Event Details
James Heaton, the notorious Radical leader in New Hanover county and that section for many years since the close of the war, is now in Jail in Wilmington under charges for various offences being unable to give bond for his appearance in the sum of a few hundred dollars. His father represented North Carolina in Congress and in the State Legislature soon after the war, and, although a "carpet-bagger," was as fair and respectable in his conduct as most public men of that day, and more so than many others. But the way of the transgressor is indeed hard, as proven in the case of James Heaton.
