THOUGHT HE WAS A WIZARD.
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had never been repealed in Tennes­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.
