Various aurmiscs have been INDUCED re-
Gariing the attempted cscar5 of Cook and
Coppie. i was SAL that Cook refused to
tell i:>,w he came by the knife, and also that
he had the couItegsign with which he would
have been enabled to pass the sentinel
This, however, needs confirmation, and is
hardly reliable. Much Indignation was ex-
pressed by the headstrong in reference to the
officials of the Jail, but a large number of
our citizens express confidence in them, and
spurn the idea that they were bribed by the
friends of Cook.
The hole made in the wall was q large
one, and the room in the sccon story. Cook
after being arrested. said to gentleman that
they had done the best they could that life
was as sweet to them as any one else, and
that they had planned it for ten days. They
had set Tuesday night for the attempt,
but it was deferred ON account of their not
wishing to compromise Gov. Willard who
was in town that night. Cook said to a
gentleman who addressed him, that he fully
believed slavery to be a sin, and that it
would be abolished in Virginia in less than
ten years, and that by the people of the
State. He was prepared to die in such a
cause, and thought he had done nothing to
regret SO far as principle was concerned.
Coppic said that he feared the affair was
uot ended yet that they had frieuds in
the North who would not rest satisfied until
their lves had been avenged lie hoped,
however, the affair would end here forever.
