nothing OF what occurred to her after the night she
passed aloe in the cold damp cell in the watch

thus A few das after her arrest, her aged parents
came to see her. They applied to Justice Merritt,
who, feeling fer their situation sent an order for
Phebe to be broughs into his room The moment she
entered, she fell her knees before her parents, sob

natory epithets which applied TO herself with
great energy, and all with such inc oheIencs Of
