[1][3] In 1858, he was principal counsel and attorney in the Oberlin–Wellington Rescue case, assisting George Belden of Canton, the United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, in the prosecution.

Both conspirators were found guilty by the jury in the court of judge Hiram V. Willson, and punished.
