as Well as tbe " defence was J ohn Dudley;
colored, who, with- Scbriver and the, de
ceased, formed tbe party who started upon
that fatal search after Randal Jordan
which resulted in the BhWtinjLMljyjlliam
Jones. His testimony was to ithej effect
that on the evening in question he met tbe
prisoner at the bar and William ' Jones at
the store of Mr. Clans Scbriver; that some
one had been telling that Randal Jordan,
the escaped prisoner; had been seen going
across Mr. Schiiver's field in the ! direction
of his house, &c" ' At the' outset, however;
Saturday . previous on the ' charge'' of
aesiolt.and battery and ; a commitmeot
bad been issued against nun lor the costs,
and tbe prisoner bad been placed in the
custody of young Schriver, who was town
ship constable.' 'Jordan : made his escape
the, same evening, and .-nothing more;, was
heard of him until the night of the 26th of
July.- 'When it was mentioned that Jor
dan bad gone In tbe direction 01 his house,
Jones made the remark that now was the
time to take him, and advised Schriver to
summon ''Dudley and his gun,'' as be ex
pressed it, to help in the matter. - Schriver
accordingly summoned John Dudley and
William Jones to go with him and look for
Jordan; . Arrived at a point un the county

to tbe same spot on the road for further
consultation, after, which they returned to
the house, took another; observation,, and
then withdrew for consultation again. This
time the question arose as to whether they
should shoot the' prisoner if be should try
to escape, and Schriver said there"wau6
