Star/ of th# On* Trial For Witchcraft Hold In Tonnosao*. This case o f witchcraft was in the yeur 1835 atitl originated on the batiks o f Obey’* river, a tributary of the Cumberland and in Fontrc*“ comity, Term. It was first tried b e - ! fore Joshua Owens, a justice of the peace at thut time. An old tnnn named Stout, who lived in a very quiet way in the neighborhood, who did not attend church, who had been sitting up late at night reading strange books and about whose early history nothing was known, was suspected o f being a wizard, and when a daughter of one Taylor was taken violently ill with a disease that the doctor could not diagnose it was determined to arrest old man Stout fo r bewitch ing her. A large posse was secured, and guns were loaded with silver bullets, fo r it was thought that nothing else would kill a wizard. Th e old man was arrested and brought to trial In-fore Esquire Ow ens. A vast array o f witnesses tes tified as to his habits und added t h a t , they had seen him escape from , dwelling houses through the key hole in the doors and that he had thrown people and animals into strange spells by his influence when they were miles away from him. Th e officers and posse subjected him to a great many indignities, and he was held to await the action o f the grand jury. When court convened Judge Abraham Caruthers, who was on the bench and who founded the great . law school o f Cumberland univer sity at Lebanon, Tcnn., and Gen eral John B. McCormick, the prose cuting attorney, refused to indict the old man. The action o f the j court and attorney general almost precipitated a riot, it is said, in the courtroom. Old man Sfout then sued the offi cers and posse for dnmages, and they pleaded as a defense that they were in the act of arraigning a crim inal and cited the statutes o f Henry V I I I . and James I. making witch craft a felony, which they declared had never been repealed in Tennes see. Thus ended the first and only trial fo r witchcraft in Tennessee by • the conviction o f the persons who i had arrested him and subjected him to great indignities.— Case and Com ment.
