saw two men leave the pasiago, pulling the street door to

see him, and I thought it might be them point
out. I went to bed again. About ten minutes after
heard the latch of the door go again, and this time I got oat
of bed and encountered the prisoner Blackman in the pee-
mge. I asked him what he wanted, and then seized him.
He struggled and got away, but I caught him again at the
door. He then pulled me into the street, when I shouted for
