years in the pente ntiary. AS is known,
/ Whitaker is the negro who was tried IN
the Superior Court for the murder OF Will
! lam DrakefOrd, the trial occupying
! more than three days. the jury, alter
being out about an hour, returned
a verdict OF voluntary manslaughter.

had been pronounced. 1t is more than
probable that the case will be carried to

"white lady gave Chap Elliott"
