e wrested from us and lynched. It was Dr. Crandall's
desire to be taken out of the way of the people, and be carried to the
jail. Before they left the office a crowd had collected, and they made
an effort to get off as quick as possible, being very apprehensive that
Dr. Crandall would suffer some harsh treatment, and serious injury from
them. The event verified his expectations, for he found afterwards that
the carriage was waited for somewhere on the avenue, where it was
expected to pass, by a numerous and excited collection of people.

_Cross examined._--Conversed with Dr. Crandall at his office and on the
way to the jail. Went to his lodgings, and found Emancipators there.
Did not offer to carry him before a magistrate in Georgetown. Told
Dr. Crandall what my apprehensions were for his personal safety, and of
being waylaid, and proposed that he should stay at the jail that night.
He attempted no concealment, and gave witness free leave to search his
papers, &c. Witness found Boston, New York, and Baltimore newspapers,
and a great many Telegraphs. Dr. Crandall opened the trunk himself and
showed the tracts. Don't remember whether they were loose, or tied
together and enveloped. Those were the pamphlets now in court. Don't
recollect whether the letters were brought away. There were many plants
in the office. Don't know what they were put up in. Think it was
pasteboard, or something like it. Asked him if he was Dr. Crandall, to
which he replied yes. Then told him that he was charged with being an
abolition agent and exhibited the warrant for his arrest. He did not
then say any thing about the tracts in his possession, but when they
were found he stated they were sent to him from New York, instead of
the Emancipator, to which he had formerly been a subscriber. He did
remark that he had not distributed any tracts of the kind.

_Question by Key._ Which of the pamphlets did you find at the office,
and which at the house?

_Coxe_ objected to the question.

_Key._ I wish to know which kind were sent to Crandall in the box from
New York.

_Cranch, C. J._, saw no objection to the question.

Witness then stated that he found the Anti-Slavery Reporters in the
office. Did not recollect any others in the office, except the
newspapers. The other tracts, together with some books, were found in
his trunk at the house. Crandall did not say all the papers came in the
box. Did not endeavor to elicit any confessions from Dr. Crandal
