The trtial took place in an open square in the center of "the town. Strtcklamd, the accused, was sixty-years of age. There was no judge or jury, the people 'acting in those capac ities. Many witnesses were on the stand. One, a negro, who lived on Strickland's place, testified to the good character of the minister, but several neighbors gave anything but favorable reports.

A great many speeches were made. At 1 o'clock no decision had been arrived at, but dt was decided to adjourn the "court" to the woods, 1-mlle out of town. The' sober element made an effort to save the negro's neck, as there was no evidence against him besides the statement made 'by the negro Hose. The statement made by Hose was not believed. Stkckland denied alj knowledge of complicity, in the crhrie.
