Description
“Rape.” - - Abe Chestnut, a negro, was arrested on Wednesday evening for committing a rape upon the person of his step daughter, Tilda Roots. As we go to press the case is being tried before Esquire Berry, and from the evidence adduced, we presume that Abe will be bound over for trial in the Circuit Court, and in due time will he sent to the Penitentiary, where he ought to have been for many years. He is a drunken vagabond, and we hope he will now get his desserts.Date(s) of Creation
