and facts We had been to the Opera
House, and got home about IL O'Clock; 1t
WAS very cold; Mrs. Pipes said, when we
got home, that the girls were up stairs in
bed: Mss Greenlee said she wOuld 90 home,
bat Mrs. Pioes said mo, we can fix this;
thew went up stairs, and when | came up,
the fire was banked down, and the gas

in front of the lounge; | lay down on the

don't know whether one, or two, or three
or four o'clock, / had call-the door bell

and then said: "Sally, l can't stand this;
Won lay over, aud I'll lay down here" she
said: 81 don't want to he crowded
M. Won get in the middle; Miss Greenlee
won't care" didn't stand much on cere-
mouy, but jumped in; Miss Greenlee
didn't say yes or no; she may have said
something about not caring l slept
soundly till morning. Mrs Pipes got ap
first; Miss Greenlee asked: "How am 1 to
get out of bed?" l said 1 would cover up
my face, and my wife said, jOkingly: "Yes,
and look through your fingers" They
got mp and dressed and l lay there for an
other nap. They went down long before
me.
Q-You weot TO Chautauqua the next
summer A-Yes, Miss Greeniee and
Miss Gorby, of Bellaire, went with us;
Miss Pipes was quite intimate with Miss
Greenlee, up TO 1881 after that they
were not so cordial; The witness started
to tell "a little incident" which he said
led to the GOODNESS, but it was objected
to. In the spring of 1881, before we
started to Chautauqua, Mrs. Pipes said:
81 like that girl, she is not one of those
nasty nice girls; can trust her." This
was along in the summer; it was the first
and only time che referred to it; she was
talking about Miss Greenlee; | don't know
that she mentioned the bed scene.
Q.-Whea did Mrs. Pipes frat say any
thing about the bed scene? Al never
heard it mentioned, from the time it oc-
Cured, till June, 1887.
Q-Who mentioned it then? A.-She
did in a conversation we had about these
dirty. filthy stories; she said DR.. Mccoy
bad told her Miss Greenlee had said Mrs.
Pipes was jealous of Miss Stephens and
herself; then she began to wage war
against the girls, and began to try TO pre-
vent their appointment as teachers; she
began to tell stories about Miss Greenlee
and Miss Stephens, but not IS she told
them here; abe said it was not very nice
in girl, to be in bed with married
couple, and said it was her fault.
Q.-YOu have heard the 1880 bed
scene? A.-Yes, it did not occur; never
heard it in the form it has been told here;
I'll tell what did occur; it was in the
spring of 1878, in the old house; one
morning while we were dressing, Miss
Greenlee looked in; Mrs. Pipes said
come in" She said she WAS not dressed
she had her night gown on, or some
thing like that. Mrs. Pipes said: "Oh,
the Doctor don't care; he has seen women
in their night gowns before" | said :
'OOme in; don't care" she came in;
think che was in her stocking feet; she
and Mrs Pipeswent down stairs, and left
me in bed, | remained for an hour or
more; she was not in bed with me, nor
did she throw her arms about me, nor l
about her; we were not alone; she WAS not
within six feet of me; that is the truth
about that story.
Go back to the 1877 scene; did you
say anything about her limbs? A.-No,
sir; never heard that limb story until
heard it on the stand it was new to me; l
said nothing about comparing limbs; that
story is absolutely false; l hate to say it,
but want to tell the truth.
Q.-At any time, apart from these two
occasions, did anything improper occurP
A.-No, unless upon rare occasions
Miss Stephens kissed the family goodbye;
then she would kiss me or l her; that
started in this way in 1873, or possibly in
1877, she was going away; she kissed my
wife, and I said she might as well pass
those around-teased her a little; Mrs
Pipes said: "You might az we'll kiss her
and let her go;n finally she allowed me to
kiss her; 1 may have played euchre at Miss
Greenlee's once or twice; never said il
Mrs. Pipes would call on Miss Greenlee
and give this thing the lie, would stay
on my side of the street.
