time to take any stand, she had
been faithful to me, and l had my
doubts about what he told me. I
believe told my wife about it some
time afterwards, near the end of
October. This young man was the
only one that told me Of any init
macy with Patten. Mr.. Macintosh
told me nothing about Miss Horn.
After being married we moved into
house out at Palama, rented from
native whose name do not know.
The bill was made out in his name.
l gave him the money, and he paid
the bill. l had a slight unpleasant
ness with Mr.. Williams, so did not
care to go to him myself. We
stayed in the house about month,
and then moved into furnished
house. No. 25S Beretania street,
belonging to Mr.. J. Z. Wiseman.
We moved because the house was in
better and healthier location for
the children. / sold my own furni-
ture at auction. My wife told me
Patten had a furnished house which
he would let us have for $50
month. Patten paid the first months
rent. About the middle of October,
| found out that Patten had made a
present of the furniture to my wife.

placing me under obligations to
Patten. From what the young man

Patten, or heard from him. Patten
told my wife that he would kill her

and l feared it. AT this point the
Court adjourned until / o'clock,

At five minutes past l O'Clock
Bridges was put on the stand and
his cross examination continued.
My father-in-law may have made
oyertures to Patten to settle trouble
between us. l spoke to Mr.. Horn
about the nature of the letter had

Patterns wife's letters, that is why l
knew he was married. My wife, 1
thought, should be sympathized with
because she was young girl and
Patten an old man. 1 never sent
any letters to Patten, or said that I
would send him to the reef. Mr..
Horn promised to burn the letters
after left the country; he had his
reason for saying so. He advised
me to look out for Patten, as he
would do me injury before / left the
country. l borrowed 500 on a
diamond ring from Lyons & Levey.
