THE PASTORS CONDUCT.
any first proposition Is that his entire conduct is
incompatible with the assumption Of guilt when
she became 50 seriously III she was under the treat,
very best opportunity be had ior carrying out MS
murderous designs Bat no, he tells her that sho
better have local ply sician who could see her
here at her worst hours. and then he did mol namc
the physician, but asked her 10 select one herself.
Are the sckIes family not all welcome at his house
Why Sickes ad milled tho stand that when he
about TO leave the house Mr.. Vosburgh persuaded
him stay and when Mrs MAnton, her sister, lett he
exactod the condition that snc snould return. Why.
has CRIME changed It's charactsry Does murder now
seek the very daylgbtY We know that Sckles told
ana wanted pulling down pcg two,' and that he
(.ickles) would do IT, vosburgh had grown above
sickes no mad excited his vindictve envy that was
his crime.
scELEs CONDUCT.
s'My second proposition Is that Sickes' conduct
shows that this man Is Innocent Sickes says that
his rst suspicious Of poison were excited on tho 10Th
OF February, aud on the 17h they were 50 strong
tnat he saved the tea for che analysts And yet
he allowed Vosburgh 10 20 poisoning her Tor two
days. lie saw Vosourgh mixing his poison IN her
iced water aad tea AID yet allowed her 20 drink i all
until tho 18Th, when he says, nothing more was nj
lowed 10 pass through the PASTORS hands Although
he had saved the tea Tor analysis on the l'th lie went
Ia charge OF the defendant, who admins
tered her all the drink and medicine
she received that ngbt. Mrs. Manton, Mira.
vosburgh's sister, sits up the same niznt with the
saw d Tea which Sicklss gave her away her
satchel aud she herself swears that this night Vos-
burgh administered TO MS wife all she took. Arer
Sckes saved the tea and Is convinced that Vos-
burgn is poisoning his wiio he SIN allows his sister
to take swallows vi more poisoned tea, AMI saves
the rest WDyf lie says no wanied to verify his
Suspicion that II was poison. II Mrs Vosburgh, his
sister, hai died IL would have been most excellent
verincalion OF It. (Laughter.) Was that natural u
be really thought sue was being po.sonedf Then
Mrs Sickcs nnd Mrs. Manton saved in vial more
OF the poison administered 10y Mr. VUsburgh. And
then what do they dog They 20 to q photographer
