It was bought: stated to her that RENTED $50
when gave her the chain, and from that day I
regarded
THE WATCH As A PRESENT;
stated this matter to Mr. Moore nrst outside Of
my legal counsel; he made special inquiry IN re.
gard to all the presents: happened to say to him
that did not regard the watch as . present at
frst; he said ought to have stated 90 or some re.
mark to that enect; this necessity for explicit
statement did not occur 10 me when nrst talking
to Mr. French on the subject; the reason why l
exercised reserve when speaking to Mr.. French
was on account OF advice which received to be
RESERVED TO EVERY ONE;
received this advice from legal gentleman.
O. Did you tell Mr.. French that you gave that
watch to Miss Pomeroy as an encouragement to
lead q vrtuous life because you knew tnat she had
had slips and fallss A. never d,d made an
explanation to Mr.. French that my general con-
duct towards Miss Pomeroy was an encourage.

RECONCILIATION OF THE TWO srArExKNrss

tnat all your statements respecting the watch had
been the sames A. Because did not think there

was owing to Mr.. Mo0re's suggestion, though not

this IN general way OF the watch as q present.
O. Why, II you were not criminal. did you fear
that your confidence with Mr.. French would inJure
you? A. had no personal lear about 1t, but my
counsel had ADVISED me to be reucent.
q. You had no hesitancy IN telling Mr.. Moore all
about ltl A. told HIM only IN answer to his ques-
tons; did not want to tell HIM any lies; 1 would
have put him of II IT were possible; wish TO say
HIS manner when he came TO see ME Impressed
me as so
COOL AND DISTANT
as not to invite my confidence.
Why, then, did you solicit him to break the
Hallowelrs suggestion, and as no other person

did not refer MIR. French TO any time when knew
French That when delivering the watch to her in
the winter reminded ner that while 1t marked
the progress OF the hour II should also mark the
PROGRESS OF HER CHRISTIAN LIFE;
Mr.. Moore informed me that Mr. French'5 mind
was aboring on the point; the only reason can
assign Tor not having gone to Mr. French and ex.

Moore to tell nlm to come down to my study hau
he done so would have
MADE THE EXPLANATIONS;
did not request Mr.. Moore TO make any explana-
ton to MIR. French; had Mr.. French asked the
same questions l would have answered him as
did Mr.. Moore.
This ends the entire testimony in this pro-
tracted trial. Drs. Imbrie aud Riggs have not yet
come to an understanding on the question OF en-
terlng protest against tne exclusion OF rebut

rebuttal is Mr.. W. u. McGregor, but the moment
