Against Fayette two bills were found; one for misdemeanor in raising the liberty pole in Uniontown.

The petit jury was composed of twelve men from each of the counties of Fayette, Washington, Allegheny, and Northumberland, but none from Westmoreland.

One man, a German from Westmoreland, who was concerned in a riot in Fayette, was found guilty and condemned to death.
Mr.Gallatin, at the request of the jury, drew a petition to the President, who granted a pardon.

Washington extended mercy to the only other offender who incurred the same penalty.
To the close of this national episode, which, in its various phases of incident and character, is of dramatic interest, Gallatin, through good repute and ill repute, stood manfully by his constituents and friends.
