denied all knowledge of the deed, but
tne fact wu soon established that each
a proceeding had actually taken place,

and overpowered him.' Hismou h was
stuffed full of cotton, and he wu car
ried to a deserted part of town near
Wliiddon's Mill and given a sound flog
ging with a thick strap. He says lie
protested against the action, but to no

John Upton maintains stoutly that lie
is innocent of any disrespect or imper

is liis brother^Ciucli. His, pnnishers
paid no heedlo his protest, and remark
ed that they would get the other one
later.
There is absolutely no cine to the per-
petratora-of the deed. Upton says lie
