No attempt was made to arrest any of the persons ; I consider- ed it a dangerous experiment. The most cf those who had charge of the cannon were boys from fourteen to nineteen yearsof age. I should not know them now ; did not see Cook nor Andrew M’Lain present ; one of the guns was taken from the upper side of Almond street whart, and belong- ed to Captain Dunlevy.

I had got home before the firing of the cannon commenced ; I did not see the citizens resist ; two cannon were fired after I went down gain; I did not see any persons with pistols or muskets The district is peaceful at present; and there appears to be no disposition to riot or disturb the peace. I know of a proposition having been made to General Patterson to withdraw the mili- tary; I do not know the names of the persons who made the suggestion. Henry L. Benner sworn.—I am President of the Board of Commissioners of Southwark ; I did not witness any of the disturbance ; I was at the church on Sunday morning; saw a crowd in front with a battering ram ; they wanted Mr. Naylor re- leased ; Alderman Hortz came forward finally and told them that he was gone; 1 did not recegnize any of them as citizens of the District of South- wark; I saw the persons dragging the cannon away ; did not know any of them; do not know that there was any concert of action between those on the front and in the rear. The crowd dispersed when Alderman Hortz told them that Mr. Naylor had gone. The district is quite peaceable ; there does not appear to be the slightest disposition to resist the laws ; the difficulty I consider entirely at an end. z Wm. J. Crans sworn.—On Friday evening, about 10 o’clock, I heard a large concourse of per- sons in Queen street, at the church; went down and found a number of persons collected there who were making use of very exciting language ; did not know any of them. On Sunday morning i heard of the riot at the church, and felt alarmed. About 11 o’clock { heard a noise, and on looking out saw a crowd. 1 understood that Mr. Naylor had been released ; ] have seen cannon in the hands of persons—not of the military ; about 6 o’clock on Monday morning, Isaw a Pe of ordnance brought out from an alley, called Haggerty’s Ailey, which was lashed on adray. It was hauled down Fifth street. I recognized two persons who had hold ot the rope. (The witness here gave their names, which an officer of the Court has requested us not to publish.) {am of the opiniou that they wanted to get it out of the way. Met one of them on Sun- day evening,and said to him in a jocular way, “why, you have not been killed yet”—he exclaimed ‘Oh, the murderers, we'll give them h—Il yet before night.” Heard the Teport of cannon on Monday afiernoon,and was to'd that they were firing minute guns during the burial uf Cooke. Alderman Hortz sworn—The Church is in my Ward; my office is not twenty yards trom the church; I was called upon on Friday evening about 7 o’clock by the Sherifl; I had previously sent a note to him requesting his presence; I went into the church; about 250 persons were on the outside; they were clamoring loudly to have the arms taken out of the church. I did not know any of them.

On Sunday, a number of persons congregated in front of the church; there was much noise and confusion; they all seemed desirous that Mr, Naylor should be released. {In the course of the morning a cannon was brought up Queenstreet and placed im front of the church; they threatened to fire uuless Mr. N. should be wren up; I told them not to fire, or the military would fire in return — Some one suid | was right; I then steoped down, took up a handful of water out of the gutter, ani poured it on the touch-hole. Some persons had a post about ten feet long, which they were beating against the door; when Naylor was released he went up on the steps and requested the crowd, to go home; theywere all strangers to me;I heard,the firing of can- non in the reay of the church; I saw the persons come out of the church wheu the military came down on Sunday afternoon; can't tell how many were inthe streets at the (ime; [ heard the seldiers tell the crowd to stand back ; they were composed ‘ jersoas: principally who came out ot the church, and were getting out of the way as fast as possible. I did not sve any of the persons who fired at the military; 1 saw asmall boy witha stone in his hand, which I took from him; the district is at pce pertectly quiet; 1 am not aware of there eing arms in the hands of the citizens, to resist the autnonties ; { think the disturbance entirely suppressed ; on Monday afternoon the general d: sire seemed to be to have the military remove: there was much exciting language ; do not kuow any person who engaged in the disturbunce ; I saw Mr. Levin speaking to the people on Sunday morn- ings but 1 was not near enough to hear wha: he sald. Huaa Cassevy (police officer,) sworn.