From the Sentinel, December %:
The jury in the case OF Randall Felton,
charged with the murder of an old colored
man named Wilson Graham, on the nine
teenth of October last, brought in YER
dict of Guilty without capital punish
ment." On Saturday, December eighteen,
the last day of the term of the district
court, Randall was ordered by the Judge
to be brought into court for the purpose of
receiving his sentence. 1t was almost dark
when the prisoner entered in charge of the
officers, and it was noticed by those who
were present at the time that he was bare
footed, and, as one gentleman remarked,
stripped for race" He bore himself
oopposedly until the Judge had delivered
the sentence, when he cast his eyes restless
ly about the room, seeming to be watching
for an opportunity to escape. Passing the
window he made slight move toward it
as if with the intention of risking an es'
cape in that direction, but quickly
banished the idea, and passed out
peacesbly with the officers, Deputy Sheriff

as far down as has been heard from, and
though not as thick as it is above, is strong
