Attack on Mr. Sumner.Boston, Massachusetts, Bee [American](23 May 1856)
-- By referring to our
telegraphic column it will be seen that Hon. Chas.
Sumner, M. C., of this city, was ferociously and
brutally assaulted in the National Senate Chamber
yesterday, by a cowardly scoundrel named Brooks.
An outrage so gross and villianous was never
before committed within the walls of the Capitol. It
is rendered additionally infamous and barbaric
from the fact that fiendish bystanders prevented
persons who were disposed from interfering. This
bully Brooks who has disgraced the name of man,
ought to be branded as a villain of the blackest
dye, and then mercilessly kicked from one end of
the continent to the other. The black mark of
Cain will stand out on his brow to the last moment
of his disgraced life.
