questions he answered positively no. Finding
nothing new IN our progress, we again proceeded

ii Dunn made an address TO such OF the commit
tee as were present, which he stated that tor
fear any wrong impressions might go abroad against
the Sheriff, himself and his brother, ne would


say that he told the Sheriff the number OF men and
arms that were in the church, and would say
further, that they had been on the premises since
the eighth or tenth of June, having been obtained
by an order from Governor Porter, and that he,


Hubbell, constituting him captain OF company

the evening OF the 4h Of July, he had one hundred


and fifty men in the house drilling them The


sheriff said he knew OF the arms being IN me
church, having been told by the Priest ana Mr W.
Fl. Dunn; and subsequently the Priest stated that
he had received on The Ith Of July, letter stating
that the church would be fired on the lth, 9th, OF
18th OF Juy-hence the necessity Of arming the
building. The names OF the persons found IN Tie
church with Priest Dunn, have been handed over 70
the proper authorities. These men the Sheriff SAID
should be reached by law, II any law couid reacn

cannot (n account ot being separated on duty and
