We, whose names are heretofore subscribed, do certify that we have resided in the County of Crawford the most of us upward of five years, and have been acquainted with Joseph Kitchell during that time, and that we have never before heard any charge against him for breaking or opening any Jail for the purpose of letting out any person or persons which had been committed for any crime whatever, and we further state that we fully believe that if any act of that kind had ever taken place that we certainly should have heard of it.
