The Daily Dispatch: April 23, 1862., [Electronic resource], Sovereignty of the State. (search)
Found guilty. --Joseph Calvin Henry, a young white man of unpleasing exterior, with a face as expressionless as a suet dumpling, whose general dullness was but partially relieved by a pug nose of diminutive size, was yesterday brought before the Hustings Court, Judge Lyons, and put on trial for feloniously, in January last, near the Old Market-House, stabbing a negro man, belonging to Wm. Smithers, with an oyster knife. The prisoner was prosecuted by L. Tazewell, for the Commonwealth, and defended with considerable ability by Mr. Lucas, a member of the Richmond bar. The jury returned from their retirement with a verdict of guilty, and two years imprisonment in the penitentiary, in accordance with which finding the Judge immediately passed sentence, and the culprit was taken to his future place of abode.
