But, now marx again the sofa lounge winch this
Miss Lucy says she drew out and put mattress
and 6edclothes upon Is creation OF her tertle
Imagination. There was never such piece of
furniture either In the front parlor No IL East
Ihirty-eGhth street or III any other part OF the
house. She never made a bed in that room thai
body else. The furniture OF that room consisted
OF single set parlor sofas and chars uphol-

city maker. ana there was nothing slmat-
ing to q sofa lounge that could be used
iOr q bed. Nor was there anything Of the kind
anywhere III the house Miss Lucy never made up
the bed, as she has testified, and Mr.. Tllton dld
was there late IN the evening" nor did he eat
breakfast there tine next morning, or any other
ABOVE. The second night she changes the scene
TO the third story. or course, 1t would not have
own room-Jne second Moor, back-oecause
1t was there that Colonel Blood had TO sleep; nence
she taxes Us another flight iurther upward,

which was occupied By my iather and mother; or,
perhaps, intO the 'front.' room which was occupied
by my sister ana her children Ii seems 10 me, Lucy,
that you had better have left us down ia the
paror, where you had us so nicely che first night;
or did you haD1en 10 remember, alter Keeping us
there the first night. tnat the SOFA lounge mad been
removed, or that 1t had changed It's form INTO a

July, 1872 / slept in the second story back
Colonel Blood, and not with Theodore T.llon. We
mad no spare yooLs IN the house; every one was
occupied by ieinoerS OF my own ana sisters faml-
lies and were 80 used every night. MIR. 1llton was
never in the rooms above the second floor but
once, and that was IN the daytime. almost tue first
time he was ever there, when TOOK hin all

Furthermore, wish to say that Mr.. Titon
never cOnversed with me about the scandal III the
presence OF any tIird parties, nor ala any third
parties ever converse with me III the presence or
Mr.. Tilton-oy tnifd parties meaning persons OUT
side OF Miss Ciailln Colonel Blood ana myself.
The testimony thai has been gwen to that effect
by two gentlemen Is erroneous they prob
ably having con.ounded conversations had with
present. Stili cannot imagine how such an error
couG have been made by them unwittngly;
suppose 1t must have been so made, the same as
was probably the error OF the two gentlemen who
