Gen Woodford Calls Chisholm Trial a Farce in Mississippi
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford of New York, the U S District Attorney for the southern district, accompanied Mrs. Chisholm to DeKalb Mississippi to testify in the Henry W. Gully murder trial. He described the trial as a dreary farce from start to finish and praised Thomas S. Ford and Judge Ware for their conduct, while noting the verdict did not reflect the county’s true sentiment.
