Abstract

Abstract In 1859, Key West found itself transfixed by a sensational criminal trial. Styled United States v. Carcer, Eloy, and Davis, and presided over by William Marvin, the island's legendary federal judge, the case involved a mutiny-murder aboard the slave ship Enterprise. Although famous in its day, the tale has been all but forgotten due to the Great Key West Fire of 1886, which destroyed nearly every record of the affair.

Schooner Enterprise：一起被遗忘的Key West谋杀案

摘要1859年，基韦斯特发现自己被一场耸人听闻的刑事审判惊呆了。该案以美国诉Carcer、Eloy和Davis案为风格，由岛上传奇的联邦法官William Marvin主持，涉及奴隶船Enterprise上的一起叛变谋杀案。尽管这个故事在当时很有名，但由于1886年基韦斯特大火，几乎所有关于这件事的记录都被毁了，这个故事几乎被遗忘了。
