inst, when Keys received letter
from the postmaster in Warren coun-

been disposed of unfairly. Keys made
this letter public, which Immediately

while Wickersham was dispatched to
arrest Henry Traitor at the Grove, and
Jim Maxcy to Warren to arrest Will

brought in, and showed an evident in

Fisher to be dead, and that Archibald

he guessed the body could be found