—I have witnessed most of the disturbance. [The testi- mony of Mr. Cassedy, as to the early part of the disturbance, was the same es that of others, with very little variation.] On Sunday morning | was there when Mr. Naylor was released ; | saw the cannon brought up, and Alderman Hortz and my- selt took possession of it; some man insisted tnat the gun should be fired; the Alderman took some water and poured into the touch hole; Mr. Naylor was afterwards liberated ; 1 do not know any per- son engaged in the disturbance ; there was turmoil there tll about five or six o’clock, when the people were dispersing, and I hoped that peace would be again restored, At the time ef the firing ] was in the rear of the Commissioners’ Hall; I did not see any of the persons fire upon the military ; the dis- trict at present is 10 a state of permanent quiet, as [ think ; there is some talking and some little ex- citement, nothing more ; I know of no arms being secreted, nor of apy combination to resist the authorities. Faas Tuomas McCutty, sworn—I reside in Front st., below Almond ; I was not present when any of the riots took place; on Sunday [ saw a mob, and was told they had a cannon; I saw a mob on Sunday tn front of John M’Coy’s house; Thomas Burns and Michael Fitzgerald were present; I have heard that Andrew (Lane was there; Ido not know any person in the district who 18 disposed to resist the authorities; I consider the removal of the military on Monday a virtual surrender to the mob; { beheve a large number of persons have been in- duced through fear to oppose the military ; I was at the corner of Second and Queen on Sunday after- neon, but saw no tumult ; my impression is, that if the military had not come down, the church would have been destroyed. . Joun Towe., sworn—Mr. Towell is the consta- ble of the 4th ward, Southwark; he was present most of the time, and his testimony was the same as the othere, with the exception that he gave a more detailed account of the conduct of the persons inside the church on Sunday afternoon. Some boys got a picture representing the scourge of Christ; it was held up, and there was cheering; several persons interfered and took the picture trom them; the church was open, and people going in and out all the afternoon ; towards evening the citizens got possession of the church, and drove the boys out, and kept possession of it. When the military came dowa, some one said that 1 would have to leave ; eee that I had the Sheriff's authority, and would stay. Shortly after an officer came and took posseesion ; I saw some of the per- sons who were in the church backed out by the military: one of the Tie ean had a skirmish with some ot the boys, and I The eard the word fire order was obeyed; some were shot down; some crippled ; I heard ‘Alderman McKinley ask General Cadwatlader what shouid be done wish the prisoa- ers, he replied we will take no more, we w shoot them. Alderman McKinley said you had better noist the bloody flagif you are going to shootdown citizens in cold bluod; 1 went down to the Com missioners’ Hall, when I heard that persons were taking the out arms; Ido not know any person who was actively engaged in the disturbance ; 1 do fot know of cannon or arms bemg secreted any where in the district; 1 have heard such a rumor ;, I consider the disturbance suppressed. AFTERNOON SESSION. {Col. Cope, of Southwark, was examined during our temporary absence. We learn, however, that nothing of any general interest was elicited from the Colonel } Rosert Carter, sworn.—I reside at the corner of Fifth and Queen streeta—keepthe Fourth Ware House, and was at home on Saturday evening and part of Sunday. A committee of ¢ upon me about dark, on Sunday evening, and ad- vised me to close my house. I did so. The military tired before 1 closed; it was the discharge of mus- ketry; cannot say at what time | first heord cannon discharged; saw rioters making preparations to load a cannon at Front and Queen early afier dark; there were only three or four active rioters; abont twenty or thirty persons looking on; cannon was on small wheels; looked \ike a ship’s canvon; can- aot tell the calibre; the persons around it looked like seafaring men; strangers to me; the cannon was not fired while I was present—they were load ing it in Front street above Queen; it was fired sometime after I left; there was a cannon at Fifth and Queen; I heard it fired once; it did not look like the gunI saw at Front and Queen; it war lashed on a dray; mostly young men around it; one had a red shirt on; saw no sailors; it was found next morning in Hagerty’s Alley; [ do not know of any fire arms being secreted in the Distric! of Soutn- wark, nor of any people who intend to resist the civil authorities. J. N. J. Dovauass, sworn.