Rocketts (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
ursued Griffin down Elm street, when the deceased turned and fired at Sergeant Keith. Keith then fired at him, but did not hit him. The deceased then ran towards Rocketts street, and down that street. We pursued him. The deceased afterwards stopped and snapped his pistol twice at Keith. Keith had taken a rifle from me, which he now fired at deceased, who fell at the crack of the rifle. The foregoing is the substance of all the evidence cheited. Upon this, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased "came to his death by a bullet fired from a rifle in the hands of D. A. Keith, on the afternoon of the 23d of September, 1861, in Rocketts, near the corner of Elm street." It was so clearly a case of justifiable homicide, that Alderman Sanxay did not think it necessary or proper to order Sergeant Keith to be taken into the custody of the police, and he was accordingly permitted to go at large upon his own recognizance to appear and answer the charge before the Mayor's court.

Alexander then, with his brother-in-law and two men, started for Accomac, down the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Everything went on swimmingly until his arrival at Cumbridge, where, one of the party being recognized by Judge Spence, and he being a relative, Monteith-like, proved a traitor and informed on them.

His escape and subsequent adventures are equal to a Trenck romance. After Colonel Thomas and Alexander had captured the St. Nicholas, they started upon another secret expedition, and by one of those unaccountable accidents the Colonel was captured. Alexander was at this time in charge of a schooner, steering boldly up the Chesapand made for her husband a little garden at his cell window, thus disarming all suspicion that any escape was meditated. Sixteen days ago, everything being in readiness, just after dark, Alexander donned his disguise, and while Col. Zarvona (Thomas) engaged the attention of the sentinel, he slipped by, gained the ramparts, passed over the mortar battery, and sprang from the curtain into the ditch. The fall being great, he discovered, on rising, that he was crippled.--Nothing daunted, he cr

A man, taking the boat for remuneration, carried them in his conveyance to Gen. Johnston's pickets. Alexander speaks very feelingly of his friend, Lieut. Dunott, who, while bearing him on his back, at every alarm turned to face the danger, thus showing the devotion of one soldier to another.

"I am glad to hear it," said Alexander, "for I thought I was in your hands." Here the crowd attempted a rescue; but, overpowered by numbers, Alexander was borne on board the steamer and conveyed to Fort McHenry. His wife, who was in Virginia at the time, immediately saw President Davis, who kindly assured her that everything possible should be done to save him.
