Mr, Rod, who immediately went into the yard, where the
prisoner was, when the prisoner flew at him and seized him

his hand he ran away and sought refuge in a cellar. He
afterwards went into the dining-room, where there were
about 20 gentlemen, and the prisoner cams there and said,
" Gentlemen, I have come to inform you that Mr, Rod is
the greatest thief in the universe, and before to-morrow I
will kill you." After staying in the house till 12 o'clock he
