On June 6, 1837 a larger group placed a notice in the Eastern Argus newspaper. It included Reuben Ruby, Titus Skillings, Abraham Niles, John Johnson and William Hamett. The notice claims that Rev. Chase has traveled to raise money on behalf of the Abyssinian. This notice led to a lawsuit filed by Rev. Chase against these men, which was heard by the Maine Supreme Court.
