On December 2, 1859, John Brown was hanged at Charles Town, Virginia.
Extraordinary precautions were taken so that no stranger be allowed in the city and no citizen within the enclosure surrounding the scaffold.
In many Northern towns and cities meetings were held and church bells were tolled.
Such was not the case in Rhode Island.
The only public demonstration in honor of John Brown was held at Pratt's Hall in Providence, on the day of his execution.