—I am Captain of the Watch of the Disirict of Southwark; I was on duty on Feiday and Saturday nighis; T hardly know whether I was uty on Saturday night or not; the military seemed to hold sway; I laid down to take a nap on Sunday eve- ning, as I was tired out by over-exertion the few preceding nights, on account of the distur- bances between the firemen; a messenger from Al- derman Hortz aroused me; he told me there was serious apprehensions of an outbreak, and that | was wanted; | wentdown to the Alderman’s; found a number of the watch already assembled; 1 had double watch on during the fire riots, and had o} the Fourth of July spoken to Mr. McCoy, chair- man of Watch Committee, about discharging the extra watch, as every thing was so remarkably uiet; Alderman Hortz informed me that he anti- cipated an attack on the Catholic Church opposite; saw a considerable crowd collected about the chureh; mustered all the watchmen I could, and cleared the mob fro:n the front of the church; wa: told that a furniture car load of arms had been openly taken into the church; denied this, not that [ disbelieved it, but for the porpase of appeasing the mob; at this time the Sheriff arrived on the ground; the mob became. clamorous, and cried out, ** Give us the arms—give us the arms thatthe have got to shoot us down with!” The Sheri went into the church, and brought out 12 new mus- kets; [ handed them to the watchmen, und headed them, and we marched around to the hall, amid hooting and groaning—cheering and sneerin posited the muskets in the watch house; understoo more arms were inthe church; marched back; the crowd were very noisy—two or three of them were arrested; one, arrested by George Coflee, had a loaded towling piece in his possession; said he bad been gunning, and offered to show his birds; the mob rescued both him and the gun; the others were reacued also; Penrose Ash advised one of the rescu- ed men to go home, and he promised to do so; the Sheriff regularly authorised a prominent man, Wright Ardis, to detail twenty men to enter the church, for the purpose of allaying the excitement outside. Mr. Ardis attempted to make a speech ; the men were detailed ; they entered the church, and promised to protect it until aa when they would give the citizens satisfaction ; had my force on the pavement front of the Church en- deavoring to keep the mob back; immediately af ter the men entered the church I heard them sound- ing empty muskets with ramreds; I was fearful lest the mob should hear thei ; 1t would hada bad eflect if they had, as the men who had entered the church said they would not make any search until morning ; at this moment Capt. Hill arrived on the ground his company, dispersed the mob, and placed a guard of his men at coroers of 2d and 3d and Queen; | advised the Sheriff and Capt. Hill to move the arms in he church immediately, as the street wes clear ; Alderman Hortz w opinion as myself. We entered the chure in the aisle a revere altercation took place be- tween W.¥H §§Dunnt and the committee, about Mr. Dunn acted very in- armed men in a closet. discreetly ; Dunn, the priest, came to the door and thanked the soldiers for their timely arrival to save them from all being burned up. We found 29 mus. kets, including the 12 I mentioned, nearly all of them loaded—some had eight finger loads in them, 1 remarked at the time they must have been loaded by ‘‘foolish Irishmen,” for had they been fired off they would inevitably have burst; about 70 stand of arms were found in all; a number of them were shot guns; two boxes of cartridges, made ont of buck-shot and slugs, a | box resembling a contribution containing bails, part | of a new keg of powder, some pistols and five or| six bayonets fixed on broom-handlee, were found ; indifferent parts of the church; put all the arms in | a cell at ibe watch-house, and locked them up — | This wasjon Friday night—teturned to the church about two o’clock, and found the crowd pretty much dispersed; the Sheriff summoned his 20 men | to the watch-house, made a pertinent speech to! them, and discharged them until 6 o’clock on Sa- turday evening. On Saturday afternoon 1 went down to Alderman Hortz’s ; consulted A. Cozzens about organizing men to take charge of the church. Cupt. Hill had determined to withdraw from the church, as his men had received nothing to eat or drink during the time they had been on duty; Capt. Hill said he had been neglected by his superior offi- r._ I replied to him “for God’s sake donot leave, and I wit get your men something to eat, at all hazards.” 