November 20, 1854
I've been wondering if the United States Grand Jury would
find bills against any of us rioters, but suppose there is now no chance
of that, as they reported to-day. Mr. Hallett has failed again, therefore. The
other trial is not yet fixed.
The trial of our Butman rioters goes on slowly and will take
a week or more. Probably they will all be bound over, but none convicted at
last.
