The facts about his participation came to light during the Boston Massacre trial. One of the witness whose testimony was recorded during the trial was Jonathan Carrey, the father of one of Samuel’s friends. In court he was asked, “Did you know young Maverick, who was killed by the firing in King street, on the 5th of March? Yes very well. Did you see him that night? He was at my house that night at supper with some young lads, and when the bells rung, as we all thought for fire, he ran out in order to go to it.
