ok Tom near the Codori buildings, when he turned upon his pursuer, drew his revolver, aimed and said: Stop, Ben, orI will shoot! Ben said : No, you wont; but stop, Tom, I will shoot! Tom replied: Ben, I cannot shoot you; no other man could take me; I cannot kill you.His surrender followed and the records of the Adams county courts show that in October, 1848, he was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Thus howappropriately linked together the incidents we tried briefly to relate—the Underground Railway Station, located at the old McAllister Grist Mill, where es-caped slaves were piloted to freedom; the Slaveholders Rebellion, broken up on the Stone Wall built by slaves; the surrender of one of the most cruel slavedealers, Tom Finnegan, in later years, all of which having taken place within a radius of one mile. Emphatically may it be said truth is stranger thanfiction, and the real more startling than the imaginary.—From Prof. J. Louis Sowers Notes on Adams County History.
