The loss sustained by Mr.Swartz, by the fall of Jackson, was comparatively insignificant, and therefore he has felt no change of fortune.

The punishment that he merits, is not yet meted to him, but we feel certain that it will be dealt to him at the proper time.
Further investigation and search resulted in the discovery of sufficient evidence to convict Awtry of being a spy.

When brought before the court martial convened to try him, he displayed considerable arrogance, and obstinately persisted in declaring himself a British subject.

With such plausibility did he defend himself, that the court was at first very much puzzled to decide whether or not he was a spy, for every evidence brought against the prisoner was explained and made insignificant by his consummate skill in argument, and it was only by the opportune arrival of a detective with the most decided proof of his guilt, that he was condemned to death.

Awtry received the sentence of the court with haughty indifference, and was led back to prison, to await death by hanging.
