CHAPTER VII.
EXAMINATION AT WESTON, AND COMMITTAL.
AT an early hour in the morning we were,roused from
our uneasy slumbers by men who came in and searched us.
They took from me some papers, my pocket-book, which
contained sixty-eight dollars and a half, and some loose silver change. We were then taken out, handcuffed in pairs,
and marched through the streets to the International Hotel,
for breakfast, as we were told-a welcome word to men who
had not eaten for twenty-four hours. Of course we were
attended through the streets by a yelping crowd of rowdies.
At the hotel, we were placed in a room with glass doors,
in order that the curiosity of the people might thus be gratified. Hundreds of persons came and peered through the
windows of the room to look at us. In a short time the color
ed people were taken down to breakfast, and at last we were
called. On entering the dining-room we found them seated
at table; we took our places at another, which was not
spread. Presently the landlord came to me and said, "Doctor, your breakfast is ready for you there," pointing to the
table at which the colored people were eating.
"Thank you," I replied, "I am not in the habit of eating
with colored people."
"Why," said he, "a man that will steal a nigger is none
too good to eat with niggers."
