Luke was confined in close cell, and at last
the authorities thought they had him SAFE. But
they were N st iken. He took a rock out Of the

door OF the Jail, but here he stopped on account
of the bull dogs, and, he stood there in the door

afraid to trust him much longer, SO they took
him back 10 Nash county, and be had bis trial.
