discharge, the contents of the pis
tol passed through the crown of
his hat. Turner, resourceful as
ever, contrived a new hiding place
in a sort of den in the lap of a
fallen tree, over which he placed
fine brush.
He protruded his head from his
cave to get his bearings Sunday af
ternoon, October 30, when a Ben
jamin Phipps, who was out for the
first time in pursuit of Turner, sud
denly came up:n him and demand
ed to know who he was. Turner
gave his name and surrendered his
sword,, which was the only weapon
he then had.
This was 70 days after that Sun
day in August when Turner and his
comrades had feasted in the woods
and planned their attack. At the
time of his capture there were at
least 50 men out in search of him,
ncne of whom could have been two
miles from the hiding plaoe. Sev
eral companies of the State Militia
and a battalion of United States
marines had also joined in the
search and failed.
inea, convicted in 12 Days
He was taken the next day to
Jerusalem, the county seat, and was
tried November 5 before a board of
magistrates. He pleaded “Not
Guilty,” but was convicted on depo
sitions of one Levi Waller, who read
Turner's Confession. Turner was
sentenced to hang Friday, Novem
ber 11, 1831, twelve days after his
capture.
Skinned for Souvenirs
A great throng gathered at the
execution. Turner exhibited the ut
most composure and calm resigna
tion. He declined to avail himself
of the opportunity to address the
crowd, and went to his death with
out a sign of emotion. His body
was given over to the surgeons for
dissection. He was skinned to sup
ply such souvenirs as purses, his
flesh made into grease, and his
bones divided as trophies to be
handed down as heirlooms. It is
said that there still lives a Virginian
who has a piece of his skin which
was tanned, and that another Vir
ginian possesses one of his ears and
that the skull graces the collection
of a physician in Norfolk.

Maryland, scared at the Turner
revolt, and fearing a slave out
break, passed a bill in 1831 to re
trieve the free colored people to
Liberia. Another act forbade the
introduction of slaves either for
sale or residence and the immigra
tion of free Negroes.
In 1832 Delaware passed an act
preventing the use of firearms by
free Negroes and also enforced the
law of 1811 against the immigra
tion of free Negroes, prohibited
meetings of blacks fter ten o’clock
and forbade non-resident blacks to
preach.
Tennessee
Tennessee forbade free persons of
color to immigrate into that state
under the penalty of fine for re
maining and imprisonment in de
fault of payment.
Georgia
Georgia enacted a measure pro
viding that free Negroes or slaves
could not preach to an assembly of
more than seven unless licensed by
justices on certificates of three or
dained ministers. Virginia and
North Carolina prohibited free Ne
groes from learning to read or write
and banned return of any Negro
who left the state to be educated.
South Carolina also enforced a law
banning Negroes from working as
salesmen or clerks in stores. Misis
sippi had already met most of the
requiremets in the slave code in
the year 1830. *
The insurrection was a moral
success and was contributory in
stirring forces that finally resulted
in the Emancipation Proclamation
and the Thirteenth Amendment.
Nat Turner deserves to be ranked
with the greatest reformers of his
day. His name has come down the
years to us as a b^ld fighter, a dar
ing leader, and a martyr for free
dom.
Among the descendants of the
famous Nat Turner was the Rev.
John E. Jones, dean of Maryland
Baptist ministers, who died in Bal
timore recently. The Rev. Mr.
Jcnes was the son of Robert Jones
and grandson of Turner.
Some of the relatives of Nat
Turnerwho are living today are:
Six granddaughters: Mrs. Charity
Lockley of Washington, D.C.; Mrs.

Subway Shower
I gave my seat to someone in the
subway. As I stood, I dropped my
package of lunch, which included a
bottle of milk, on the floor. Not
knowing that the glass had broken,
I started to pick up the bundle.
When I lifted it, the milk dripped
on the hat of the woman sitting
in front of me!
Caught by the Boss
Not having time during lunch
to finish the chapter of a book I
was reading, I decided to finish it
during working hours in a little

rarely used. In the middle of my
