"Eisenschmid to Basel"

The process ended on May 10th. The jury was almost completely made up of local people, Ata having 'forbidden' Europeans from serving. All the other points except complicity in the ritual murder were found against the prosecution by the jury - there is a belief about that they had been bribed by Ata's family. The king and the 3 others punished were put on a warship bound for Lagos on 4th may. His mother and a brother have not been able to leave Accra on account of the unpaid debts which they have incurred. Buck began the journey to Kibi on 10th May.
