William S. Parkerson
AVilliam S, Parkerson, the man who issued the cali for the lynchers in New Orleans, is only 34 years old, is exactly six feet tall, heavily built, his head is large and round, his forehead broad, his hair brown and parted on one side, his eyes are intensely black quiet enough in repose, but snapping fire in moments of excitement. The most striking thing about him is his deep voice. Mr. Parkerson is a lawyer and a great favorite with those who know him well. He lives with a sick wife and three children in a modern house on the outskirts of New Orleans. His popularity was attested in 1883 when he was made the leader of a body of young men who upset the ring, democracy, which ruled the city. He holds no office himself having refused city attorney when elected by the reformers.
