Noted Criminal Trials
In 1840, Wm. Grizzle was tried on a change of venue from Pulaski County. He was indicted and found guilty of murder in the first degree and Sheriff Smith erected a scaffold for his execution in the hollow, between the hills, a short distance south of Mr. E. S. Drake's house. A large concourse of people gathered to witness the execution, and the prisoner was on the scaffold, when a commutation by the Grovernor to imprisonment in the Penitentiary was produced.
Cholera
CHOLERA. The year 1849 is notable for the prevalence of cholera at Warsaw. In June of that year James Blakey and William Peak returned from the South, where they had taken a drove of horses. On June 6th, Mr. Blakey, who was the husband of Mrs. Sarah B. Blakey, still liviog at Warsaw, was attacked with cholera, and died the next day.
