Following now Phelps narrative until the date Of

on his return from Grass Lake TO IeOn on the after
noon OF that day. tOIv IN ana MNer> went Win hnn

John Cuykendall, John ". kellogg and b. +. Smith,
testify tha; Phelps invited COrwln and Myers to 60
TO Michigan Center 70 roll ninepms. ana PAID lavish
ly tor ne spirits that were drank Wc Is for those
taken away. that Williams was not present on that
occasion. We have already exposed the ialsehoods
of Phelps and Lake. ln relation to Their mysterious
Journey from Grass Lake 10 Michigan Centre, on
that memorable day. Let Us look now INTO Their ac-
count of the Transactions OF the night. Phelps and
Lake represent Itch rs having been present AT FIJI
lcys house while two distinct private conversations
were hel1 IN the barroOm, and TWO conversations of
considerable length out of doors Nj the Witnesses
agree that the time occupied, during the converse
tons and transactions Of that night was about TWO
hours. FNch'> presence during period 50 long, u
completely disproyed James q. Gross, reputable
farmer Who staying at FltchS house, states that
Fitch absent from home ONLY ten or twelve MN
Utes. Amanda Fitch limits hs absence to ave or ten
minutes and they sgfee That he was out OF ms house
only once that evening. VIM. ii. Hudson, who was
tes'ifeS that Fitch came IN, held public conyersa-
ton Of ten OF fneen minutes with Phelps, With
drew and did not return again that night.
The importan, points m the transactions Of That
eyoIur as related By Phelps, are that Fitch took
Phelus ASIDE and SAID FIiey had told him thdt he
Pheip> VAS going 90 Niles that evening, that lot Of
fellow had been harging around them ana that ne,
Fitch had sent IlIley of with them fishing that

and that then torw,n opened the door oil the sore
room. took out the box, placed }; 81 the wagon oi
Phely, and Lake. and they departed while or"in
and Nyeis went away IN another wagon.
N,iiiam Ii Hudson VINO was az Fllleys house be-
fore F'tcn ara STAYED there until all had departed,
relates that Fitch IN, and Was invited 70 drink
thai he declined thai then Phelps came ffOm be-
hind the counter Fitch sad TO Phelps NOu did not
reuain long at Lansing" Phelps replied, no he
had done ms bushes, mp quick, and had got state
bonds for 81 2tO and he thought that small amount
better than nothing Phelps sand that his horse had
run away that day Tor TIE hTs time before that the
horse had been very steady. He SAID also, he hai
friend III Minnesota 20 had graduated WIN lini, anu
who thought he could do up there, and ne was
gong 10 move there the next week. Hudson SAYS
that after Fitch went out there was good deal ot
moving about, and some DRINKING by ne persons
there. HUDSON renamed lneie peflJl VI NOM
one 10 tV hours.
The statement, 10y Phelps, 'hat Fitch told him mat
he had learned from Fiey that Phelps was gong to
Niles that night, IS manlesly false hrs, because
Phelps did not see EI.ieS when there that day III
lev could have learned that purpose only from Lake
IN the afternoon, and during al that afternoon Fich
was absent from home until Fllley hid gone down
the last time 10 the lake. The statement that
Fitch sad there had been a lot Of fellows hanging
around there ard lie had sent Flley of with them
fishing" IS equally false. because no suca 10Y Oi
f.lloWs" had been hanging around there, and FL
lev had gone Of fishing on Als own motion without
any communication With Fitch
3 The other statements equally false, bee iise
Hudson neilher saw any such private consultations,
nor auy such Withdrawing from the room, @nc De
