The northern tribune. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1847-1855, 1848-03-20

Cross Examined. Cannot say the exact dis
lance from the Parker House to witness house.
Was requested to get the cord. Saw Math-
ews go up Silver street towards Goodwin S
shop. Should go that way if going to Bou-
telles office, or the Colleges. Did not pay
particular attention to Mathews after he left.
Cannot say whether the shops were open at
that time. Witness went up Silver street to
go home; cannot say Mhich side of the street
he went. No sidewalk on that street. 1t had
been raining that day. and the streets were
some muddy-it was rather dark toggy night.
No crossing below Williams. Thinks Math-
Mathews went up north side Of Silver street.
There is no street leading from Silver street
until you get TO Main street. There is a pri-
vate avenue leading from Silver street.
4. F. 1Ilton sworn. Identifies the watch
and paper enveloping it. On the first day of
October, he was standing in Williams back
yard; something was thrown down from a
loft above the shed which connects the house
and stable occupied for carriages. Witness
took it up, opened the paper and found it was
a watch. The watch was entirely enyeloped
in the paper when he took it up. Witness
carried il into the hall occupied by the jury OF
inquest. On recollection, it was not the first
day of October-it was Tuesday. Cannot say
whether he delivered the watch to any enc, or
laid it on the table in the hall-thinks Mr..
Shaw, the coroner, took it.
Cross Erami,ed Witness had been in the
back yard perhaps half an hour. Thinks it
was about ii clock. He was there on ac-
count of the excitement arising from tie muir
der, and the search that was being made for
the watch and other articles. Was standing
in the stable east of the shed when the witch
was thrown down. Thinks the watch fell on
the floor of the shed-was thrown from a
height of ten or twelve feet. Took it up him.
SELF and carried it to the hall. Cannot swear
positively to the paper thinks it the same.
Recognizes the watch by the blood on its case
there is not so much of the stain now as
then, nor is it so deep. Witness lives in Wa
tervile. Many persons were about when the
watch was found. Witness has been acquaint-
ed with DIR. Coolidge in Watervlle-he has
practised in witness family-knows nothing
bnt his character was good.
George Lincoln sworn. Lives in Waterville.
Was in Shoreys employ last September. Was
in the shop at work on the night of Septem-
Der both, in the second story. The room is
on the same floor with prisoners office. Left
the shop Immediately after the o'clock bell
rang-in five or ten minutes. There were in
the shop Gilman Fellows, Herrck Barton, and
William Lincoln, witness brother. Witness
was there all the evening. The others came
in about eight o'clock. All went out togeth-
err, left the building Immediately and all went
directly home. Thore were Others of Mr.
Shorey's hands in the room overhead, (third
story. There were tive girls there. The en-
try leading to the room above IS connected
with the front entry. The girls in the room
above left Just before witness did. The door
was locked by II. Barton when witness went
out. Those with witness were talking and
laughing while there. Heard persons between
5 and o'clock, going up and down stairs
thinks they must have gone into DR.. C.'s Of
flee, because he cannot tell where else they
they could go. Cannot say whether ordna-
ny noises in the doctors Office could be heard
in witness room. There is the width of the
stairs between. Shorey keeps goods in the
lower shop. Barton was employed most of
the time above. Came up that evening about
o'clock. He was in thu, lower shop until that
time. The cutting room is in the room below
Cross Examined. Does not know whether
the door at the head of the stairs was open or
closed. Carter has all Office in the third story
the persons who came up the stairs may
have gone into Carriers Office Has distinct
recollection of hearing some person going up
the stairs once, if not more. The fact was
spoken of, because two of the boys were play
ing checkers, and they threw the board under
the table when they heard some one coming.
The persons playing were Joseph Fellows and
a Davis boy-they came in the early part of
the vening-thcy went out soon after. Thinks
there was no playing after Barton came up.
Thinks it was about the time that he came up
that the steps were on the stairs. Some work
was done in the shop that evening, but not
much. Coal was burned in the room where
witness was. The wood for the room above
was kept in the cellar. Thinks there was no
fire above that evening. Fire was kept in wit
ness room to keep the irons hot-witness
thinks he did some pressing. Shorey's wood
was in the south side of cellar--Phillips' on
the right side. Witness went down stairs when
the body was found, but did not notice the
