow's great nephew, Jeffrey Nix, reviewed the case with the fresh eyes and understanding of the present generation. What he found lead to this compelling tale about the trials and tribulations of his infamous relative, and the nature of southern justice itself in the early 20th century.
