take the girl and keep her, as the
Carpenters were not able. See prom

the persons who had the girl in
charge intended to take her to
Mount Sterling and put her in the
hands Of Cynthia Jones, y notorious
character. In the meantime the
girl ran away from the Culp's, came
to the house of See aud piteously
begged him to keep her, as she said
she WAS afraid of her people. This
led TO the attack on Culp's house,
and the deaths of five or more per
