ck to England. Feeling insecure at Cambridge, the regicides fled to New Haven, where the Rev. Mr. Davenport and the citizens generally did what they could to protect them.

There is still to be seen in New Haven the cave, known as the Judges' Cave, wherein they took refuge from the King's officers. Finally, in 1664, they went to Hadley, Mass., where they remained, in absolute seclusion, in the house of Rev. Mr. Russell, for about fifteen years.
