Came as far as Hickory Furnace when he was brought to Butler. I've fed him, and witness was going to lose his hands - some objected. And Mohawk pointed to a log-chain, saying tie that round my body and untie my hands so can eat. Afterwards Mr. John Baldwin, a small man had struck or insult ed him, and Mohawk said if they'd untie him he'd fight him.
