1895.
At the time Of the trial in the County
Court of Lunenburg of Solomon Marab:e
and Others troops were sent TO protect
the prisoners at the request of the Sher-z

Richmond for safe-keeping, pending exc
cution. "A new trial was grained by the
Supreme Court, and when the prisoners
were taken back to Lunenburg Sheriff
Cardoza declined to ask the Governor
for an escort, declaring that the civil
authorities could and would protect them.
The Governor at first said he would
send the prisoners in charge OF a mill

it or not but after examining the law.
he concluded he had no authority and
they were turned over to the Sheriff, by
whom they were safely conducted to.
