Stanly News-Herald
Tom Drake, who has been held in the county jail here charged with being a party to the murder of “Dad” Watkins, was set free Monday morning. Solicitor Smith made a motion that the court release Drake on the grounds of insufficient evidence which was so ordered by Judge R.R. Ingram.
Drake has been held here for several weeks on the charge of being mixed up with the murder of “Dad” Watkins. John Gray, it will be remembered, was bound over to the Superior Court here last Monday upon the charge of the Watkins murder.
