Jake Purnell, Kidnapper.

Editors Messenger: Can you tell me
something regarding one Jake Purnell.
the kidnapper, about whom l was told
i'll my boyhood days? w.
Jake Purnell, was a negro who lived
fifty years ago near the farm of the late
Irving Spence, just out of Snow Hill,
he was one of the most notorious kid
nappcrs that ever operated in the South.
He was more intelligent than ordinary
negroes, and was as brave as a lion, of
a powerful build and possessed great
cunning. Jake was accustomed to steal
negroes i'll Maryland and pass them
over to his associates who took them
south and sold them. His depredations
had become SO notorious that the plant
ers resolved to capture or kill him.
Jake rode white horse which he had
taught to grin when approached by "a
stranger; he had also two vicious bull
dogs, and always carried brace of
heavy pistols with him. He had Il wife
who lived in cabin situated In seclud
ed wood near a swamp. Jake finally
killed slave, who resisted him, and
this enraged the slave owners who
armed themselves with the determine
ton To kill or capture him. They pro-
ceeded cautiously toward his cabin, but
Jake learned of their approach aud con-
cealed himself under the house. The
cabin was surrounded, the dogs shot.
aud his wife told that they would shoot
her if she did not reveal Jake place of
concealment. She pointed to the floor
of the cabin; the kidnappcr was then
told to come ont and run for his life; he
m ma
drew a knife across his throat and killed
himself. In the vicinity of his cabin
caves were found i'll which he had hid
den the negroes he had stolen.
There was great rejoicing among the
slaves at ,Iake's death. but they declared
his ghost still haunted the spot where
he had died, and the old cabin remained
untenanted until it fell down.

moke westward. The suitors for the
hand oV Wahema, it Is said, were many,
and Waspasson. the son of Waspasson,
the friend of WeatOmotonies, was the
one To whom the heart of Wahema had
gone forth; but. as has been the way of
maidens, both before and since the day
of Wahema, ''in public her face was
averted, and i'll anger she named his
name" One day as she stood in the
twilight an arrow from an unseen bow
pierced her heart. Falling, she grasped
Il twig which broke in her hand With
the strength that sometimes comes to
the dying, she pulled the arrow from
the wound and the twig fell across it,
Thus she was found. They buried her
where she fell. and the twig that was
across the wound was placed over
the mound. and one by one the young
men and maidens of the tribe broke IA
twig and threw it on the heap Tho
custom was kept up by several genera
tons of Indians until it became super
stition that To- omit the simple ceremony
III passing meant a failure in whatever
might next be attempted. while faith
full attention augured success The
legend and the superstition were handed
down to the white settlers and the Gus
tom has been kept up by their descend
ants to tins day. and thereby "Indian
Heap" has been perpetuated. That it
is not likely to go down is attested by
the fact that in the records of Worcester
county it is named as one of the bound
aries of Il tract of land i'll Indiantown.
