Was nearly halt mile west when we met
Morehouse Hamilton, Aaron NJ. Hamilton,
William PtndoIph, and Clark Hamilton.
Pendolph asked me II had seen anything
Of the dtcher. Told him had found him
up there in bad condition, and / thought
likely he woeld be dad before we got back.
When said This Pendoph put his hands
to his side, stepped back little, aud sat

little south Of the house. about rod from
the house. We saw track aud Go'Iowed
It niounl, Thought il was ab M the size Of
the dilcber's boot. Followed il around
till II came pretty near where the di'chpf
lay. Near this track saw tie track Of a
bare foot. Hamilton said the liicher had
"a pair Of tongs and shovel and ! looked
for them AID found them naar tie brook in
in the outer row Of potatoes about two rods
from the house; Smuld think hle track
from the door around to where he hay was
not more than three OF four rod in length.
When | met Pendol il think be was bare
foot, MIR. Hamilton and talked with Pen
dolph little at the house, and Pendolph
said he didn't mean to strike any one and
if lie did he didn't know it he wanted to
live in peace and harmony. We saw an
axe in Mrs. Wheelers room. After We
got Pendolph into the house aud on the
straw bed, we got some penuyroyal tea TO
give Kinsman and Pendolph seemed very
anxious TO help get something for bis re-
lief Hamilton tried to give him some tea
and be swallowed a little but seemed to
choke, we told Pendolph we thought be
was past help, and Pendolph did no want
to have US let him die TO trouble him he
thought he might be brought to.
Cross Eramination Should Judge the
tracks IN the potatoes were made by per-

no place where ii looked as though there
had been slight scufle Where he track
entered the potatoe ground !; looked as
though there had been little stepping
