Q. And did Moulton say any thing of this kind
TO YOU: 81 thought she was better out 81 the
way; !" and did YOU reply 81 thought SO, 1907
A. Never said II, and never answeredin any snch
way.

such conversation, any such topic OF conversation
ever raised between you and Iilton. a.
Never between me and Tilton alone; in presence
of his wife never any such conversation or any
