TRIAL OF j. X. HAYWARD, OF MASS.
On the 18th inst, Mr. Hayward was ar
raigned before the Mayor for melting riots
among the people of Richmond.
Part of the witnesses for the Common
wealth were examined and the case contin-
ued
Mr. Hayward claims that really he was
cOunselling his hearers to refrain from VIC
lence On the occasion that he spoke the
audience was very much excited and his
allusion to holding high carnival when
Judge Underwood should leave Richmond.
meant a rejoicing for their new privileges of
sitting on federal juries, riding in street cars,
and the like.
On examination W. W. Wade, of the En-
an1iaer, testified as follows:
He reached the church after the meeting had
commenced, and he suggested to d.. Brock
to get notes from Mr. Cowardin, the Dis
patch reporter, while he would report what
Hayward had to say The first part of the
speech he did not pay much attention to-
He only noticed that he was about to speak
of the blacks as negroes, but he corrected
himself before he had gotten the word more
than half way out Of his mouth. Witness
head him caution the audience against vio-
lence while their white friends are in the city
and ask them if they would enClanger the
life of the "illustrious" Underwood. He
also said, "When he leaves, you may
bold high carnival, and do what YOU
please" A reporter near by suggested that
those words ought to be placed in "capi-
tails; and witness SO marked them. Wit
ness corrobOratcd the report made by Mr..
Cowardin, and would swear to his own;
Which he then read. THE report was in
substance, and in some instances in word,
like that in the DiSpntcA.] Witness was
southern man. He did not agree with Hay
wood as to the negro being better than a
white man as general thing, though he
knew great many negroes whom he
thought better than some white men,
Thought Hayward's speech decidedly in
fammatory. Witness thought that if any
difficulty occurred Mr.. Hayward would be
found in Bosting," or some place far away
from Richmond
]. W. Hunnicutt, testified as follows:
He heard Hayward say that he hoped no
violence would be offered Judge Under
wood: and if it was, he hoped the colored
people would stand by him and protect
HIM. Witness heard him say that after
Underwood left, they might hold high car
nival. Did not think he meant ANYTHING by
this. He thought he meant that they should
hold high carnival on account of the glo-
rious reaction that had taken place. He
meant by glorious reaction, the granting of
the privilege of suffrage and the right to
serve upon the Grand Jury: after so many
years of oppression.
This trial of Hayward is quite commen-
tary on the jubilee over the release of Davis.
Mr.. Hayward was held to bail in 81 900
to answer for the alleged offense.
