He was led away without, further ceremony, and soon found himself within the , dark walls of the government prison at that place. Dr. SiMmons states that the charge on which he was captured and imprisoned was wholly fake, and that the only object the soh liatlFinarresting: - Ithirwas to secure - IM, money, knowing that he had a large sum iu his possession.
