. It was then signed by all present. During the interval between the call for the Convention and its assembling, regular meetings were held at Barbour's Hotel, where we were stopping, by those who were known to be true to the cause, at which meetings plans were laid and discussed. There were no white men at the Convention, save the members of our company. Men and money had both been promised from Chatham and other parts of Canada. When the Convention broke up, news was received that Colonel H. Forbes, who had joined in the movement, had given information to the Government. This, of course, delayed the time of attack. A day or two afterwards most of our party took the boat to Cleveland — J. H. Kagi, Richard Realf, William H. Leeman, Richard Robertson, and Captain Brown remaining. Captain Brown, however, started in a day or two for the East. Kagi, I think, went to some other town in Canada to set up the type, and to get the Constitution printed, which he completed before he retur

He narrated the conversation between Captain Brown and Governor Wise, when the Liberator was confined in the guard house at Harper's Ferry, in which he said that the prisoner stated, in reply to a question, that he thought he had been betrayed to the Secretary of War, but had practised a ruse to prevent suspicion; yet refused to inform them whom he believed to be the traitor, or how he had acted to avert the consequences of the betrayal. John Brown thus alluded to Colonel Forbes and his own third visit to Kansas. During the examination of this witness, a despatch arrived from Cleveland, announcing that Northern counsel would arrive in Charlestown that evening; whereupon the Virginia counsel for John Brown, in his name, asked that the cross-examination might be postponed till the following morning.

He then visited Cook and Coppoc, who were chained together, and remarked to Cook: You have made false statements. Cook asked: What do you mean? Brown answered: Why, by stating that I sent you to Harper's Ferry. Cook replied: Did you not tell me in Pittsburg to come to Harper's Ferry and see if Forbes had made any disclosures? Brown: No, sir; you knew I protested against your coming. Cook replied: Captain Brown, we remember differently, at the same time dropping his head. Brown then turned to Coppic and said: Coppoc, you also made false statements, but I am glad to hear you have contradicted them. Stand up like a man. He also handed him a quarter. He shook both by the hand, and they parted. The prisoner was then taken to Stevens's cell, and they kindly interchanged greeti
