sons attempted to shoot marine
and was bayonetcd. ! was near by,
and saw the soldier drive his bay-
onet entirely through the unfortu-
raider, who rolled over and died at
once.
1.-The work Of the marines was
quick and effective. and in less
time than 1t has taken me to tell
about il Lieut.. Green was march
ing his prisoners out of the engine.
house. This ended the widest and
most audacious revolution of mod.
crn times, but foolhardy us it was,
handful Of men captured u town
and held it against the United
States Government for nearly two
days"
Mr.. Graham then gave tho sub.
soquent history of the trial and
conviction of the raiders, and the
hanging of the principal offenders.
"After the danger was over, +"
he went on "soldiers began to pour
into Harpcr's Ferry; companies
from Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia, including the militia OF
Baltimore and Richmond, and the
marines of Washington. In a
short time the place looked like it
was time Of war.
"The prisoners were removed to
Charlestown, w. Va. just ten miles
away, for trial and there the troops
were concentrated. OF course, all
the prisoners in the engiue-houso
were summoned as witnesses. Well,
as you know, Brown was convicted
of murder, and on this count was
hanged. | was present on that oo.
casion, as | wished to see tho affair
to its end. 1t was one Of those
mild days Of early December, and,
although the sight was gruesome,
there was something imposing
about it. The scaffold stood on an
elevation, and the soldiers were
drawn up about it so as to prevent
any demonstration.
"What do | think Of Brown |?
Well. | have hoard some people
call him saint, while others are
sure he was the devil himself. But
anybody who is fool enough to buck
up against the whole United States
Govern ment with handful OF men
couldn' / be very well balanced.
