Scene 2, Moses Dunbar, Tory.
Made to sign papers of loyalty un-
der stress. Later seized, tried and
sentenced to be hanged.
Waterbury furnished at this time
a conspicuous martyr who died de-
voted to the church of England. It
seemed absolutely necessary to find
a victim whose death should prove
a powerful object lesson to the
Tories, and to the political pris-
oners who filled the prisons. Moses
Dunbar was the man elected. The
tragedy and the pathos attending
his dying will forever appeal to the
heart of an American, be he the
descendant of Wing or Tory. Dun
bar was a resident of Terryville.
