On her return she saw both prisoners coming out of a barn at the end of her cottage. She asked what brought them there? The prisoners answered that they were catching a hare. They immediately ran down the lane, and the widow cried “Murder!” She then proved that the prisoners had broken the wall between the barn into her cottage, and robbed her of her little all. She also missed a razor and 3 purses. The old woman's cries were heard by a young man named Tivory Basker, who pursued the prisoners, who turned round and asked him if he had seen two men in dark clothes who had been robbing an old woman's house? “Yes,” answered Barer, *I do see them, for you are the men.
