 Domsel Cob6, father of Lorenzo CGbb:- Calhoun boarded with me: my son got home between 10 and II P. M. Cal 6oun an hour or hour and half after i; don't certainly know. (Shown the pa pers.) Know my sons hand writing; don't think these papers are in the hand writing of Lorenzo. That Saturday l had been away to carry a carding machine :. was in bed when Lorenzo came; when got home, it was ten minutes after or teU minutes before 10. l ate supper and went to bed soon; sat up perhaps five or ten minutes after supper, and shonlG think had not been to bed more than 5 minutes when my son came. He and Calhoun slept in the same room with me- Don't know how long l had been to sleep when Calhoun came. He ate breakfast at my house the next morning about ' or 8 o'clock. Don't know where they went after breakeast-somewhere. Testified at Coiebrook the same as here; never stated that Lorenzo got home trtweeti 2 and s-neyer between and g. [Shown the genuine letter of Cobb.) Don't know wether this is my sons writing or net ; don't know whether the writing on the back of one of the papers is his or not.
 Lunaan Pease.-Know Lorenzo Cobb: on the night of the murder, between 8 and o'clock, was going up from Winsted; he overlook me about half mile north of Winsted east village we went up to- gether about two and half miles met my father. Was on the road leading toe Sandy Brook. Met my father about three>quarters in from Winstedsyilage, Left Cobb at fathers house about 2 miles above the village.
 .Sylvanus Pease.-O On Saturday evc- hing went to Winsted-met my son and Cobb about one mile north, about 8 o. clock-about.two and a half or miles from Doty's saw~mill. Cobb said he had been to N. York or N. Haven. Said nothing about Litch6eld.
 CAauncey Mathematics Cobb on the night of the murder about 20 rods from his fathers house, about l l o'clock --he went north towards home. Have heard Menasseth use the phrases "great excitement out, and hope this side the grave" They are by-phrases of his. Knew Cobb's hand writing. Don't think these papers are in the handwriting of Cobb. Don't think this is in his hand writing. asked about the chest in the bedroom which had been moved from the kitchen to Mir. White-think Calhoun said "they sag it stood in the other room under the window" Think It was not 5 minutes from l 1 when l met Cobb. Think it was ' miles to Winsled village from there. Cobb said he had come from Litchfield. Said he had stopped about half way up and got some supper at Roberts house. Did not say what he had been to Ltch6eld for. l met him about l mile above Whitney's. | was going down the road and he was comiug up. did not pass Whitney's: Cobb said he had been to Litchield and seen Sevrance (who was in prison )- Said nothing about going farther than Litchfield. Left Colebrook that morning took the cars at Burrville. Am not in the habit of reading or writing-can some. Sometimes write-can write little-sometimes write my name, some- times make my mark.
 Lord BidsssN.- think these pa- pers are in the hand writing of Cobb. Think the letter is. Was riding with Cobb past Whites on Saturday after the murder. Mr. White came out and hailed me. Don't recollect as anything was said about Cobb's going away. Told me that day he was going away.
 Edward 1'aintor.-Have seen Mr. Cobb's hand writing. Should not think these papers were in the hand writing of Cobb. Don't know whether the letter is his or not.
 Charles Brewster.- Married the grand daughtel of Barnice White. The men saw that night, Saturday went south aast Never saw Calhoun but once be- fore that tine--should have known him by daylight. Supposed the other two to he Manasseth and Balcomb--was at mv own house-moved from mile be- low--moved once before-always lived in this State. Have lived in Norwich, N. London, and Lebanon. Have been short whaling voyages. Have lived
