of his arrest:
When arrested he was perfectly nude, and
had apparently been wandering in the nouns
tains and swamps, until he had torn his clothes
completely from his body. Hunger at last drove
him out, and the immediate cause Of his ap-
prehension was his attempt to force an entrance
into farm house, while the men were away
at their work, and none but females at home.
They cav him coming towards ths house, per-
fectly naked, and barred the door against him
keeping him at bay until assistance arrived,
and he was secured. He is q man Of middle
size, strong built, and possessed of much mus.
cular power. When first arrested, be was
bound with a rope Of four strands, which he
severed with his teeth, without any great effort.
He was exceedingly anxious TO escape from
arrest. and gave his captors no little trouble to
bring him to Newton. He called himself Jas.
