Boswell’s wife pleaded for his release. In passing judgment on the man Judge Meekins said “he is lucky not to be shot so full of holes he could not be stuffed with straw.”
Boswell was sentenced under the “White Slave” act. He took the young girl to South Boston, Va. Miss Strickland had not been wronged by Boswell but he had been constant in his attentions upon the girl.
