On Saturday last, the woman came
over to my house, and while there, I
noticed the wounds on her head and
finger, and Brown said in my pre-
sence, that he had stabbed her with q
bayonet and was sorry for it. He
also said that he did not care about
one God d-n man, and the woman
could tell whom, and that he would
like to see the man who would take
him. This was my reason for taking
the following body of men armed
with guns, viz: London Scott,
Thomas White, Abner Davidson,

Bailey, Cupid Trott, Abel Simons,

Brown, Mitchell Wade, and Lieut..
Moore. All these men were armed
with musket, and one man had O
pistol. We all went up to Mr..
Charles H. Wilson's to tell him my
errand. He was not at home. I
then told Mr.. Leman what was my
errand. He asked mo where I got
the power from. Told him from the
"body"-the same previously men
toned. He told me that he feared
the law would decide against me; but
I said that I would try it. I then
went into the field, he accompanying
me the whole way. Some boys came
to Brown first;, they came quietly
and told him he must submit. I
soon came up, and, saluting the
prisoner, said: "Mr. Brown, I am
sorry, sir, you are my prisoner. I"
He replied: "Well, sir, 1 will go with
you wherever you command" I
said: ''You have committed ON assault
and battery, with intent to kill, and
I intend to take yon to the Supreme
Court, and let them judge of your
case" 1 brought him then to town,
and lodged him in the guard house.
