Trial of Reverend Armstrong Draws Atlanta Deep Interest
The Armstong trial on charges of immoral revelry and conduct unbecoming a minister opens in Atlanta. The case features allegations of impersonation as Wilkes Booth, media scrutiny from Cincinnati and Wheeling, and a church panel weighing evidence as Mrs. Armstrong and daughter Miriam stay in Atlanta and play prominent social roles. Public opinion appears divided while witnesses including Cincinnati reporter Mann testified under oath.
