Tewksbury), his parents had a large cage constructed, and in this he was incarcerated.

A post mortem examination was held, and the interior organs were found to be greatly inflamed, no one more than the other. The physician who made the examination, found no evidence of food having been taken into the stomach for a long time, and as a strict watch was kept over him, both day and night, his long fast was attested to by the testi- mony of reliable persons."
