familiar with his reputation for truth, and it |
was very good. No cross-examination.
Professor Hardness recalled-I wanted to
make a correction; in the meantime the moon
rose at one minute and four seconds past 10
o'clock, in mean time; this was on April Ia; the
difference and mistake l made arose from an
error in calculations.
Joseph McDubaTy recalled, and examined by
Mr. Pierrepont-I have with me the records of
the Northern Central Railroad; on April 18th
and l4th, 1866, there was q connection with Sun
bury and Baltimore by the Northern Central
Railroad; the Northern Central Railroad crosses
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad at Marys-
vile; there are coal routes leading from Sun
bury to Pottsville and from Pottsville to Phila-
delphia: know there Is such road as the
Catawissa road; it strikes at Milton, Penn
sylvana, and is twelve miles west of Sunbury;
from Harrisburg there are TO 3Philadel-
phia the Pennsylvania Central Railroad,
aud the road to Reading, aud thence to
Philadelphia; the New York through trains
cross branch of the Reading Road, and pass
around Philadelphia by the connecting railway;
| that was not in existence in 1866; the Lacka-
| wanna and Bloomsbury Road strikes the
Northern Central Railway two miles from Sum
| bury; Northumberland is two miles west of
| Sunbury; that road connects with Philadelphia
| (records eXamined), and find that on April l3,
1851, there we're Two passenger trains called first
and second mail ran between Elmira and Will
| Transport; by the records here both trains left
at o'clock; know nothing of a special train;
when was on the stand before, l was asked If
l was in Elmira on April 49, desire to correct
that, as 1 know by kilograms that promised to

probably there; by the record the train left Sun
bury at 1918 on the night of April 49, and
arrived at Baltimore at 1925 A. NJ on the l4th,
| at the Bolton depot.
By Mr.. Bradley-I have no special recollec-
ton of coming from Elmira to Williamsport on

shows that special train run on the 18th, and
there is no record of a special train on the 18th
going south; do not recolect coming down
in cabose on the 18th; 1 never saw the
recollect his coming from Elmira with me on
special train; if | came down from Elmira
that day, no one could have come in a sim
gle car without my knowing it; 1 am positive
never saw the prisoner before; / have no re-
collection whatev9r of having been on that
train; the most direct and expeditions route
from Sunbury to Washington is by the Northern
Central Railroad to Baltimore; the train on
April Ii left Sunbury for Baltimore at 1918 mid
night, and arrived at Baltimore at 725 A. NJ. of
the 14th of April; I know it takes four hours
from Harrisburg to Baltimore; it takes the same
time to run from Harrisburg to Philadelphia as
from Harrisburg to Baltimore; freight train
left Sunbury at 4'30 P. M. on the 18th of April;
that train ran to Marysville; l don't know
If there was clear connection for freight
trains with Marysville and Harrisburg; Marys-
vile is miles from Harrisburg; the train
arrived at Marysville at 9'2O P. NJ; that was the
last freight train that left Sunbury on April 13;

at Harrisburg at $3.50 A. M; between $50 A. NJ.
and $3.50 A. NJ. on the 14th, no train left Harris
burg for Baltimore; the Pottsville road does not
intersect the Northern Central Railroad directly;
the time from Harrisburg to Reading is from two
to two and half hours; there is no direct con
nection between our road and the Catawissa
road.
