The body of Sir Rowland was then laid on the large table.

Opposite to it was placed the Jew.

Seeing from the threatening looks of his captors, that they were about to wreak their vengeance upon him, the miserable wretch besought mercy in abject terms, and charged his master with the most atrocious crimes.

His relation of the murder of Sir Rowland petrified even his fierce auditors.
One of the cases in Jonathan's museum was now burst open, and a rope taken from it.

In spite of his shrieks, the miserable Jew was then dragged into the well-hole, and the rope being tied round his neck, he was launched from the bridge.
The vengeance of the assailants did not stop here.
