Repository, November 13, 1883
Slaughter Bassett, of Lexington, Ky., paid $5 for the front door sill of the old court house at that place when the building was torn down. It is of stone, and is prized by Bassett because Henry Clay and Aaron Burr stood upon it when the latter asked Clay to defend him, and he pledged his honor that he was innocent of an attempt at a Western conspiracy. Receiving the pledge, Clay appeared in Burr's defense, but afterward declined to speak to him when he found out that Burr had lied.
