Two More Brethren Imprisoned in Tennessee

Two more of our brethren are condemned to imprisonment in the State of Tennessee for quiet, unobtrusive work on the first day of the week. These are G. B. Thomson and David Deedon, of the town of Manchester. Through the kindness of the judge they are allowed to serve their sentences one at a time. The fine and cost in each case amount to $58.70, which is to be served out at the rate of forty cents a day. Brother Thomson has already begun to serve out his sentence in a jail condemned as unsanitary. No charge was brought against these brethren except for Sunday work. So evidently unjust was the whole proceeding that two of the witnesses refused to testify, declaring they had no fault to find with the accused men.
