Gentlemen Of the Jury, I wish you to listen
now while read this confession, aud Judge
whose composition ills:

TIE lollow1ng statement: From the early part Of
Stuart. saw him oocasfeually previous to Al:
gust Of the SANG yeAf. From that time (Ausustl
10 ruin me. 1Eesiated him. God In Heaven knows;
and for nearly three uotts.'
Gentlemen, whose expression Ia that, that
she resisted hlmf Who had the motive to
put In those palliating, mitigating clrcum-
etances2 Did Mr. -Bnrch desire TINT If he VIVA

Of getting divorces j
"But seemed, ns it were, infatuated; and
after so long rcpelling his advances, I to my
shame confess that be finally conquered, and
on the 14th day Of October, 1857, fell victim
to his damnablc seductive arts" I:
Now, there is IN expression which they say
Mr. Burch must taye written, " "Damnably &C.:
ducttve arts" And because the word "eamn.
able" or "damnably," or something of that
kind, Is found In letter Of his, they SAY TINT!
Mrs Rurch could not By possibility have writ
ten this confession. Now, nm not aware, or
never was, that tl.nt expression If anywhere
might not az well be used by i woman as 4
man. II Is IN expression that indicates very
duccd. In her letter to Mrs. Farnam she uses
the expression, *the devil" Might she not
say da1unably?
Il then aud on that day had criminal con-
ncction with him, aud God forgive me, this
was repeated at different times BY six or seven
her, and until the 9th Of December, OF the
same year. This intimacy then ceased, and
seldom saw hfE. Stuart. He called two or
three times after my brothers death, in Feb
ruary, 1858, but there was no futher criminal
intercourse between rs. He was not in the
house from that time until after my return
from the East, in September, 1850"
Now, why would Mr. Burch go into all this
minuti:cs Why would he state that Stuart
was absent eighteen months, and not ncaI his
housc! Why would he put in t1eoia's rs we'll
NJ conie.sions?. What motive would he have
for it, If Mr. Durch was connecting evidence
here for tie purpose Of obtaining divorce,
wonld It be necessary, would 1t be likely that
he would 80 into the minutie and put In tleni-
ais and palllations and mitfgations, and be
careful to state those things which tcud to cx-
eu1pates And most Of all, would he at Last
make her say, as ! have before intimatcd, that