1 immediately started in quest of pro- visions, [ went to Eadie’s; he could not furnish any- thing—met Mr. Lentz, and we went in company to Mrs. Glemen’s, and A. Coffin’s; neither were pre- pared to furnish anything; finaily went to Harvey’s, corner of Second and L inbard, who undertook to urnish us with a hurried dinner; returned to the chureh, and found Capt Hill had been relieved and gone; on Saturday evening, | headed the watchmen, and in company with the Sheriff and military dis- persed the crowds and groups of people that had con- ty more the corners; arrested 12 or 13; on Sun- day morning the cases were disposed of betore Al- derman Saundersat the watch house; six were dis- charged, some bound over, and two gent to prison; of the two arrested by the Sheriff, one was bound over in the sum of $500, and the other committed ; do not knew the names of any of them. About 10 or 12 o’clock I heard a tremendous roar; 1 think | heard a shot or two fired; I received a message 1 was wanted at Mr McCoy’s; | went to see him; allayed his fears; told him he need fear no one, except one or two political enemies; his wife was almost frantic, unhanging looking glasses, and pi: tures; I persuaded McCoy to lock up his house ; he did so and gave me the keys; I felt ill and went home ebont sundown to tea; afterwards went out and heard of the Hibernia Greens firing ; I stop, ed at Third and Shippen; saw the military go down; I then went down to Alderman Hortz’s, and found the military in possession ot the church ; heard no report of. firearms; went to the Commissioners’ ‘all; heard a man’s brains had been blown out, and found the mob taking the muskets out of the watch house; went to Col. Pleasonton and Capt Scott, and informed them that the mob had seized the arms in the Hall; amilitary company was de- spatched to the Hall; I reached the back entrance of the Hall, and found eight or ten empty mus- kets; the mob and military had a severe “‘skrim- mage ;” I Jocked up the arms and gave the Captain thekey; the soldiers were inside of the basement of the Com jioners’ Hall, aud the crowd outside. Alderman M‘Kinley and others tried to force their way in with a dead man—captain told them they could not come in. The Alderman re- plied that they had adead man, and wanted to now “if there was no rest for the dead?” He was to take him up stairs; to which he replied, ** [have a right here—I will let you know my authority is a litle higher than ieee? am in authority.” ‘If you donot retire, [tl fire.” ** You have murdered citizens enough alieady,” cried the mob. A man tapped the Alderman on the back, and said, ‘I will stand by you.” The most intense excitement now reveled the captain requested me to go to Capt. Scott for a reinforcement, but L thought discretion the betrer part of valor, and said as I opened one of the cell doors, “Ihave put many a prisoner in here, and, now I will get in mysell;” by this time the mob had gone round to the west door of the hall, and tried to force it opea; I thought it a fa- vorable opportunity to escape; I went up and in- formed them that the east door was open; went up Second street; things looked awful; eaw a ficld piece porated down Second street; showed my re spect to the military by taking off my hat; informed them who | was, and was conducted to the presence of Captain Scott and Colonel Plea- sonton; informed them of the state of af- fairs at the Hall; they detailed a company to render assistance to the SOnPANY, atthe Hall, and asked me to head them, but | declined perempton- ly; I started dewn to Toram’s; found a large mub at Front and Catharine; did not recognize any of them; some of them had muskets; went to McCoy’s ut Front and Mead etreets, then went to Swanson street, saw men tinkering at a cannon in Swansou strect, above Mead; do not know how many there were; my men had become squandered; I return- +d to M‘Coy’s and found a crowd in fiont of his door, threatening to tear his house down if they did not get powder; they had a cannon with them; iid’nt know any of vhein; about two o’clock ali was quiet; Ireturned to the watch house; found every thing upside down; the muskets, emunition, Se. found in the Church were taken away; nothis: vise was disturbed; weut up stairs; saw three dea men, one of them, Wm.

