Murder of Frank Preston

By 1870, Frank Preston was a waiter at one of the University boarding houses. On Jan 3/4, 1870, in Charlottesville, Virginia Frank would steal an apple Bill/Willie Twine's waiter and ran. In response, Bill chased Frank and stabbed him in the left side of his abdomen. This would result in Frank passing hours later. Bill would flee.

I could not find much information in this case. Both were referred to as boys in one article. I could not find if Bill/Willie had been caught.
