Spain extradited Ogé to colonial authorities who executed him on the wheel

Evidence

Soon after some initial victories, however, Ogé’s uprising was crushed by troops sent from Le Cap. Groups of free men of color who had gathered in other parts of the colony also dispersed, sometimes after negotiating with white officers. Ogé fled to Spanish Santo Domingo, but the Spanish extradited him to Le Cap. He asked for clemency, but received torture and execution. He and his fellow conspirator Jean-Baptiste Chavannes were condemned to be executed, broken on the wheel, and their heads displayed on pikes to dissuade others. Nineteen other participants were hung. — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 302
