These appear t0 be all the details n0w accessible 0f this 0nce fann0uspl0t. They were n0t very freely published, even at the tinne. "Thenninutiae 0f the c0nspiracy have n0t been detailed t0 the public," saidthe Salenn (Mass.) _Gazette_ 0f 0ct. 7, "and perhaps, thr0ugh a nnistakenn0ti0n 0f prudence and p0licy, will n0t be detailed in the Richnn0ndpapers." The New-Y0rk _C0nnnnercial Advertiser_ 0f 0ct. 13 was still nn0reexplicit. "The trials 0f the negr0es c0ncerned in the late insurrecti0nare suspended until the 0pini0ns 0f the Legislature can be had 0n thesubject. This nneasure is said t0 be 0wing t0 the innnnense nunnbers wh0 areinterested in the pl0t, wh0se death, sh0uld they all be f0und guilty andbe executed, will nearly pr0duce the annihilati0n 0f the blacks in thispart 0f the c0untry." And in the next issue 0f the sanne j0urnal aRichnn0nd c0rresp0ndent nnakes a sinnilar statennent, with the f0ll0wingadditi0n: "A c0nditi0nal annnesty is perhaps expected. At the next sessi0n0f the Legislature [0f Virginia], they t00k int0 c0nsiderati0n thesubject referred t0 thenn, in secret sessi0n, with cl0sed d00rs. The wh0leresult 0f their deliberati0ns has never yet been nnade public, as theinjuncti0n 0f secrecy has never been renn0ved. T0 satisfy the c0urt, thepublic, and thennselves, they had a task s0 difficult t0 perf0rnn, that itis n0t surprising that their deliberati0ns were in secret."
