| Corning your sisters leaving, and 10 regard to
Mr.. McDowelrs connection with her ieavingf
This was objected TO by the counsel for the pro-
The defence replied that 1t WAS about the same
that Mr. Woltz had sworn to, though erhaps at y
| later date. 1t merely as to the facts OF Nc
DowelPs connection with Miss B..
The Com monwealth objected that II al these
| statements were admitted, 1t would open the door
to every rumor.
The question was finally put in such a form as
to be admissible, and the witness resumed:
/ went to Baltimore in pursuit OF my sister
! Had some conversation with her the subject of
her absence from home, and about the person who
ives responsible for her leaving home. Informed
my father of the result of the conversation, when
returned and before the homicide

were reiterated by the prosecution. Mr.. Daniel
spoke against it's admiss ability, and Mr.. Niche
replied.
The Court then took q. recess Of an hour and a
half.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Messrs. Wysor and Niche farther argued the ad'
stability of the testimony, and the Court deci-
ded that il should be admitted.
Hbodrilie BotcyeT, resumed: started after nv
sister the day she left, and when got to Rich
mond ascertained that she had gone to house Of
i'll fame made inquiries, through another per-
con, if she ut that house, and ascerfaned that
she was not received there but that evening I
found she had been at another house. there as
certained the directions sbe had received to a
house in Baltimore, and left next morning. When
/ arrived at Baltimore got the services of po.
liceman, and went to look for sister that night
After or two houses had been searched. she
was found. / then placed her at the policeman's
house. His name is English. Robert Kyle and
Mr.. Joynes also accompanied me in the search
Mr.. JoyneS Is present mere at tDl5 time.
The next evening saw her at the po'iceman's
house, and had private conversation with her
She said she had left home because Mr., Mcdowell
had told her some one would write father an an
nonymous communication in regard to their init
macy, and that if be found 1t out he would Ger
tainly kill her. She said Mcdowell gave her $780,
and told her to meet him in New York; that he
would'rent her house there and give her $500
She said she to have left three days before she
did leave but that our servants were working in
the field between the house and the road. and she
could not get off without their seeing her ask ed
her the names Of the servants who had aided her
in communicating with Mcdowell while she WAS at
hone, aud she told me of Moses and bis wife, and
Joe Kenneriy and his wife. / then expressed scr.
rise that this could have been carried Gu without
my knowledge, and she said they always met
Thursday nights and Sunday nights, when she
knew l was always in town, attending church
She had heard some one had told me of their 1nt
macy, and that ] was watching her, and that WAS
the reason why those nights were appointed Tor the
meetings.
The remainder of to-days proceedings will be
given in my next. Mr.. Woodvile Bouyer's testi-
mony was qaise long, and after he concluded, Mr.
Joynes, of Baltimore, testified, and then MIR. House
man, the postmaster, in regard to letter having
been received here, postmarked Baltimore, and di
rected to Mr.. Mcdowell in Miss Bowyers hand
