quent.
Judge Price was a good lawyer and clear |
headed, honest Judge His fearlessness in
the discharge of duty was illustrated in the |
trial of Marion Crops and Peter Corrie, at !
Towsontown, in 1855 They were indicted |
for the murder of policeman Rigdon. Balti- |
more city at that time was almost under the |
control of know-nothing clubs and despera- |
does. The courageous conduct OF Judge |
Price, his stern rebuke of crime aud his deter |
mination to punish the guilty, won for him /
the highest praise. Crops and Corrie were |
found guilty and promptly sentenced to death |
by Judge Price. Indeed, the determination |
he showed as Judge to protect the people of
Baltimore from outrage at the hands of ruff |
ans, was more effectual than anything else in |
restoring the rule of law and order in the |
city.
His funeral will take place this, Friday, af- |
ternoon, at o'clock, from Grace Memorial |
Church, Darlington, to Darlington Cemetery. |
