3 { "A week before this deceased said she
would like to go to Newburg;asI
thought it was very strange that she
should wish to leave her fathers house So
soon after her mothers death; deceased
said she felt SO lonely in the basement
that we occupied that she was DESTROYS Of
going to Newburg; Itold her that would
get some girl to come in and Keep her COM
pany if she felt SO lonely s she seemed to
be satisfied then; soon after / asked her
what she wanted to 60 to Newburg for !
she said she wished to go up and see the
family with whom my wife was stopping
when she died I asked her if she was go
ing to get married she replied that she
was not some six weeks previous, when
my son was brought in dead, Simms at,
tended the funeral, and / could see then
that the intimacy still existed. During the
conversation about going to Newburg !
told hert hat if she was going to be mar
ried to tell me all about it, and have things
done regularly {; Ittold her that she was of
age, and could judge for herself. SD
THE FATHERS Suspicious AROUSED.
I told her that had tried to break off
her intimacy with Simms, but now things
assumed such shape that would be glad
if she was married to him: thought she
was pregnant by him, and told her sSs she
denied that it was so but I said she could
not deceive me. A few days after this !
had a second conversation with her upon
the subject Of her pregnancy. I told her;
that she should not be ashamed to tell the
truth, as her condition spoke for itself I
told her to reveal her mind to me that I
was father and mother to her. She made
me no answer. and we parted !; that was
the last conversation / had with her on the
subject On Saturday, the Goth ultimo !
came home to dinner between twelve and
one O'Clock, and found deceased there. &