Judge Jones next called up Mr. William: who keeps a@ grocery store at the corner of Parham’s alley and Swanson street. Mr. Wil- iiams was charged with supplying the rioters with ammunition on Sunday. It appeared from his statement that he was compelled to do so by the threats of persons who surrounded his house. He was discharged on his own recognizance until thir Roving Mr. Kelly was next called up, charged with aid- ing in removing a cannon from Hagerty’s alley on Monday morning. Alter a lengthy hearing he war discharged. ' The examinations here closed for the day. To THE Punic —Feeling called upon by a sense of duty to our fellow. citizens of the City and County. of Philadelphia, we, the undersigned, would beg leave to make a ‘statement of a few simple and unvarnished facts, calculated to throw light upon the recent breach of the peace in the neighborhood of Secend nnd Queen streets, South- wark. Tt is well known, that on the 5th day of ys a furniture car conveyed to St. Philip de Neri Church, in Queen street, Southwark, a number ot muskets, which were carried into the chureh, in presence of the residents of the neighborhood. The report of this pate nave flown in every direction, the street was soon crowded by citizens, in antici- pation of an outbreak. The sheriff was sent for, and soon appeared upon the ground ; a request was made upon him, that the arms, hould be taken from the church; he entered the building with two of the aldermen of the district, and soon returned, stating that there were twelve muskets in the church, which would be placed in the hands of the citizens who should be chosen for that purpose, and taken to the watchhouse. This was accordingly done. ne of the members of this committee was among those whe had charge of these arms; he asked the Sheriff if there was any more arms, or men, in the church. The Sheriff said there was no more arms, and only priest Dunn and the sexton in the church, when the guns had been brought from the buildin, The people still seemed not to be satisfied, and call- ed for more arms, when it was suggested that a committee of citizens should be appointed, whose duty it should be to make a thorough search of the place, and to prevent any more arms coming in, or going out. To thisthe Sherift agreed, and depu tised one of the citizens, who is a member of thir committee, to choose the men. The subscribers were chosen, and headed by the Sheriff, who re quested Alderman M’Kinley to accompany the committee, we entered the house. We had hardly arrived within the wails, when the Sheriff enrolled usas his posse, and informed us that we should have toremain on duty all night and protect the urch. We objected to this view of the and stated the object for which it was understood we had been appointed; he then demurred, and stated 1t was illegal for us to search the premises—that there was danger in it, but if it were deferred until morning, he would make the search with us. This would notbe listened to by the committee, as it would leave us at the mercy of persons who might be in the church, we all being anarmed ; the priest told us to have confidence in the Sheriff, and in him, and he would assure us there was no danger in waiting until morning. The Committee concluded to parley no longer, and started upon the search. The first door we op- ened revealed to ustwo able bodied Irishmen, with fixed bayonets and loaded muskets. These men were disarmed, and on opening the door at which they stood sentry, we saw muskets stacked along the room. Placing out of our number a guard over these men and muskeis, we proce ed- ed on the search, and on our way found eight other men armed as above. Arriving in the room in which the religious services were held, one of the Committee brought the priest in front of the altar, NDAY MORNING, JULY 14, 1844. and thus addressed him’: I ask you upon your sa- | ered word as aman and Christian, hav>.you any more men here? Have you any more arms !— Have you any ammunition? To each of these questions he answered positively no. Finding nothing new in our progress, we again proceeded to the room or vestibule from whence we first started. In this room were several closets, and some of them were in a case or counter, which stood along the wall. We asked the priest to open it. He said it contained nothing But a few lemons and articles for making some- thing to drink. We asked him gain to open it, when we discoved a keg of powder, some percus- sion cups and buck shot; end on account of this quibbling of the priest, we were anxious to open a closet which was under the stairs, leading from the vestibue to theroom behind the altar. The prieet here said that the closet contained private property ; belonging to his brother, W. H. Dunn, and some lew nat articles belonging to himselt, and objec- ted to open it, stating that the key of that place had never been in the hands of any other person but himself and brother. No denial would be lis- tened to, and accordingly the closet was opened; in itwas found seven single and two double barrel guas and several pistols ; and several hundred curt- ridges, some of which had eight, ten, or more slugs, and buck shot iv them, and upon examina- tion of some the fowling pieces, they had seven, eight, and even nine finger loads in them Upsn this the gentleman who spoke to the Priest at the altar, mentioned the conversa- tion to Mr. Wm. H. Dunn, who denied that his brother had said any such thing; he brought his brother to the Priest to contront the gentlemun. and he also denied with regard to the arms aw ammunition, and said that he had misunderstood the questions, or had been misunderstood himself We hed been in every part of the h. use, und now our search was ended We found thirty. mius- kets, including thore stacked 1n the room and thore the hands of the men; nine pistois, two swords, seven single barrel and two double barrel guos, three pikes or b youets fixed on pieces of wood, similar to brush handles. ‘These were all taken by the police to the Commissioners’ Hall, together with the keg of gunpowder and cartridges, and ball and buck shot. At about two o’ciock on Saturday morning, the City Guards, were in the church under command of Captain Hill, having just arrt- ved. After having finished the search, William H. Dunn made an address to such of the commit- tee as were present, in which he stated that for fear any wrong impressions mightgo abroad against the Sheriff, himself and his brother, he would say that he told the Sheriff the number of men and arms that were in the church, and would say further, that they had been on the premises 81 the eighth or tenth of June, having been obtained by an order from Governor Porter, and that he, William H. Duon, held a commission from Gen Hubbell, constituung him a genta of a company of men to defend the church. He also said that on the evening ot the 4th of July, he had one hundred and fifty men in the house drilling them. The sheriff said he knew of the arms being in the church, having been told by the Priest and Mr. W. H. Dunn; and subsequently the Priest stated that he had received on the 4th of July, # letter stating that the church would be fired on the 4th, 5th, or 12th of July—hence the necessity of arming the building. ‘The nuines of the persons found in the church with Priest Dunn, have been handed over to the proper authorities, These men the Sheriff said should be reached by law, it any law couid reach them; they were discharged and are not yet arrested! This we conceive to be a fair statement of the cir- cumstances connected with the church; we believe nothing is knowingly withheld, or too glowingly portrayed; we leave it to our fellow citizens 10 draw vheir own conclusions. And though all of us cannot (.n account of being separated on duty and stationed at different points,) testuly to the same things, yet the statements of each, taken in the aggregate, will fully sustain this report. dopted in Committee, Sati 1844.

