he was swearing and jawing that if she did
hot go nome with him he would never bed
win her again while he had being in the
world. She said she wouldn't go, but finally
dio go. He took up the lane and she took up
the near way around the house to the lane.
NY son got out of the window and followed.
John Cathcart came back next day. l asked
nim whether they had got home. He said
they had. / asked him whether he had got
Martha home, and he replied that he had. 1
asked him how she seemed to be, and he an
swered that she was sulen as a bull. He left
and went to Sammy Hegarty's. 1t is called
miles from our place to Johns; very bad
road When they started it must have been
III O'Clock; it was midding moonlight. She
was crying when they started. l have often
heard John say he would break his wifes back
with stove-wood stick. They were living
in the house with me at the time. They left
there last April. They had remained there
from March year. Martha was of very
mild disposition. Can't tell what gave rise to
threats except his ugly disposition. He swore
very bitter oaths; l would not like to repeat
them. He swore by Jesus Christ.
A.-Johr's children were at his fathers.
They came to our place late in the evening.
He said he must go home-had to go Hegarty's
Tomorrow. He raised his hand to her-he
Knocked her head against the wall. She had
made thickencd milk for supper. He said he
wouldn't eat hog slop, and hit her head against
the wall. He was going to Hegarty's when
he came back the next day. Never told any
one that John was kind to his wife. To the
best of my knowledge, never said at Toms
that John was very kind to me.
VIM. Luther. sw.-On Tue sday before the
shooting happened, met John Cathcart at
Alexander's fordng. He had been away for
load of boards, having started on Sabbath
morning. He was telling me about his wife
giving him lecturing for not coming home
as he had agreed to do-for being away on
Sunday. He, with an oath, swore he would
abuse her in some way and wouldn't live with
her if she didn't quit her scolding. l saw him
on Saturday of the same week, before his
wife was shot. On Sunday heard him say,
what deed | have done, what deed have
done.
A.-I think Robert Alexander and Lanson
Root were present on Tuesday when this con-
versation took place. He was laughing at the
time. 1t was close by Shoff's tavern.
