THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.

thus far. but now be rather pressed himself for
ward, and looked at Logan just like 4 dead man
looks at one. Logan cringed beneath his look.
Logan stated that Cook confessed having been
at Harper's Ferry.
Here the counsel for Cook made some objec-
tons, and spoke Unexpectedly of Logan. The
witness seemed rather to get cross with the coun-
sci, and in proof Of ono statement, pulled out OF
his pocket q commission made to Cook BY John
Brown.
Logan fairly cringed under the look Cook gave
him as he pulled out this paper.
Yes, he betrayed Cook-the scoundrel,' said q
bystonder. --.I.s I
Logan said that this was the commission be
commission. 1t was signed by Brown as Com
mander in Chief, sud think it was countersign-
ed by Kagi. 1t was a printed commission, one
line Of letters, in the form Of an arrow, was very
peculiar; l could not read ii; I never saw such
letters before. 1t was made out to Cook as cap.
tain. II was marked No. 4.
After hearing this testimony, I thought the ev.
idence was sufficient to authorize me to hold the
prisoner over to answer. l committed him to
prison that night
Iu further conversation with the magistrate, he
described Cooks manners and personal appear
ance 80 accurately as to leave no doubt on my
own mind that the unfortunate fugitive is he.
In the short time | was with him. he said, Il
thought him a gentleman. There was no sign Of
bad breeding about tho man. There was q great
deal Of candor about him. He 10 evidently a very
brave man. There was not a man here but
thought him u person Of determination and cour-
age.'
F~itEhugh. having the best social position, Guds
more defenders here than Logan. But he is evi.
IDENTIFY the more guilty of the two Williams. Not
content with having Cook at their mercy, after
disarming and overpowering him, they loaded
him with irons to bring him to town. Cooks Of
cred word of honor and entreaties were impotent
to prevent this indigni,y.
Logan repents Of his perfdy already. He OK.
cuses himself as having acted on impulse. The
price OF blood is already troubling him, and the
cold chills-so l was told came over him as he
thought for the first time Of the probable ven.
geance of the Abolition Carbonari of America.
COOK IN JAIL.
His conduct in prison was in keeping with his
bearing in Court. lie refused to answer all aues.
tons, and when addressed as Cook, or when in.
quiries were cunningly proposed to him about
I~larper's Ferry, merely answered that he had no,
admitted that he was Cook. He asked for books,
and spent the day in reading.
PUBLIC FEELING,
Tho public pnlse here throb, with pity for Cook.
His GOODNESS, his unassuming but undaunted de.
meanor, has elected universal admiration. I'm.
like John Brown in the motives which guide him
he will. have no doubt, be as firm as the old
man before the cowardly Court to which, as l now
write, be is rapidly Surrying.
Both here and in Philadelphia, the conduct OF
Brown is arousing a deeper and broader Anti
Slavery sentiment ~(outside, as we'll as inside, Of
Abolition circles,) which even Kansas, with all
its horrors and outrases; failed signally to create.
Whyf IT HAS APPEALED TO THE RELIGIOUS Ma.
TURE OF THE PEOPLE. and water is beginning to
