1008. BURR'S (A.) TRIAL, Arrest.—[continued].

That the arrest of Colonel
Burr was military has been disproved; but
had it been so, every honest man and good citizen
is bound, by any means in his power, to
arrest the author of projects so daring and dangerous.—
To Edmund Pendleton Gaines. Washington ed. v, 141. Ford ed., ix, 122.
