V this place and lodged in jail, charged with ravishing
ftrte white women, it Albany township. We did
not learn the full particulars .but from the fact he commit

buvc been meted out to him, on the nearest tree.
_0n Tuesday, he was brought before the court, and
after a bearing was sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
Bient in the peniteutiary.
