The decision of the lower court was reversed, a change of venue granted, a new trial held and an acquittal secured. Thus ended the tragic experience that burned all the remaining dross out of Belton's nature and prepared him for the even more terrible ordeal to follow in after years. Bernard was now at the very acme of fame. He had succeeded in becoming the most noted negro of his day.
