speaking on Monroe Roberson, the only person ever hung in Darke
County. Bill Stevens has written articles for the Advocate and

began. He has written several newspaper stories on Roberson and
after lengthy research, he has written a book on the subject. To

history than Bill. Bill is a 21-year veteran of the Air
