dreadfully dejected. I then went to see the body

Cartel's door ;" I toll her to go back and. not leave
the door without some one, to mind it ; about half

--and returned in a few minutes; as I was coming
•down the lane, I saw •Mrs. Coleman, Avho called me

lter hand, end said to me, " Mrs. Carter is in our
house, and we cannot et her out." She gave me
the key, and I unlorkedo he door, and called " Bessy,
Bessy !" but received no answer. I then rap up stairs,
and there saw my child in the front bed-room, with her
feet, towards the door, and a great deal of blood
about her, and on looking further I discovered her
throat cut and that she was quite dead.
By a Juror—The prisoner was very fond of both
my little girls, and especially this one, who has fre-
quently been there, and took many meals with her.

day morning, Mrs. Carter was washing; she got his
breakfastvas usual ; she had complained-of a pain in
her head for the last week, but did not complain
that morning. Deceased was in the-habit of going

said to me, that "some one was coming for her ;"
and complained of a pain in her head, and appeared

vhich she seemed composed and reconciled.
