Previously to starting out Giddins had a pistol, which he requested the witness to carry, but witness declined.

Giddins had something else with him, which the witness did not recognize.

When they came within about two rods of the magazine, Giddins went up to the door and something was said inside the door.

From the old records it seemed that the evidence tracing Morgan to the magazine of old Fort Niagara was satisfactory to court and jury; but what became of him no man knows.

In January, 1827, the fort and magazine were visited by certain committees appointed to make investigations, who reported in detail the condition of the magazine, which seemed to indicate that some one had been confined therein not long before, and that the prisoner had made violent and reiterated efforts to force his way out.
