Q-Cfnninally?
A.-Yes, have been with him days and
nights talking tie matter over, but would
like to have you know that these conversations
lasted for years and the change Of his thoughts
from the old to the new, as he called 1t. was
gradual. l used to think his suspicious of me
were caused by his not being at rest in his own
mind.
Q.-Wben he assumed you had been guilty
of criminal intimacy with Mr.. Beecher, how
did you treat the subject?
A.-For time | was very angry and ex-
| pressed myself to him as strongly as possibly
could. | became angry and said would not
| be talked to in that way.
Q.-Stae whether or not you invariably de-
MED that you ever had any criminal intercourse
with Mr.. Beecher?
Al have indeed, l remember that he not
| only charged me with this in my presence, but
often became so audacious as TO write to me
about it and that seemed to me unpardor able.
On making those offensive allegations
| what did he say?
| A.-As often as any way he said, you will
not deny that you have mad criminal inter-
| course, and he tried to Brighten me by saying
! that he had seen certain things.
| Q.-What things did he say he had seen?
Al remember that ouee or twice he pre-
| tended he saw me sitting in Mr.. Beechers lap
at home in the red chair in the parlor. In re-
| ply this said: ''you didn't" 90 not know
| what you gentlemen will think, but you can
certainly see that such continual talk, year 10
and year out, would have its influence upon
me. l came to be quite Indifferent except IN
! regard to my anxiety about him.. was sort
of morbid jealousy that he had. 1 was worn
! out and sick it.
| Q-Was 1t only in respect to Mr.. Beecher
that he made these accusations or in respect to
| other people also?
| Ain respect to Mr.. Beecher only. AT that
| time about 1870, believe he began TO think
had great apmiraton for several persons be-
| sides Mr.. Beecher.
| Odd he hesitate to mention names?
| A-No sir, he did not.
| Q-How many different persons did he
| name?
A.-Two or three gentlemen acquaintauces,
| Odd he ever make to you any charge or
accusatinn even with respect to MIR. Beecher,
naming any definite time or place of any crimi-
| nal act?
A.-Oh no, never. He never connected any
time with it.
Odd ne ever pretend to you that you had
[ been guilty of any IMPROPERLY with MIR.
| Beecher at his (Beechel's) house?
| A.-No.. He wondered why 1 went there
on two or three occasions. i went on errands.

with the exception Of Carne School, the best
examination; indeed the grammar eXnmlnatlon:
10 which the prize questions used in Washing

some premiums were awarded to several pupils
by Miss Slsson, and the Superintendent, after

Altogether education appears to be recelv-

importance deserves, and its schools are wei!
