A"Crusndo,,su Record

There is a part OF The history of A. G. Horn,
tho belligerant eX.pOstOiiice clorS, respecting
which but little is known in this locality.
The facts can be found in tho records of the
United States distrct-attornoy's office for the
United States circuit court for the southern
district of Mississippi 1t is there shown
that Horn, with cighty.ive others, were tried
and convicted at the June term of the court
in 1872 for violation of the enforcement act
at Meridian, Miss, in March, 1871.
The violation consisted in his combining
with many Of the white citizens of that place
to make cowardly and murderous attack
upon some of tho innocent colored people of
Meridian, which resulted in the killing of u
subsequently, brought to trial and found guilty,
not of murder, but only of violating tho en-.
forcement act. The sentence was trivial and
demonstrated the Partially of the court.
Horn was fined S25 and costs and placed under
81 900 bonds to keep the peace.
Again he was tried, with ffty.threo others,
for second violation of the enforcement net
by uniting with an organization known as
the "Secret Order of Crusaders" This society
had for its object the ostracising of all per-
sous in the state, both white and colored, who
were not in sympathy with the southern
| chvalry aud their ruling Mississippi 1t was
| the CRUSADERS" that engineered tho Kempel
| county kIu-kluXlng and the murder of the
| Chisholms.
On the second charge Horn was convicted
aud received another light sentence. The
| sentences have never been carried out MOI
the Judgment satisfied and until they are
Horn and the rest similarly situated are no
entitled to the right Of suffrage in tho sta @
but they so on voting all the same.
