...Genius of Universal Emancipation, published weekly in Baltimore. He went to prison for failure to pay a fine of $50 for libel when he had referred to a ship carrying a cargo of slaves from Baltimore to New Orleans as engaged in "domestic piracy." Poet Whittier appealed to Henry Clay (slaveholder) to pay the fine for Garrison's release; but Clay was forestalled by a Manhattan philanthropist after Garrison had been in jail for seven weeks...

The Sketch has now denounced the photographs, but Conan Doyle and other highsouled enthusiasts have sprung to their defense...
