The prisoners were directed to be brought into Court to receive their sentences. It was a scene of most feeling and solemnity, and caused quite a thrill in every heart, that was sensible to feeling. The prisoners were directed to stand up, when the Clerk read to them each, the crimes for which they had been committed, viz: Coppie, for treason, advising and conspiring with slaves and others to rebel, and for murder in the first degree. Cook, Green and Copeland, not guilty of treason, but of advi...sing and conspiring with slaves and others to rebel, and for murder in the first degree. The clerk then ad- dressed the prisoners severalty, to know if they had anything to say why sentence according to the terms of the verdict, should not be passed. Edwin Coppie arose with much composure and in a clear and distinct voice, declared his innocence of any intent to commit treason, murder or robbery. He said he had been induced to come here at the instance of Capt. Brown, under the 167 impression that the negroes were anxious to escape from bondage, and his whole purpose when starting from, home was to liberate the slaves Previous to the day of the night upon which the attack was made upon Har- per's Ferry, he had no knowledge of any Constitution or By-laws for a Provisional Government, and had never signed it up to that period.
