Transcription Notes:
I'm unsure of what comes after "Lauderdale" on the first line. (Answer: its Bu. for Bureau,) I'm unsure if the word is "rewarded" on the 7th line (Answer: its remanded) Jno is short for John 3/31 - transcribed - pls review ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-31 18:21:41 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-01 13:38:50 Several spelling errors found, changed a few abbreviations and spacing. LAURENCE, MISS, not LAWRENCE.
