MRS HarQen was on the cav OF her
marriage. married them at my own
house at Washington; went with them
to Beattie's and staid to dinner; af-
forwards Harden and his wife we're at
my house with others we went to
the Hastings Musical Convention to.
gether In all my association with
them | never saw anything in his de-
pertinent towards her which was other
than that Of an affectioaate husband
his health was so bad that he could
not meet ali his appointments on SUM-
day. He asked my advice about 60
ing to house keeping it was about
the time of his marriage advised
him TO board until Conference. The
impression made on my mind by Mrs.
Harden was lady of great reserve and
to my mind she had an appearance of
sadness and detection. On her we'd
ding day she wore an expression of
sadness; | noticed particularly her re.
peated absence over the rest of the
party. When | saw her at Ramsey's
her manner was very reserved; she
was complaining of cold; did not
snccced in drawing her into CONVEX
sation.
Mr.. Millory, sworn. Il was a mem
Der of the grand jury of the county of
Warren, at April term, one year ago
heard man by the name Of G. E.
Hecht sworn; he said he did not know
Harden that he should not be able
to recognize him if he were to see
him; a likeness was shown him and he
said there was no use in his looking at
it, as he had seen likenesses of Harden
and heard him described said he
could not remember whether he had
cap or hat on nor what kind of coat
or pants he wore; he was asked if he
could tell the week or month in which
he sold the arsenic; he said he could
not.
Robert S Garrison, Caleb Fairclo
and George w. Taylor, also members
of the grand jury, who foind the in-
dictmcnt against Harden, were called,
who testified substantially to the
above.

he was fifteen years old in May he
went to Hunterdon county four years
ago Jacob had Hannah L. Dorland
OF home about the holidays. the next
winter after he went to Hunterion
county; think she was there over night;
ne took her away the next day; the
first | knew of the engagement was in
September previous TO their being
married in October learned the fact
from letter / received from him; am
not positive how often | heard from
him after that before he was married
(four letters were shown witness);
these looked like the letters | received
from him / delivered the letters /
rec eived from him to Mr.. Shipman.
The letters were offered in evidence
by the defence for the purpose of
showing the state Of feeling between
Harden and his wife; they were OBJ
jected to on the part Of the State.
Jacob and his wife came back to
my house, / think, on Wednesday, af-
ter they had, as / understood from
them, been married the day before
they came with q two horse carriage

eral couple of married persons were
there, some of whom were invited by

got letter from Jacob requesting me
to meet her at Delaware station, as
she was coming by railroad. She said
the reason of her coming IS she did
was because she had good oppcr:u-
nifty and wanted TO come; she got four
letters from Jacob while there she
overstaid her time somewhat, the rea-
son being that Jacobs horse was sick
and he was not well himself; he came
after her just before the holidays;
