saw such thing in my closet; bought the tooth
pick the lith of May. kept it a week and Bishop
then took II away from. me; was on entirety
friendly terms with him. and believe that
my husband saw Bishop take il; l never
remarked. when Bishop took the toothpick.
.'He is quite gobbler; Bishop called at my house
occasionally evenings looking for his wife, ana md
ing alone he said half hour less waiting for
her; Mrs. Fuller told me that she had heard that
Bishop was in my house one night when my husband
was in Troy late AZ four O'Clock i'm the morning.
and l replied to her that Bishop and his
wife both there. but that they did not stay SO
late; visited Bishops house once whic his mother
was in New Havea and only once and nothing I'M
proper passed between us-no kissing. no embracine'
nor anything Bishop testified falsely when he
said had been there four times.
A SHIRT. KISSES.
It was further TO go to his house after the shirt
that had agreed to x for him than 1t was to go 10
his store after it; my husband went part way Win
me and knew all about the matter; never went
to Bishops store in the evenings after his wife died.
because thought it might excite comment; went
into the house without rapping the door being I'M
locked and did not consider it improper; he had the
shirt ready for me and took it and left mmediatey
and alone and went into Mrs. Lees part of the house
j had no other reason III the world for going there
except get that shirt up this time after all our
Wake with Bishop alone in the evenings except that
he sometimes met me In the street and walked
home with me; often in the mornings. when Bishop
called take my orders. he would tell me where he
had been the night before because after his wife
died he complained that he was very lone
with himself. and thought of beginning
drinking again; one morning he told that he had
been out riding the r t b nn, S Sd
he was riding; didn't ask him about any woman.
because didn't think it was any OF my business;
me when out driving, because never went out rid
ing with him alone.
THOSE CHARMING WALKS.
The witness then cross-examned at great
length ~ to reported walks with Bishop the details
being wearisome and developing no new facts Of i'm
portance that not given in her examination in

walks and where she went came from her, she some

MED it positively. Continuing. witness said =
mother-inlaw had been talking to my husband about
bishops attentions to me and that my husband had
that it was said that he had poisoned his wife; he
threatened to bring suit for Islander against my
mother-in-law; from january. 1876. up to the time
of my husbands death there was never an
event that would suggest correspondence or
secret meetings with Bishop my friendship with

At this point the state Attorney detected an al

answer to inquiry she said that she had the book

several weeks and used it for fixing dates which

earnestness After his wife died felt only respect
for him and he bad reason to believe that II she
was out of the way would look on him with more
