There, beneath the lion and the unicorn of the old State House, through that historic street, cleared now as for a triumph, marched a company of federal troops. Behind them, in a hollow square, followed a body of rough-appearing men, each with a short Roman sword and a revolver; and in the open centre, alone and handcuffed, one trembling negro.
In the centre of the "A" walked the prisoner, handcuffed and chained like a murderer. When they had arrived in front of the judge and the officers stepped back they left the prisoner exposed to the gaze of the spectators.
But I do believe that you know all about the crime that you were perhaps an eye-witness." For the first time during the interview Robert Grell lost hold of his self-control. His fists clenched and the steel of the handcuffs bit deep into his wrists as he momentarily forgot that he was handcuffed. There was a meaning in Foyle's tone that he could not fail to understand.
As they were still handcuffed by one wrist each, they alighted, took from the drunken assassin's pocket the key, undid the iron bracelets, and placed them upon Slator, who was better fitted to wear such ornaments.
Seventy-six of them were handcuffed and sent under guard, some to Easton and some to Northumberland, where they were thrown into jail. Great was the indignation in New England when these deeds were heard of. The matter had become very serious. A war between Connecticut and Pennsylvania might easily grow out of it.

Then they dragged him away; but not before he bad seen King at the window, and had lipped a silent threat. "I believe you, my son!" King chuckled, half aloud. "I surely believe you! I'll watch! Ham dekta hai!"
He lost no time, sprang at Cooper, and with his long arm landed a blow that knocked him against the wall, and in this position, where his body could not give, struck him again with his whole soul, and cut his cheek right open. The next minute he was pinned, handcuffed, and in a straitjacket, after crippling one assailant with a kick on the knee.
'D'ye think I'm going to be handcuffed like a common criminal? 'They think we're spies, Ken answered. 'They're going to take us to headquarters. It's no use resisting. We must wait our chance. Sullenly Roy ceased struggling, and the handcuffs were snapped on his wrists.
He didn't put up any fight simply looked at them, blew his nose, and followed them up without a word." She stared at him blankly, wondering what more he had to say. "Yes go on. What then?" "They handcuffed him, of course, and let him sit between two of them in the car. He was quite composed, had nothing to say. It was dark inside the car; they couldn't see him very well.
Ralph at once took possession of the stables at the inn, and saw that the prisoners were all handcuffed, the Red ruffian's legs being also securely bound. Then he placed two sentries inside and two out. The news that some of the men had been killed soon spread, and many of the villagers who did not see their relations among the prisoners hurried off toward the scene of action.
