Wisconsin, district in Congress
Knew the prisoner in Madison; re-
member Mrs. Mcfarland giving read
ing there at which ! was present.
Mr. Graham here remarked that he
had read over Mrs. Calhouus letter
again and found that they exalted what
she had done.
Mr.. Sinclair was then called by the
prosecution.
Mr. Graham objected to having him
recalled without some valid reason be-
ing given.
Judge Davis said he wished to exam
inc him on the entertainment given at
Steinway Hall 10y Mrs. Mcfarland
Witness-A portion of the money got
by this reading was given to Mr.. McFar-
land; Mrs. Mcfarland came down first
for money; | gave her some, but the re-
mainder paid to Mr. Mcfarland; |
cannot swear positively that Mr.. Nc
Farland asked for the money.
Mrs. Mary Nandenhoft, wife Of Geo.
Vandenhoff, testified have seen Nc
Farland three or four times; ] lived in
this CITY in 1863; Mrs. Mcfarland took
lessons from my husband in 1862 she
took lessons from me after, as my terms
were less than those of my husband;
Mrs. Mcfarland gave parlor reading
during her tuition; it was at Mr.. Sin
clairs house | was there; went there
in a carriage with Mr.. and Mrs. Me
Farland. who called for me.
Mrs. Sage, the mother OF Mrs. Nc
Farland, called:
Judge Davis-Are YOU the mother of
Mrs. Richardson?
Answer am, sir.
Mr.. Graham-I object TO this form of
question. They must put 1t: Are YOU
tle mother of the woman who claims
to be Mrs Richardson?
Nv daughter married in 1857 at Mad
ison, New York. She was about 20
wears of age when she married. Mr..
and Mrs. Mcfarland left for Wisconsin
Immediately after their marriage; re-
manned there until the 10Th of May
following when they returned to me
and left for Brooklyn in August. This
was about the timeof Mrs. Netherlands
confinement.
Davis here asked some questions
which would 90 to prove that the eX-
penses attendant on the sickness Of Mrs.
Mcfarland was paii by her friends and
not by Mcfarland.
The questions were excluded.
Wimess-I have seen Mr.. Richard
son; saw him in the-fall of 1861 Miss
Gilbert came with Richardson to my
bouse in Charlestown, Mass; McFar-
land was there; did not know of the in
timacv of my daughter with him; l
6rst knew Richardson was going to
marry my daughter perhaps one year
ago, or perhaps two years ago; can I
precisely tell i heard of the intercepted
letter in the spring of 1867; never knew
what it contained until came on here
this time; think it was a rash letter
to write so soon after the separation. :,
Do you approve of Mrs. Mcfarland
going to Indiana to reside in order TO
obtain a divorce?
&';tness-I see no hurt in it.
Miss sage testiied-I am Mrs. Rich
ardson's sister; lived with Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcfarland in Brooklyn in 1858
for five weeks, when first child was
born; l saw Mcfarland drunk on a
Saturday, on which he took me to a
matinee at the Museum; he left me,
and when he came back was quite
drunk; he took me by the hand and
muttered some words, Of which only
two were ineligible, namely, Love"
and dearest" | was about as much
staggered as he was; that was my last
visit to them.
