Douglass's Attitude, "his horrid crime" (5), "the guilty perpetrator" (5), "unwhipped of justice, and uncensured by the community" (5), "...as though his guilty soul had not been stained with his brother's blood." (5), "of the awful and bloody deed" (6), "this most horrid murder" (7), Enslavers' Attitudes, "His reply was, (as well as I can remember,) that Demby had become unmanageable." (5), "He used to boast of the commission of the awful and bloody deed. I have heard him do so laughingly." (6), "Killing a slave, or any colored person, in Talbot county, Maryland, is not treated as a crime, either by the courts or the community." (6), "It was a common saying, even among little white boys, that it was worth a half-cent to kill a n*** and a half-cent to bury one." (10)
