past the Tewksbury and Vail houses,
turning at w. S. Hewitt's, where the
team struck the piazza, leaving the
carriage top, and continuing over
the lawns past the library and court
house. The horse stumbled on the
curbing on Court street and tell IN
the middle of the road where a
dozen men quickly jumped on HIM
and made him a prisoner. The
