All the timeThat whilst he was so Standing
<
lb

</
lb
>
Informant himself went And took hold of the Cord which
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
was on his Wrist in Order to Pull him out But Let it
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
go, again And Then with the Help of another Person
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
got hold of his HandThat he seemed unwilling
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to be pulled out (Informant thinks he was afraid of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
his being Pushed in again) his Eyes being then both
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Closed upThat Informant Let him go
<
lb

</
lb

A Man Came up to Informant and Said Your Name is
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Clarke And his Name is Clarke And Ill Put You in
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for Your Name sake And Attempted to Push in Informt.
<
lb

</
lb

That the Deceased Cryed for Gods sake to Let him out
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Spoke
<
del

for
</
del
>
very ThickThat his Head and Shoulders
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
were all over BloodThat the Man who told
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Informant his Name was Clarke was behind Informant
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
And therefore he says he does not Know who He was
<
lb
>
</
lb

That afterwards
<
del

Informant
</
del
>
(as the Deceased Attempted
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to get Out) Informant Saw a Man in his Shirt without
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Coat or Waistcoat Put his Foot against his Head or
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Shoulders and Stove to Push him under the Water
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
But the Deceased still Kept his Legs and only Bent down
<
lb
>
</
lb

Saith he was at that time on the Other side the Pit
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
And cannot tell who that Man was in the Shirt
<
lb
>
</
lb

That then Informant went wound to the Deceased and
<
lb
>
</
lb

Askd' the Mob whether if Informant Pulled him out
<
lb

</
lb
