my nurse and house servant On the
18th of October, l was in Montreal at
home; heard of the raid at st. Adams
the same evening that it occurred; saw
it in the evening paper; my husband
brought me the paper; he came home
with my brother, Thomas Young end
his brother Hezekiah; it was regarded
as an improbable story, and we could
hardly believe so small number
could have committed SO great an out
rage. My brother Stanley started to
go TO n Catholic school on the both of
October; this school was on De Bleurv
Street Montreal Hezekiah was there
after the rad, regularly at his meals,
and | know he was not absent from
the city. My husband was arrested in
Detroit, on suspicion of being guilty
of his being present here ut the time
of the st. Adams raid. | hunted up
all tho evidence | could in regard to
his being in Montreal and especially n
receipt which bore date Oct 20 1864:

him sing; he has no musical talents
that | know of he wore moustache
last year not heavier than Mr.. Bailey's
and an imperial; never saw his beard
SO long as it is now.
