al enemy. The Wing says:
On the way to Jail, she laughed ard joked
about the scene that she had just passed
through! During the whole day, though at
times much excited, she often conversed
earnestly with her counsel and the Sheriff,
and whenever Judge Hogeboon INDUCED
in keen stroke of satire or sally of wit,

being also sick ofconsumption, his friends,
under the belief that the dead brothers
were feeding on the living, went to their
