John W. y. Ayres, sworn-I was asked by
several neighbors to search for Mrs. Arm
strongs body; he had shown q great deal of
emotion when any one approached the pig pen;

blood on the floor outside Of the psatry door;
one was OF the size OF the palm Of the hand
the other was quarter as large, both looked as
II attempt had been made to erase them; the
blood was of q dark red, az of human blood
and fresh looking; in the pantry were three or
four spots of bloody no attempt had been
made to erase them; we then went into the cell
lar; part of the floor looked as il it had been
dug up and pack In again; Armstrong said 1t
was no use looking there; the difference Of APP
pearance OF the part Of the earth was owing
to water leaking In; they then went TO pile
OF fresh manure back ofthe pig pen and found
1t mixed with fresh earth; Armstrong accom-
panied us and trembled good deal; said to
Armstrong that the disappearance of his wife
was sad affair; he said it was; he had come
girl and stamped her, he told her she should
not do so, when she threw down II plate o T
butter she had 10 her hands, and ran at him
with knife and attempted to cut his throat 1;
he thought she was deranged; he put her into
| the meal room, when she made 80 much noise
be let her out, when she went to bed; in the
/ night she got up and called the black girl aud
went down into the back yard; he followed her
and she esked him why he followed her /;
| hau al TO Lan has. -. he,
/ then went back to bed, and he missed her a
quarter to IL or to one O'Clock; and Richard
Clayton then went to the hog pen, took up the
plank and found the body of Mrs.. Armstrong
| most OF the body was covered with earth it
had on chemise, drawers, muslin shirt and a
| calico petticoat; there was a wound on her
head; the body was doubled up with the head
down; before this l took him to the back por-
tica and showed him the blood on the porch,
and said it was human blood; he said he had
lately killed a calf, and hung it up there mean
Ing at the meat house; then that some chick
ems had been killed, and that the children had
thrown them about there; and afterwards he
said IN reply TO my question chow did thai
| blood come there Z" that he had slapped aud
kicked her but had not hurt her; the body dis.
Inferred here to day Is the same body of Car
