me to nv room door, and afterwards came
in. Mrs. Pipes came to the do u and looked
in and went away; We talked loud, 30 any
one could have heard us IN the ball; she

90: she said something to him about his
]
Maine; was excited; we both tried to ex-
plain TO ber; he said nothing about ner
going to her mother; he never said that;
the Doctor was not on his knees, in the
room; he WAS either sitting on the plate Of
the stove. or leaning on It; there was no
/ fire in the stove; it was cold enough for
fire, but there w0s no coal; my clothes
were not up so my stockings showed; he
bad not hold of my hand. nor did he touch
me; she came back a second time.
| O.-You came back from Steuhenvllle,
and had talk with her? A-Yes; my
recollection is distinct; she said she
thought the Doctors head was ON my
shoulder, and apologized she asked me TO
stay; remained until June, 1884, did
not cone back after vacation and eudeavOr
to get boarding from her again; they have
not kept boarders at the Doctors, since
left, except young man who was going 70
school. and was there for few months;
NAV have said, at the time she spoke OF the
stock inciden', that l was sorry she had
not spoke of it before, it was 80 near the
cloee of the school, and asked to have been
allowed to stay.
O-Miss Anderson was in the habit OF
kissing DIR. Pipes, on arriving or leaving,
for vacation? A.-Yes, it began two or
three wears after / went there; it is not
probable | would kiss stranger. Az
Bethany the church stands opposite the
Anderson house; the DR.. and his wife got
there Wednesday evening; we were al
Wellsburg, aud came out from Weilsourg
in the hack; when we arrived Mrs. Pipes
WAS In the parlor; she met us cordially;
kissed her. did not 20 in where Dr.
Pipes was lying down; when he came In
IN the door. | kissed him; this was some
time in the afternoon; invited Mrs. Pipes
twice to 20 walking with us; l am not
mistaken about this; Miss Anderson came
in and said she was going to help get sup
ner: I think she said: Miss Sephens, take
the folks for a little walk" Mrs. Pipes
said she was tired; she remained in the
parlor. and we went out to the graveyard;
ALI parts of it could be seen by
one sitting down in the parlOr; if any one
said to the contrary. it is untrue; we did
not walk much the Doctor was not able
to walk; we were gone bat very short
time-were back promptly for supper; l
think the Doctor and his wife went to
Wellsburg Thursday; the revolver shooting
was either Friday or Saturday; 1t WAS down
by the creek; we stayed about an hour; we
came back with Miss Anderson; l don't
know whether Mrs. Pipes was insulted;
abe was as cordial as usual saw nothing
amiss; | do not think we could have re-
manned until noon; the only conversation
with DR.. Pipes, apart from others, was
when l asked him for the money; when we
went to the camp.meeting / was expecting
Mrs. Lyle, and met her very shortly after
we arrived; she came over from Buffalo by
herself; was with her the other day;
there is no foundation for Mrs. Pipes say
lug the Doctor and | shared buggy
cushion; do not recollect the positions we
occupied at the luncb, hut recOllect being
by Mrs Lyle, and presume from
tina; the Doctor was not by, as they were
on bad terms; ale did not want to 90 TO
Miss Andereou's ON that account; under
the circumstances do not think it likely
he would be on the other side OF me from
Mrs Lyle; think l can say he did not;
there is no foundation for Mrs Pipes as
sertiug DR. Pipes aud ate of tbs same
plate; the cup may have been passed
around.
Q.-You were present at the Chicago
trip? A.-Yes. think it was in 1888,
in the summer vacation; it was an ex-
cursion; we went on one railroad aud
came back by the q o; am positive
DIR. Pipes spoke to Mrs. Pipes; the con-
versation was general; Dr. Pipes and Mrs.
Pipes were always together; | recOllect
distinctly our being on boat on the lake;
she was teasing him about turning green,
and he denying he was seasick; If there
had been no conversation between them,
l would have noticed it.
