THURSDAY THIRD DAY.
Mrs. II. J. Warner testified: Live I'm
Nergennes; am millner: know the
parties; Mrs. Champlin was engaged
in my shop fore part of summer, MAY
and June last; | was at Mr.. Smiths
during Mrs. Smiths sickness; first saw
her Tuesday; she said II am dreadful
sick" next time Thursday; Mrs. Smith
was no better, but failing; stayed per-
haps an hour; don't remember of SEQ
ing Mrs. Champlin either of these times.
In conversation with Mr.. smith he
seemed to carry the idea that Mrs.
Smith wouldn't get well, and wouldn't
have another physician. Thursday
evening | was there again; Mrs. Smith
didn't vomit while | was there, but
spoke of having vomited; she COM
planned of burning heat in stomach and
bowels, and irritation; watched latter
part of Friday night. She was restless
and growing worse. In the morning
she complained of her head feeling bad /:
Saturday night went again and watch
ed; saw she was failing fast; Mr.. Smith
and Mrs. Champlin were in the kitchen :
| said ! thought she ought TO have
brandy; Smith finally went for brandy
and came back after two hours with
the brandy and said DIR. Arthur said
she mustn't take brandy, but might be
washed. Aiterward gave her some.
DR.. Arthur came between 3 and 9
and they prepared beef tea and gave to
her alternate hours until, after four
times, she refused it. DIR. Arthur told
me to continue the brandy and give
more; Mrs. Champlin was in the house,
but did nothing for Mrs. Smith. who
grew rapidly worse after the doctor
went away. AT length Mrs. Stewart
went to Smiths room n little before l2
and then went for the doctor: Smith
didn't come down again and / didn't
see him again until morning; Smith
didn't appear to me TO feel very anx-
ious about his wife; was there
when his wife died; don't rcmem-
Der ANYTHING particular that Smith said ;
when she was dying Smith closed her
eyes and Mrs. Champlin stood by =:
thought Smith and Mrs. Champlnl
were quite intimate; think they were
fond of each others company; Smith
came into my shop often, more fire.
qucntly when she was there: have
known him TO start 10 go home with
her; they have been along with me
when going home rs far as the road to
their houses, and there left me as I went
to my home on Main street; once saw
them pass something from one TO the
other; | have invited them TO nv
house. they have bccn ot M, ho,so iii, III
