Tennessee Treason Conviction Highlighted at Jefferson County
The Jefferson county circuit court in Tennessee found De Witt C. Williams guilty of treason against the state for aiding the Confederacy. Williams received fourteen years hard labor and confinement in the state penitentiary. The case, first of its kind in Tennessee, underscores state sovereignty and differs from U S treason concepts. The Knoxville Whig notes the trial and mentions the judge J P Swan and state attorney James M Meek. The piece also mentions a move to provide rooms for the President at Long Branch in view of the hot season.
