...writing from his home town-"A prophet is not without honor, etc." Not so, Senator Willis as a student in the University here had the love and respect of his teachers and all who knew him best. His unusual intellectual capacity as a mere boy was recognized by the faculty and students as nothing short of remarkable. . . . Willis advanced by leaps and bounds in college; and while yet in knee pants, so to speak, became a teacher and professor of law.

The courtroom was filled with reporters from Southern papers (Northern newssheets neglected the story) and with the inhabitants of the countryside who felt a strange unreality in the proceedings, as if they had suddenly stopped being real people and had become instead the actors in a play. The Rev. Thomas F. Pardue told...
