pressions of the most deadly hate to Mr.. Parker

and Bromsgroye fair day, the very day of Mr. Par
kers murder, he stated he hoped he would find dead
Parson before him at home Gentlemen, lie did lind
dead ParSon before him at home, and will produce
u witness to show that he knew what became Of

which shall read To you.
