TRIAL OF a CIVIL RIGHTS CASE AT HAIR
| RIsoNBURG-HUNG JURY.-Much interest has
| been felt in this community over the indict-
ment of MIR. Robert w. Stevenson, who keeps
the hotel. at the Natural Bridge, Rockbridge
county, and is Well-known to many OF our citi-
zens for an alleged violation of the civil rights
bill. The case was tried in the United States
Court at Harrisonburg on last Tuesday, before
a jury composed of nine white and three col
cred men. The jury were unable to agree,
standing ten for conviction and two for acquit-
| tai. and were discharged. Mr.. Stevenson was
required to give bail in the sum of $500 for his
appearance at the next term of the court. The
case as presented to the conrt was substantial
Iy as follows: In October, 1876. there was po-
litical meeting and speaking at the Natural
| Bridge, where two negroes stopped at the hotel
and putting up their horses ordered dinner
Mr.: Stevenson had dinner prepared for them in
| the Kitchen, but they refused to eat there, and
| wanted their dinner served in the dining room.
| Mr.. Stevenson informed them that he did not
| keep a hotel for coio.ea people, whereupon they
became insulted and refusing to dine at Mr..
Stevenson's took their departure, threatening
him with prosecution. They made their COM
plant to the Z. S. District Attorney at Harri-
sonburg upon whose Indictment Mr.. Steven
son was tried with the result as above stated.
