The\n         collection also includes nine scrapbooks primarily containing\n         newspaper clippings, and dating from 1882 to 1926. One of the\n         scrapbooks deals with the trial of ex- \n          Charlottesville mayor \n          Samuel McCue for the murder of his wife\n         (at which \n          Micajah Woods was the prosecuting\n         attorney).

The\n         collection also includes nine scrapbooks primarily containing\n         newspaper clippings, and dating from 1882 to 1926. One of the\n         scrapbooks deals with the trial of ex- \n          Charlottesville mayor \n          Samuel McCue for the murder of his wife\n         (at which \n          Micajah Woods was the prosecuting\n         attorney).
