Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Joint Special Committee: Appointed to Investigate the Late Insurrection in the City of Vicksburg, Warren County As to the first of the above charges, your committee elicited from several witnesses a large amount of testimony which will be found immediately following this report, as an appendix thereto. It was also ascertained that all the officials and ex-officials against whom charges of forgeries and malfeasance had been made were, at the time your committee commenced its investigation, and had been for some time previous to the date of the insurrection in said county, under indictment by the Grand Jury The courts had full and complete power to punish, if found guilty. The parties had been duly and promptly arrested, were under good bonds for their appearance when called upon, and the objects and injunctions of the laws carried out to the fullest extent. The Grand Jury that had their cases under consideration, a large majority of whom were colored, according to the evidence, almost unanimously voted in the affirmative for indictment. Nothing was presented In evidence which goes to show than any effort was made by parties in power, in any manner whatever, to shield or protect the officials charged with crimes. Therefore, this certainly could not be considered as a reasonable cause or excuse for an outbreak. The evidence taken by the Committee, in relation to the charges against the officials, is ex-parte and for that reason, as well as for the one that persons should not be considered guilty until proven so in the Courts; also that it would be prejudicing and prejudging their case should your Committee pass upon the evidence; that prevents your Committee from commenting upon the matter except so far as to their acts being precedent causes for subsequent violation of law by some of the citizens of the county of Warren, and city of Vicksburg. As to the insufficiency of the bond of the Sherill, your Committee was unable to glean much authentic information. A certified copy of the Sheriff and Tax Collectors bond is herewith submitted. Even though the bonds were not worth one dollar as securities, which has never been charged, legal and peaceful means are provided in the statutes of our State for compelling a rectification.
