    ed, their parents agreed to go, and see who it was.
    They started off; and took guns with them, and when they were approaching the church - yard, they saw the figure; and at that moment, one of the men raised his gun and fired a shot at it, and then the figure said, "don't shoot me," and with that he pulled off his clothes and stood as a stranger to the people.
    Then a guard appeared; and gave a large sum of money to the people; he then went over and seized the man; and told the people that he was an escaped convict.
