Massachusetts court orders six men to trial for the August tarring and feathering of a Haverhill editor

On the evening of August 19, 1861, a mob tarred and feathered Ambrose L. Kimball, editor of the Essex Democrat in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in punishment for his perceived Southern leanings. The state court sitting in nearby Salem indicted six men on various charges stemming from the event and ordered them held under bail of $1000 each.  (By John Osborne)

In Prince William's County, a night of entertainment ends in death for ten Texas cavalrymen

A group from the 8th Texas Cavalry, called the Rangers, were enjoying themselves at the house of a Confederate sympathizer, named Porter, near Occoquan Bridge in Prince William County.  A civilian fiddler from Washington provided the music.  After midnight the house was surrounded by a strong Union patrol from the 37th New York.  Called upon to surrender, the Texans opened fire. All ten were killed by the infantry firing through the walls of the house.  Porter and the fiddler survived. The 37th lost one man killed and four wounded.  (By John Osborne)
