menced Monday afternoon. She respond
ed to questions by Mr.. Russell:
Q-What was the nature Of your rela-
tions with DR.. Pipes while you was at his
house2 Ave we're friendly.
O.-Something has been said about
your kissing DR.. Pipes. What is the fact
about that? A.-After 1 had been there
some time, I always kissed him, when l
would be going away from the house, or on
coming back-always in the presence OF
Mrs. Pipes; treated Mrs. Pipes in the
same way; I never dreamed of an obi sction
from her; never kissed him, at any time,
when Mrs. Pipes was absent; Miss Ander-
son kissed Dr. Pipes also-the same thing
she would kiss Dr. Pipes when she went
away on a vacation, and when she came
back; we generally left about the same
time; the kissing would take place in the
presence OF the family-the boys-anyone
who happened to be there; this was also
true of Miss Anderson. When 1 was in
Bethany. in 1884, DR.. and Mrs. Pipes came
up after arrived; had been there six or
seven weeks; Miss Anderson and 1 had
gooe to WellsbuIg, and from there to Miss
Anderson's; we got there Wednesday even
ing: DR.. and Mrs. Pipes were there;
they came in a buggy; when l went into
the house, Mrs Pipes was sitting there;
Dr.. Pipes was lyi down in bed. in an
other room; went in and spoke to Mrs.
Pipes. and bye and bye DR.. Pipes came to
the door with Miss Anderson, she had
been in the room with him; kissed him,
hint did not pat him on the shoulder;
never did that; Dr. Pipes was very weak
so much 50 that he walked with dlfh'
Guilty; DR.. Pipes and took walk before
supper; We went 10 the church and grave
ward the graveyard Is directly across the
street from the house, and the church Just
beyond: Miss Emma came to me, and said
she was going TO help get supper and lot
DR.. Pines and me 20 take walk; l asked
Mrs. Pipes to 20, but she refused We were
in sight of the house all the time there
was nothing to conceal Us from the house;
We got back before supper; II ia not true
that We STAYED Out until bstween shutdown
and dusk; there is 8 stile Just IN front OF
the Church, and very short distance from
the house; We crossed it to get to the
church yard; Dr. Pipes walk ed very little;
we did not 20 any farther than the
Church; Dr. Pipes and l did not
take walk the next morning;
We we're not out together before break
fast; l think that morning they went to
Welsburg; Friday OF Saturday morning
we went out to shoot with revolver
Miss Emma Anderson was with us; 1t was
after breakfast; We went down over the
hill-there is a little orchard-tO the
creek; we sat up mark on tree, and
shot At il; We were there probably an hour;
I suppose the family saw ia start; don't
remember about that; Miss Emma Ander-
son was with rs all the time; 1t was not
very far; there WAS a little hill, and l re-
memb DR.. Pipes had some little diff
Guilty in getting up the hill; l remember OF
nothing being done, except shooting at
the mark; ! do not remember the hour; we
did not start about eight O'Clock, and re-
main away until noon; while at the An
der. on house. DR.. Pipes paid me no par
ticular attention; he treated me in no way
different from his treatment Of Miss An
dersop: at no time did l speak TO DR..
Pines In undertOnes, or dodge about with
MIN; be had borrowed some money
from me, and l once asked him for
it.; he handed the money to
me: it was right before the windows;
we went to camp-meeting Sunday 1t Is
perhaps three or four miles; We started
quite early and got there before service;
/ think the first person l met when We
drove in the camp ground was Mrs Lyle;
', as with her the entire day; 1 was not
particularly acquainted, except with Miss
Emma; I don't recOllect being separated
from her; did not take buggy ride with
Dr. Pipes that day; / was not IN buggy,
except going aud coming We ate dinner at
the hotel; don't know about the positions
at table; we took luncheon in the shade;
the table cloth was spread on the ground
do not recollecJ positions, except that l
sat with Mrs. Lyle; l do not know where
DR.. Pipes sat- have no recollection; l
have no recollection OF a buggy cushion; l
do not recOllect eating of the same plate
with DR.. Pipes; it is my best recollection;
/ did not sit near DR.. Pipes; have no rec
objection drinking out of the same cup
with Dr. Pipes; 1t ia my impression that
there were not very many cups; l think
Il L hurra rrnan tha q
cup; l know the Doctor paid me no special
attention that day; ! think l can say
truthfully 1 did not converse with
DR.. Pipes ten minutes that day
think ] can say five minutes: il
I did talk with Dr. Pipes, it was in Mrs.
Lyle's presence; l did not talk with him
alone; l went back with Mrs. Lyle; after

ey ride and / did not answer that l did
