Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger July 19, 1888 GALLIA Joseph Drouillard, who served in Captain Stockton's company, Third United States Infantry, in the war of 1812, is still living in Gallipolis. His age is 94. Last Saturday morning Nora McQuaid the sixteen-year-old daugter (sic) of Perry McQuaid, a poor man living just above Gallipolis, was attacked by a negro brute while hoeing in her father's truck patch, near their home, and brutally outraged. The fiend came out of a corn patch behind her and threw his coat over her head and thus stifled her cries. Accomplishing his purpose he took to the woods. Inside of an hour officers and a posse were in pursuit, but up to our latest advices at the time of writing this he had not been caught, but he is very sure to be and almost especially sure to be hanged by the indignant citizens when he is. Since the foregoing was in type the black accursdral (sic), who proves to be one William Frenaro, alias Wm. Hanna, was arrested at Point Pleasant, West Va. where he is held in jail till the public excitement at Gallipolis cools down.
