knocked at the door, and the prisoner Williams ins tautly
ran down stair:, and concealed himself in a closet in the
kitchen. The door was opened by the woman, an d the
constable took the prisoner into custody. There were
several men and women in the house, who were well
known to the police as suspicious characters.

prove that they had both been convicted, and had only
recently been liberated from gaol.
