had occasion to go out doors between - and
/ O'Clock at night, and was accosted by four
tiends in human shape, one OF whom caught
hold ofmy body in very rough manner, at
which | gave a scream. Another one then
caught me by the throat and mouth, and a
third one presented a pistol, and swore tia. he
would shoot me through if | made any noise
whatever. They appeared to have their ia
ces BACKED, and We're IN very ragged clothing.
They then started off with me- | became SO
weakened by ,he fright that l was unable TO
walk, and they dragged me for some dis
lance. They then halted and sent one Of the
company back to the house TO see if the in
mates had discovered what was going on,
se,fs.ll.o were som, lke Iua 10 ,FasII-
ington creek. some three miles distant, 10 a
place they had selected for me- but | plead
and begged that they shou.l ave me where
my friends nigh. mad ne. They ordered ME
to be sill, or they would cut my tongue out;
and one # them got his knife out, and came
toward ne, and | think would have severed
my tongue from my mouth, bad not one, who
appeared TO have some feeling for me- have
iutertere4 and prevented the act. They then
lied nay tongue WIZ small cord, very tight,
AMI drew the cord round the back of my
neck, and then under my chin, so tight that
II was with difficulty that | could breathe
They also tied my lands behind my back
drawing the cord tightly around my waist
They then proceeded with me-one on each
side-to the distance ofabout mile from Hi
ats house. whore they each one proceeded 10
violate my person. They kicked and abused
me severely. and tied my feet together, and
left ne, as | supposed, 70 die. Alter laying
sometime quite IuseHsia5s @! my condition, |
came 10 my senses l.-tte. and found that my
feet were released by some means, but l know
not how. | supposed the man who appeared
To have some G,tie feeling for me, had come
back and cut or united the rope. l then,
with great deal Of difficulty, succeeded in
getting up, and started toward the house, but
was weak that | fell down q number of times
on my way, and when l reached the yard
fence, lAe only way | could get over was 10
fall over il, where | lad 10 lay for some time
before l could -e, up. and on reaching the
house it was with considerable difficulty that
succeeded in waking any Of the family. y,
length, however. they heard me and let me in. .
