room was kept dark during her confne-

during which time she was threatened
and treated with considerable violence
by the monster who had her in his Gus

countenance of the man, who visited
her. But there was woman who was
IN the habit of going into her room,
whom she thinks she should know if
she were to see her again, as she upon
one occasion carried candle with her
into the room. On the night of her es-
cape the door had been left unlocked
whether by accident ordesign, she was
unable to say. Her narrative is cor
roborated by the testimony of the lady
with whom she resided, who repre-
SCENTS that man called at her house on

that her brother was dangerously ILL.,
