F. Miller. Another il he had intended to have
given such sum of money to them he would have fixed
is that had communication with Mr. Wells just before
his DEATH and he did not mention thing at all about it.
Then again 1t was SO large sum of money.
MLLER-I can give you better reasons for believing
the note genuine than you have given for believing
forgery; Ne person knowing the family Of Wells ex,
of money; they expected something special. She had
lived in his family she married with Wells consent; my
something handsome As to the sum of money. Mr..
Blackwell and never pretended to fix it, think 5000
very small sum; If it hal been $4,000, people would
have thought it more proper and reasonable. Another
is that Charles and Martha two years previous

generally known that he had such note Dr. Wells
and DR.. Adams knew Off The note drawn ayable
three years after date. These better reasons to be-
ieve genuine than yours to believe counterfeit In

Charles said Uncle il you will give me pen, ink and

men to show the Of the present testimony

statement he made yesterday wit if the othe party
will produce Mrs Charles F. Miller and if she will say

sue before him. The evidence therefore closed