LreraL.—The subscription for the families of the killed and wounded soidiers, already amounis to nearly $5,000. Tue Troors.—Our military friends in the city are numerous and well appointed, but we never saw a body of men so unobtrusive. They are <carcely to be seen, unless in their progress to cr from head quarters. They seem to feel that th duty of the citizen is connected with the disci- pline of the soldier, and that they are as much concerned to preserve the proprieties of the time and place, as are the aged and retired residents of the city. We could not have expected much dif ferent conduct from men who constitute a part of the most useful portion of our citizens, though i might have been apprehended that youth, and the; separate association, would have led them at tim to indiscretion. Such, however, has not been the case; and the citizens of Phil delphia, when they express their gratitude to their ape defenders, will find no less cause for thankfulness in the gen- tlemanly deportment and, orderly bearing of those who so admirably sustained the soldier’s charac ter. Anotier oF THE WounnED Drap —Elijah Jes- ter, another of the persons shot in Southwark by the military, died last evening in the hospital.

The murder was committed about six o'clock in the evening, by an vimed mob, of 150 to 200 inen, painted red, black and yellow, who surrounded the jail, forced 17, and poured # rhower of builets into the room where the men were con- fined. Each of the victims received four bails in ody, and John Tayler, editcr of the Nausoo Neighbor, was shot in four places, but not seriously injured. About three o’clock the next day, ne bodirs of “the noble martyr” were received at Nauvoo. They were met—the paper says—** by a great assemblage of perple, east of the Temple, on Mulholland street, under the direction ef the city marshal, followed by Samue! H. Smith, bro- ther of the deceased, Dr Kiclwids and Mr. Ha- milton, of Carthage. The wo, were guarded by eight men. The procession that followed in Nauvoo, was the City Couneil, the Lieutenant General’s Stefl, the Major General and Stuff, the Brigadier and Staff, commanders and « flicers of the Legion, and citizens generally, numbering several thousands, amid the most solemn iumenta- tions and wailings that ever ascended into the ears of the Lord ef Hosts, to be avenged of our ene- mies!” J When the procession arrived, the bodies were both taken into the “ Nauvoo Munsion” The scene at the Mansion cannot be described ; the audience were addressed by Dr. Richards, Judge Phelps, and Messrs.

He enjoys the confidence of all parties. M Capt. Anderson, of the Osprey, arrived yesterday, states that he stopped his boat at Warsaw, whilst Mr. Jonas, the State Cominissioner, addressed the citizens of that place. He appealed to them to aid the Governor in his efforts to preserve the public peace, but no approving response was mede. “On the contrary, one gentleman stepped from the crowd and stated that a committee of citizens were in communication with the Governor cn the subject, and that their determination was that eitlur the s.ormons must be compelled to quit the country or they would.” We trust that Gov. Ford will act decisively with the vurbulent spirits at Warsaw. Their conduct, if correctly represented, is 4 disgrace to their town and to the State. The Nauvoo Neighbor states that when Gov. Ford heard of the assassination of Joe Smith, he was thunder struck apd fied.
