vexation. Wien Fort Gaines succumbed
to Federal prowess. there was another

American Government, the howl grew
more intense and Interesting. When

was forced to dccanp from Atlanta with

The gentle and innocent SC undrel who
escaped from The State Prison Of OnIo

has gone to another prison from which 20

sweet and angelic butcher of Union men
