A. when Mss Harris showed me the letters
was considerably startled; the thought flashed
across his mind that the notice OF his brothers.
marriage had made her feel that she had some
claim upon him could not fall 70 remember this.
About the movements Of his brother they we've
he was deeply Interested In the marriage.
Witness did not introduce his brother TO the
lady whom he made his wife; had nothing TO do
with bringing It about; witness came on with
Mr.. Strong, MI: ooode, and Mr.; Mosely, and had
met incidentally; since here the testimony had
been talked Of; has had conversations about the
testimony IN general way In regard 10 the tes-
timony they would give had communicated TO
them what would be tho bearing Of his tesh-
mony had said TO some OF them, "No matter
about thcIaspect OF the case now, we rebuttng
Witnesses are to give our testimony yet;" said
words to that effect.
In conversation with ono or more Of the wit
nesses to the general impression Of the case In
this community, witness replied, whom he gave
his opinion as TO the general impression outside,
"wait until the rebutting witnesses testify; or,
''we rebutting witnesses are yet to testify.
BY Judge Hughes: Witness solemnired the
marriage between his brother and his wife.
Witness left the notices Of the marriage at the
newspaper Offices. Witness now thought tho
call Of Miss Harris was after the l6th Of septem-
ber. Had not employed counsel In this case TO
prosecute her. Had asked Mr.. frear to assist
him in general way. Witness did not use the
form In the marriage ceremony, calling upon
others II they knew Of any impedment by rea-
son Of pre- contract. II was customary for wit
ness to use II. Had used 1t sometimes. Witness
was not positive that his brother arrived on the
llth Of September. After the marriage, his
brothers. wife visited her frienGs In Chicago the
following September. His brother was not with
her; thought he was in Washington. Did not
remember how she came, II alone or with some
friend. His brother came in September, and
stayed two or three weeks. He stopped Mt dn-
ferent places. He did not stay In Chicago all
the time; paused one week with witness. He
was going about the city two weeks In septem
ber, 1864.
When he informed witness Of his contem-
plated marriage he said nothing about any pre-
vious engagement with Miss Harris. The on
gagement between himself and Miss Harris was
never the subject Of conversation before the
marriage; 1t was after. 1t was quite possible
that the relations may have beeu alluded 10 by
thought his brother was very expert with the
pen. Did not know who wrote the letter ofSep-
tember s or IL. Saw picture Of his brother
with Miss Harris when she called with the let
ters. Thought he said to her. ~ would like to
have that picture. -
