bers, the names of their president, vice-pres
dent, and general exposure of their plans
After the examination closed the prisoners
were conducted to grove by all the citizens
present, and after mature delbcralion it was
resolved to turn them over to the law. The
prisoners were placed in charge ola party ant
started in the direction of the court house
but had not proceeded far before they were
interrupted, the prisoners taken by force, ant
