some -four, followed after him. The darkey, who
was leaning against the counter, said "Massa Buck, |
sn ready for you.' With this Mr. Robert b. Jones
pulled out two bills, and twisting them up, gave to
the fellow. The darkey asked how much it was-
Jones replied g. The darkey then said that was not
| enough. Mr.. Jones answered Mr.. Wade and my
self have determined to give more than fifty cents
for wheat" The darkey then said what about the

three pieces, handed them to the negro. The

| and only performing his duty. The warrant was
taken to search for chickens that Mr. Fucher had
lost. Aarl had number of similar kind but
animation he proved to the justice that those in his
yard were his own. While catching the fowls Wade
| broke the leg of one of my small chickens, which
| made me feel unpleasant. 1t was small affair how
| ever, and soon passed of. Never said any thing
| against Wade to any ofny neighbers. Have no i'll
| will against him. Jones gave the darkey 81 for the
wheat. Wade received the wheat in the morning,
| and Jones paid for it that evening. When 1
returned from the grocery l told my husband
| of what had seen and heard. He got the pa
per- and after examining it. said the price of wheat
was 81 25 per busheI. He remarked that it very
cheap and said he should like to get some at the
same price.

and A Judson Crane, Esq, who appeared for the de-
| fence, then introduced mis- witnesses.

ment of Mrs. Aarl relative to the conversation she
alleges took place between negro and myself about
wheat and corn. No such conversation ever did take
Mr.. Crane then proposed to establish by evidence
the character of Mr.. Jones' US man of veracy, and
for this purpose introduced number of Witnesses.
1t was not his purpose to assa the Commemorative

attempting to destroy the character of any one-it
