Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Notice of the Recent Outrages Committed by Isaac I, Stevens, Governor of Washington Territory: The Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus, the Breaking Up of Courts, and the Kidnapping of Judges and Clerks In the latter part of the month of March, 1856, Lion A. Smith, Charles Wren, Henry Smith, John McLeod, John McField, Henry Murry and - Wilson, America citizens, residents of the County of Pierce, and Territory of Washington, were arrested upon their several land claims, in that county, by a detachment of volunteers under orders of Isaac I. Stevens, Governor of said Territory, without process of law, and without any complaint or affidavit being lodged against them, charging them with the commission of any offence against the law. They were taken by a guard to the town of Olympia, the capitol of the Territory, detained there over night, and then sent in custody of a guard to the U. S. Military Post at Fort Steilacoom, with a written request of Governor Stevens to Lieut. Col. Casey, U. S. Army, commanding that post, to retain said prisoners in close confinement, upon a charge of treason. In the early part of April, William II. Wallace and Frank Clark, attorneys at law, of counsel for said prisoners, started for Penn´s Cove, Whidby´s Island, a distance of a hundred miles, the residence of Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, U. S. District Judge of the Third Judicial District of Washington Territory, to make application for the writ of habeas corpus, to test the legality of such imprisonment.
