tee Of The Whole on guessing: Many were
the different plans suggested by which the In
formation might have been obtained. Some
thought the reporters had fllse keys and had

The sand Was examined, and found to be
nailed fast to the floor. There was no space
they could occupy above, between the ceiling
and roof; tic doors had been closely watched,
and they could not hare rot it by hearing.
Attcr q thorough discussion Of the prob1-
hillties and possibilities, it was concluded
they must have secured the aid Of some party
who Lad taken down the proceedings. So
well convinced were they Of this, that tho

out note or comment, they would probably
not believe word Of 1t. As there Is no

The reporters were closely wntcl1cd to-day,
| 50 much so that they were followed to their
| ,ooms; and the duor being found Locked, nflcr

the busy body went straightway to the court

| two Of the reporters we're locked In 4 room,
| doubtless engaged in copying the testimony
from records that had been furnished them by
kome one; that they might be caught in the
| very act, by the exercise Of proper diligence.
As tic reporters had been seen upon the
streets only short time previous, aud as all
| the records were present In the Court room,
no search was instituted.
Below will be found Mrs. Perrrigo's testi.
mony as far as We are enabled to furnish it. Il
it in incomplete in some particulars, It Is moi
our fault. VIC have been willing to give ths
true testimony, rerbdtim ct latratina but the
Bishop objected. Hence he must not blame
| us for publishing such as VIC arc supplied
with.
