patches asking that troops be has
tened to Cocoanut Grove, near here
last week 1t was said that the white
race in that section was in danger OF

Seven automobile loads of Miami
policemen, armed to the teeth were
rushed to the scene. All available
ex-service men in the community were
placed under arms, and sworn in as
deputies.
Upon arriving at Cocoanut Grove,
it was found that the Rev. r. II.
Higgs, an evangelist, was conducting
revival services there. The excite

WINCHESTER, Va, July To
be almost forcibly compelled to leave
a convict road force, where he was
serving a seventeen-year sentence for
a murder he is alleged to have com
mitted in Newport News, was the
experience today of Ralph Whiting,
colorcd, a model prisoner, who was
set al liberty at the expiration Of
eleven years and ten months. During
that time his wages remained the
same, 10 cents day and he took
away with him sos, representing the
savings OF the years he was prisoner.
With tears streaming down his
checks, Whiting took sad leave OF the
camp. Once he stopped on his way
to Winchester. and probably would
have returned had it not been for a
friend accompanying him. Captain
Jackson, State officer in charge OF the
big camp. said Whiting was one OF
the best prisoners with whom he ever
had had dealings, and Whiting was
loud in his praise OF the officer
The killing for which Whiting was
given seventeen-year term is said to
have been unprecedented, and to
have occurred during fight among
men and women at Newport News. A
woman was his victim.
