1 Under the provisions of the old law, he was at Worcester, confined to the " jail lim- its," for debt. A stranger, entering the apartment where he was sitting, inquired if he was the jailor: "No sir," he replied, "I am the jailee." At another time, in Brookfield, he had a chance interview with the Rev. Dr. Griffin. Though entire stran- gers to each other, they became deeply in- terested in conversation on literary and sci- entific subjects. At length, in the heat of
argument, Mr. Hitchcock uttered some ex- pression bordering on profanity. Instantly perceiving that his language was offensive, he gravely addressed Dr. Griffin, whose noble stature towered, head and shoulders, above his own : "I ought not to have used such words; I ask your pardon; and if I need pardon from a higher source, I beg you to ask it for me, as you are much nearer heaven than I am."
