The <em>Carlisle American<\/em> and <em>American Volunteer<\/em> published reports about Hazlett\u2019s case with contradicting evidence and testimony, which reflected the confusion over Hazlett\u2019s identity.

Hazlett was executed in Charlestown, Virginia on March 16, 1860.<\/p>\n<p><em>This essay has been posted online with permission from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.historicalsociety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cumberland County Historical Society<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cCumberland County\u2019s Connection to John Brown\u2019s Raid at Harper\u2019s Ferry\u201d (2009) Joseph D.
