appeared well. She saw him again
Monday evening, when he was sick In
bed. ne said lie had been quite sick, but
telt better; that Mrs Wharton had poison.
ed him with glass of lemonade.
Counsel for defense objected to this
declaration, rs II was q jocular remark
Of the old gentleman and not evidence.
II was ruled out by the Court The
witness also testified 10 Mrs. Wharton
sending her from the room, and in her
absence preparing dose Of medicine for
the General of unusual size, which she
persisted in administering even before
lhe hour fixed by the doctor, the effect
Of which was 10 throw the General into
commissions. KetCham died at three
o'clock. After death, when his clothes
were packed up, his vest could not be
found. Witness asked Mrs. Wharton II
she knew where II was, she replied that
II wns In her wardrobe.
