Aaron Dwight Stevens and Albert Hazlett, both convicted for their role in John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, appeared in a Charlestown, Virginia courtroom to hear the death sentence passed upon them. The two were hanged together at Charlestown on March 16, 1860, the last of the captured raiders to do suffer that fate. (By John Osborne)
