when these miserable fellows come
back to be fogged again"
In the Jail corridor on a bench
sat the six covering, quivering vic
Tins awaiting fate with folded
arms. There was no escape, SO

where they had been employed
making cheap trousers. A deputy
led them presently through a tun-
mel 100 yards to stone blockade.
"Off with your shirts boys"
ordered the warden. They fastened
their trousers by wrapping the sus-
penders around their waists.
