Full Description:
John Tilton. New York. His sworn statement with regard to the murder of Joshua Huddy and signed by William Walton. Mentions that 'when he was put in irons on the sloop 'Dolpin', he asked Huddy whether he thought it was good usage or not, to which Huddy answered he thought it was not, but as he expected to be exchanged in a few day he hoped to have the killing of him, the deponent and a good many others. The deponent then asked him if he would hang him in case he fell into his hands, as he did the late Stephen Edwards, to which he replied that he did not hang Edwards but only tied the knot.'
