The people of Lawrence denounced the deed; but the sheriff hoarded up the score for future revenge.

劳伦斯的民众谴责了这一行径；但治安官把这笔账记在心里，留待日后报复。

One additional incident served to precipitate the crisis.

又一起事件促使危机提前爆发。

Ex-Governor Reeder was in attendance on this committee, supplying data, pointing out from personal knowledge sources of information, cross-examining witnesses to elicit the hidden truth.

前州长里德出席了这个委员会，提供资料，凭亲身所知指出信息来源，并盘问证人以揭出隐藏的真相。

To embarrass this damaging exposure, Judge Lecompte issued a writ against the ex- Governor on a frivolous charge of contempt.

为了阻挠这一不利的揭露，勒孔特法官以莫须有的藐视法庭罪名对前州长发出了令状。

No posse was summoned, no further effort made, and Reeder, fearing personal violence, soon fled in disguise.

没有召集民团，也没有再采取任何行动，而里德担心遭到人身暴力，不久便乔装逃走了。

But the affair was magnified as a crowning proof that the free-State men were insurrectionists and outlaws.

但此事被夸大为自由州派是叛乱分子和亡命之徒的铁证。

From these, again, sprang barricaded and fortified dwellings, camps and scouting parties, finally culminating in roving guerrilla bands, half partisan, half predatory.

由此又出现了设路障、筑工事的住所，营地和侦察队，最终演变成四处流窜的游击队，半是党派武装，半是劫掠团伙。

Their distinctive characters, however, display one broad and unfailing difference.

然而，他们各自的特点显示出一个明显而一贯的差别。

The free-State men clung to their prairie towns and prairie ravines with all the obstinacy and courage of true defenders of their homes and firesides.

自由州派以真正保家卫园者的全部顽强与勇气，坚守着他们草原上的城镇与沟壑。
