James Copeland



Copeland's Arrest

He loitered his time away until the spring of 1849 when he went to a grocery store near Mobile, Ala. And had been drinking a great deal and this time he became intoxicated very much. While in the state he imagined every man he met was trying to arrest him. He had a difficulty with a man and he drew his double barrel shot gun upon him, but the man was too quick for him. He was stabbed, then he ran again, but the sheriff tracked him by the blood and brought him back to Mobile jail. Then he had an indictment in Mobile for larceny and another warrant against him in Perry County, Miss for murder.
