Dudley Page, a neighbor familiar with the history of the .old jail and its location, is au- thority for identification of the wall. ‘The jail, destroyed by fire in 1862, was rebuilt at another site. Gambrill said the prisoners were ! | moved from Baltimore to Frederick. . | A plot to free them failed and a spe- i | cial court sentenced seven of the pris- oners to death for high treason. The concluding words of the sen- tence were: “You shall be carried to the gaol | | of Frederick, and be hanged therein and you shall be cut down to the earth alive.” The sentence then gives detailed in- structions for carrying out the re- mainder of the gruesome penalty, and ends: “So Lord have mercy on your poor souls.” Four of the prisoners were par- doned before the dread punishment was executed, but the sentence was THE EVENING' STAR., WASHINGTON, D.
