noticed no one about the hotel; Charles
came in sight again and caught up about
300 yards beyond the hotel; might have
looked back again before he caught up:
saw no one conversing with Charles about
the hotel; saw no one talking and walking
with him on the road; did not see Charles
walking beside his carriage; We drove
along together to Milton Falls before We

to Sheldon; left Charles by jackson Pot
