Record of the trial of John Brown and his associates [manuscript] n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647911662

Parker first reviews the results of the Jefferson County Court held October 25, 1859, at which Brown was indicted, then briefly summarizes the events of each day of the Circuit Court trial of Brown and his followers. For November 2 he notes "Verdict guilty of treason as charged in 1st count of indict. - also of advising & conspiring with slaves & others to rebel as charged in 2d count of the indict. & of murder in 1st degree as charged in 3rd and 4th counts--John Brown, led in & it being demanded of him...if any thing for himself he has or knows to say why the court should not proceed to judgment, & execution --but had nothing but what he had before said. Therefore it is considered that he be hanged by the neck until he is dead...." There are also notes on the separate trials of John E. Cook and Albert Hazlett who were not ordered returned to Virginia by Pennsylvania authorities until October 26 and very brief mentions of the trials of John Copeland and African-Americans Shields Green and Edwin Coppoc.
