as the law requires, Nosey was sent for TO
hear the verdict. Col. Redic went to the
jail and took out both Nosey and little
Irishman named Nee, who had been ac
ouited and who was delighted at his re
lease 1t was dark and he started for the
Court House with one hand on Nosey, but
just at the Court House steps, Nee pushed
between them and bid the Sheriff goodbye,
who was thus put off his guard and Nosey
broke for Liberty and started towards
Main ST. The Col. took of after him and
the race across the Diamond was at speed
which, if it had been continued would have
took them around the world in so days, but
Nosev has feet as we'll as Hose~ and he
distanced the Sheriff. who saw him last go
ing around the corner of the rink, and
Nosey ran across the creek and jumped
upon a passing train, and the last seen OF
him he was going up hill some distance
south west of town. The Court waited for
