Mrs.. Walker In the Jail; good deal OF NE COVER
sation was connected Win Walkers a sublse and
getting him ont of Jail; heard also q nveusaa
about some alleged bad conduct Of valker's in
travelling round town since his arrest; my house
moro particularly Mrs Walker and he husbs nd
were sitting the sofa and converting bout visits
Of her husband, which she had heard he had made
ID certain houses in Grand and Mercer keets; the
substance OF the conversation diss ltisfact,an
expressed by Mrs. Walker for her husba ads visits
to these places; cannot state what aid: Wsl-
ker denied the charge; they went away together
after spending an hour or two at my hou ne; car-
not say what Mrs. Walker then eaid att Walker
denied the charges against him; far can re
cole ct Mrs. Walker believed that they true;
cannot recolect that she said anything NOR that
OCCASION they left my house then, they aaid, to
To Juror%They both talke loud enoughs for me
to hear them; cannot recall the conversati' n
To Mr.. Busteed-I saw them together II the
Eldrjdge street Jail afterwards; the subject OF the
same conversation was renewed there; do Ut re-
collect the Words but the substance OF the CON
ton was the same: had conversation with Mrs..
Walker myself on this subject the morning OF her
leaving New York for Boston. This after the
other conversations; called for her at the ia to
take her to the cars; saw Mr.. and Mrs Walker part;
l believe they embraced each other, out am not
positive; they parted husbands and wives usually
part. On the occasion ofmy conversation with Mrs.
Walker she said that the week she passed with her
husband in the jail was the bappiest week Of her
hfe and whether the stories about him were true or
false they were all forgiven; we went to the cars
| believe We called at the AstOr House for some
trunks; was alone with Mrs. Walker in the car
rage during the whole of the time; far 90 her
versation to me went her feelings for her husband
were afectiOnate and friendly.

day or two before l saw her in my house; it was
e7ening wien she came to my house; my wife was
present; do not know whether any one else; i do
not know that Mrs. Walker intended to meet
another person there by appointment for the pIr-
dose OF getting bail; do not recoect going out to
get bail but may have done 30; / heard the con
yersation to which l have referred both at my
house and at the jail; cannot say which one took
place first: in the month of January, 1851 visited
Bath, N Maine; mt there at the request of
walker to see his creditors and make proposition
to them to get him out of jail; had NO other con-
necton with Walker than that of friendship; my ac
qnantance commenced with him in the summer Of
1850, before his arrest, in the Office of FRIEND this
was in the early part of the summers took no let
ter to Mrs. Clough, at Bath; know no woman of that
name; don't know the name of the house in
which | staid at Bath; l think I remained
there day and night; while there I.called on
Mrs. Walker at her fathers house; think saw her
mother there and two or three young ladies whom |
took to be her sisters; never saw Mrs. Walker
before saw her in the Jail; / saw Mr.. Croker at
Bath; did not state to him that I had taken M |
Walkers matter, because had known Mrs. Walker
and her sister Hannah since they were school girls

either; have called on Mrs. Walker in Brooklyn,
there with young lady whom don't know; Mrs.
Walker did not tell me then that was that kind Of
man with whom she wanted to have nothing to do.
The Court here adjourned.
