Indiana Reveille, July 29, 1857, p. 3. NOTE: At a later time, the work of regulators was often referred to as whitecapping. The Bloomington Republican gives the following account of the collision between James Hughes and G(eorge) A. Buskirk which we noticed last week: On Wednesday last, while the trial of three persons charged as being participants in the whipping to death of (Edward) Bingham was progressing in the court house before Esquire Atkins, some difficulty arose between Judge G. A. Buskirk, attorney on the part of the prosecution, and Hon. James Hughes, attorney on the part of the defense. Some harsh terms were used; Hughes, we understand, called Buskirk a liar, when Mr. B. raised a small stick or cane as if to strike, when Hughes pulled a pistol from his pocket and fired at him, the ball barely missing him, and striking the ceiling beyond where he was standing. At this instant, Mr. Buskirk made at Hughes, clinched and struck him once or twice with his fist, knocking him down, when Mr. H. hallowed murder. Bystanders interfered and took Mr. B. off. Mr. Buskirk had no arms about him while Hughes had both a pistol and bowie knife upon his person, and which he exhibited to the crowd in the melee.
