Ii appears from the statement Of the gen

on certain persons who were arrested and
confessed TO the robbery after being threat
ened with death, and who implicated other
persons, in all about fourteen, " he are all ar

ty were in Hope at the time, and returned
home under a state Of excitement. animated
with the notion Of driving out all suspected
persons from their own county.
A meeting was called and a company IF
regulators formed, who proceeded to arrest
certain suspected persons, and TO put them
to torture 10 make them disclose their confed-
crates. The mode Of torture adopted, was
to tie a rope around the body, and twist a
stick to it so as to tighten il at pleasure.
In this manner. they mangled and crushed
their victims in most shocking manner.

This information against others, though
extorted by torture, was deemed SO anthem

all such persons to leave The county. under
The penalty ofsevere punishment. A con
siderable number were severely whipped and
ordered off. Some OF the sufferers obtained
writs for two Of the regulators, who we're ar
rested By the Sheriff. and large posse was
called out to guard the prisoners but large
force OF the regulators soon assembled and
compelled the Sheriff to discharge them.
The regulators then proceeded to order the
Sheriff and his posse to leave the State, and
