Street".
After the incident, both sides tried to use propaganda in the
newspapers to make the other side look bad. One famous
engraving by Paul Revere shows Captain Preston ordering his

men to fire (which he never did) and labels the Custom House
as "Butcher's Hall".
There is some evidence that the colonists planned the attack
on the soldiers.
One of the men killed was Crispus Attucks, a runaway slave
who had become a sailor. The other victims included Samuel
Gray, James Caldwell, Samuel Maverick, and Patrick Carr.
There was little evidence against the four civilians arrested and
they were all found not-guilty in their trial.
