I heard Mary Phillips say, some three
months ago, talking about the mis-

and she said Adam Phillips had got
into scrape with Ruth Palmer. She
said Adam had her in the same fix as
the other one we were talking about.

were in the family way, and she said
William Phillips only saved himself
by marrying when he did, and my
girl said Adam was in a scrape with
Pol. Wilson, and Mary said no, it was
with Ruth Palmer, and said she heard
her Adam plaguing young Adam
about it, and he didn't deny it.
