Artillery Co., and became one of the original members of the Co. of National Lancers. During the R. I. troubles Col. H.'s sympathies were unfortunately so enlisted on the side of Dorr and confederates as to hurry him into their service ; and he was among the 136 prisoners taken at Chepatchet, and the man first selected by the State's attorney for examinations, during the pendency of which he succeeded in making his escape.
