As the executions show no signs of stopping, some of the wealthier prisoners begin to make escape plans using their connections. Hearing that their trial has been scheduled and new evidence is being collected against them, Philip and Mary English enlist more liberal ministers Joshua Moody and Samuel Willard to help them slip out in the middle of the night on Sunday. By the time anyone thinks to check on them Monday morning, the Englishes are already in New York. Sheriff George Corwin immediately goes to their farm, illegally seizes the English’s property, and uses the over one thousand pounds, some of which is squandered and some that goes to jail upkeep.

Nathaniel Cary also helps his wife Elizabeth escape from prison around this time with the help of friends.
