where these points could be had-one was
to be found at an aunt of Fulgart's wife ;
there was another oDe where an old Wo-
man lived by herseIf-a weaver-think
he called her Mary Paul; there was also
a man, but don't mind his name nor
where he lived we had other talks,
doh't know how often remained in that
cell fifteen months, and then was moved
up to the cell adjoining Philip Fulgart's
Fulgart and Baser worked together by
spells, IN the same cell, hob-nailing shoes;
were In that cell up to the day previous
TO Buser leaving Fulgart remained in
the same cell after Buser left /; about four
or six weeks before Buser went out. he
came up, on a Saturday, sometimes pris-
oners get together by making an excuse
to get their hair cut,) when | heard a
conversation; did not hear first of the
conversation Fulgart was about nine
feet and Buser about FIVE feet from me.
including thickness of wall the first [
heard was Buser saying, " well, Fulgart,
if l make any one of these points, yon can
depend on US doing what promised - he
said, you can be got out, or acW be got
out by next August" Fulgart said, " At
| the oid woman, the weaver's, you can get
that, easy-there will be no one there tc
stop you-I think sou viii find the money
in the bed :" he did not name the woman.
but called her the old weaver Buser re-
marked, "Johnny (Howser) and L will
make sure of that, if we have to murder
to get it; this is the principal part Of
| that conversation Buser stated that as
| soon as they got out and could make ar
rangements, they would go on their expe-
dition; don't remember the name they
also spoke OF man who was a cooper by
| trade; don't know where he lived this
was one Of several points about which he
was talking to Buser had talk in
March, | think, with Howser had climb
ed up to the window of my cell, and could
see the opposite cell window, which was
Howser's; asked Howser if he was going
| to send some sceea (tobacco) in when he
got out; he said he could not then, for he
was hard up, and would have to make a
raise first; asked him if he could make
raise; ne said, oh, yes. there is a pile
waiting on me-" asked him if it was In
Cambria; he just nodded, (affrmatively)
BithheatS spesliag said a knew"
or g Daa iisd told me e"-something that
conveyed Che idea that | knew they were
/ going on an expeditions /; never heard any
conversation between the prisoners that
could understand, as they talked German !;
did hear them say Cam6rid-knew that
word-in their conversations, twice that |
mind OF /; 1T was Sunday each time these
| prisoners are the Howser and Buser
| spoken of Buser speaks good English,
and speaks German also do not pre-
| tend to understand German heard Buser
say that he and Philip Fulgart could talk
together best in English; don't think
Howser can speak good English it was
the 7th or 18th of May that Buser and
Howser left penitentiary-don't mini
which day both left their cells the same
time; Buser said he was going out that
day, and was bidding goodbye to the
| prisoners.
