The guard marched all night, and in the morning of the next day, September 26th, Andre arrived at Robinson's house, in the custody of Major Tallmadge."a From whence he was taken the same evening to West Point.

" Early on the morrow," says Sargent, " Andre was sent over to South or Lower Salem, to the head quarters of Sheldon's regiment.

About eight a.m.,, then, on September 24th, Andre was brought to the Gilbert farm-house, and committed to the custody of Lieut. King, of the Dragoons, who has left us this account of what ensued :

" He looked somewhat like a reduced gentleman. His small-clothes were nankeen, with handsome white-top boots -- in fact, his undress military clothes. His coat, purple, with gold lace, worn somewhat threadbare, with a small trimmed tarnished beaver on his head. He wore his hair in a queue, with long black beard, and his clothes somewhat dirty. In this garb, I took charge of him. After breakfast my barber came into dress me, after which I requested him to go through the same operation, which he did. When the ribbon was taken from his hair, I observed it full of powder ; this circumstance, with others that occurred, induced me to believe I had no ordinary person in charge. He requested permission to take to the bed, whilst his shirt and small clothes could be washed. I told him that was needless; for a shirt was at his service, which he accepted. We were close pent up in a bedroom, with a vidette at the door and window. There was a spacious yard before the door, which he desired he might be permitted to walk in with me. I accordingly disposed of my guard in such a manner as to prevent an escape. While walking together he observed he must make a confidant of somebody, and knew not a more proper person than myself, as I had appeared to befriend a stranger in distress.
