| morning witness went INTO Inc ONCE went
in for his own curiosity. Does not recol-
lect any particular object; examined the
contents of the pail; looked out of the Of
flee window; walked across the floor
recolecis nothing further that witness did,
concluded not 10 throw out the slops, but
| TO let Flint throw out his own slops-can-
not say that he mentioned TO any one the
suspicious appearance of the slops; they
were very dark. The inquest was then in
session did not communicate the fact of
the Stops to the inquest, nor his conversa-,
tion with Flint; cannot name any one to
whom he communicated them facts at that
time; on the way to Augusta, Fliut said he
should testify against the Dr.--his testimo-
ny would bear against the Dr.--the crime
was very enormous it could not be con-
ceaed: thought the DR.. must be guilty
may have said he thought he would be
hung. Witness may have said Flint would
do better to be careful, and not rely on the
truth. Never advised him not to disclose:
does not recolect saying 10 him that when
a man refused 10 testify, in one case, he
was imprisoned short time, and then re-
leased. May have said to him that he was
placed in delicate position. Cannot say
that the Stops excited his suspicious: talk
ed with Chandler some time abou: them
witnesses reason for not throwing Out the
Stops was as stated. The only thing that
excited his suspicion was Flin,'s asking
him te turn the slops out. The pail was
nearly full it was as likely 70 assume that
appearance as any. On Monday night,
witness slept with DR.. c. the first time, al
so Tuesday night Wednesday night was
in No.. 2 with DR.. Coolidge, Flint and Aver
it is the parlor above; two beds there. On
DR.. c. and Aver. Was frequently with
Dr. c.; did not spend much of the time with
DR.. c. Witness objected to persons see
ing DR.. G. at times, when the DIR. requested
it. May have .old Mrs. Williams not 10
let people see the DR.. Does not recollect
telling her she must not let people talk
with the Dr., for fear he might commit
himself. May have used such language.
On Saturday after the death OF Mathews,
witness wrote a bill of sale in DR.. C's Of
fce of the Dr's horse and carriage, he
thinks, to Flint. P. l.. Chandler was
there with witness. Flint requested the
papers TO be written; Coolidge was not
present. Went to Coolidge's office; found
him there. Coolidge signed the bill Of
sale; witness witnessed it,; did not witt
ness the delivery. Understood it to be a
bona fde sale; saw nothing paid. Mr..
Chandler wrote other instruments of more
importance. These papers were burned
ihiuks Flint burned them. Witness was
present; thinks CIR. c.. was there; the
parties consented. There was another
disposition made of the property; it was
assigned by DR.. Coolidge TO Mr.. Moves.
Does not know that Flint had anything,
or received anything when the papers were
burned; does not say that 1t was not a
bona 6de transaction. Does not know
anything about Flint taking the acid bot
ties. Does not know that Coolidge's case
of instruments were taken away, nor who
took them. Had talk with prisoner
about the contents Of The stomach having
been analysed told DIR. c.. in Nov. I'd,
that it had been analysed, and what was
found in it. One or two were present.
Never saw the acid bottle in Nov. I'd.
Direct resumed Was there Wednesday
night making a schedule of CooEdge's
property to assign TO Parker g. Phillips.
After it was made out, they declined. Mr..
Moves sent the witness TO make the papers,
as he was about 10 leave home. The as
Segment was made TO Noyes in his abb
sence. Identifies the day book of Dr.C
Cross Examined. Has read the testimo-
nv of the other witnesses up 10 Friday
