Turned black, as he always did, in a passion.

When DeLancey's horse was taken he offered one hundred guineas to any one who would bring in the thief. Tim Knapp was captured by Robert Emery and Nathaniel Taylor and Charles Merritt who brought him in. At 9. a.m. DeLancey came to Head Quarters according to custom - walked two or three times across the floor, looked very black and exclaimed: "Tim Knapp, prepare to die (meet death?)

Mrs. Edwards cont'd.

You shall be hung before 12 oclock, by the living God!" Knapp was young and good looking from Horseneck. He was first taken to Theophs. Hunts barn, but that (the frame of that) was double girted and consequently unfit. They then took him to Thomas Leggett's, on the Gore Lot Farm, north of the village of West Farms. Theophilus Hunt pitying so young and handsome a man &c, intended to intercede &c, but when the hour of execution came DeLancey drew his sword, and swore by G-d, he would cut off the first damned rascal's head that dared to intercede.

A black man (Lunnon), a fidler, was the executioner, and received Knapp's suit of clothes which was very fine as compensation.
