It seems that. during the war. or shortly
after its close. Berry. who was publishing
Q Copperhsad paper at Boonville, was
arrested BY Flstcber's militia. compelled
to confess himself Rebel. and then forced
to swallow the oath Of allegiance. and
probably put through some other
exercises for the benefit of his health.
For this " outrage" Berry sued Fletcher

result above stated. Berry subsequently
published the Wysndotte Democrat. and
since that defuncted. has been connected
