his talher up and came down stairs,

Some time last year negro named
James Copeland was sent to the peni
Tertiary from Suffolk for an assault on

COPELAND IN order to keep the authori.
ties OIL of him, writes letter, dates it
Portsmouth, Va, April LIST, 1895, and
gives 1t to IA negro sailor and requested
him to mail it at Barbadoes in The
West Indies. 1t was directed to Jailpr
Siverson OF the county and in B he
makes threats about what he intends to
do when he returns. This liz all bluff.
Copeland did that to keep the Buthori.

soon have him III the arms of the law,
as he knows that he was in Portsmouth

The officers will be on the lookout
