the murder, a brother OF the deceased In

must have revenge for the death OF bis
brother, by taking his (Sibley's) life. TO
this proposal Sibiey readily assented, and
proposed that his execution should take
place OIL the following morning which
was also assented TO by the other party.
In the mean time Sibley was kept under
no restraint whatever, but was permitted
his freedom as usual, without showing the
least disposition 10 make bis escape.
When the morning arrived on which he
was to suffer death, Sibiey we0t out with
