...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. His neighbors sent him to the legislature of his own state, then later to the lower house of Congress...

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...
