Witness never called Mr.. Hayden a
q drunkard, and never knew OF lis
drinking except for his asthma. She
thought tire Haydeps lived beyond
their means. but her father Was close
man. She never heard anything about
giving Alice q farm at the time her
father gave witness fam. Her
mother didn't sign ths deed Of her
farm. but she didn't ask why, and
don't know whether 1t was because
Alice didn't get farm Or not. Her
mother didn't want Mrs. Skinner 70
have any of her clothes, because "Eiec-
ira would take things that DIDN'T be-
long To her," Her mother wanted the
clothes divided between her two dsugh-
tiers, but Alice took them all. Wit
ness declared she was not III the habit
Of interfering IN her fathers business,
and so did not demonstrate with HIM
when he charged Alice up with the
whole amount (Sf09) for the clothes,
half of which really belonged to her.
Will Browns testimony IN regard to
the life insurance was false. Witness
got the money to pay that insurance
from different sourccs. Witness had
remarked to her father that Alice look
ed like the Cross family. She did not
remember her father saying anything TO
Mrs. Bigelow, such as appeared IN that
lady's testimony. Her first husband
had been married before he married
her, aud had a family, but she couldn't
remember how old the children were,
neither could she remember when those
children were married. Witness was
in the habit of visiting her first hus-
bands people, but didn't rcmeni Der how
often. Witness didn't know Of anyone
asking her father to go up to her
mothers SICK room. except himself.
Witness led him up 70 the room

but couldn't tell one thing that they
said to each other, although she stood
in the room all the time. She couldn't
remember whether he ever expressed
. wish to 60 again, nor could she re-
member Whether Mrs. Lucas ever
called to see her mother or not. Wit
ness did not sit on the steps with her
| father q good share of the time her
mother was sick. She did not return
| the present OF srlasher that Alice
sent her in 1883 to Alice, but gave it to
| her father to take to her mother. be-
cause she herself had no use for it. and
| the mother had. Witness had seen
Mr.. Salisbury in Mr.. Makers office ana
employed hm N the case. She fur
nished him some money to go down to
New York state, but she didn't know
whom he was to see there.
Mr.. Russell objected to the questions,
and wanted to know for what purpose
certain questions were asked.
The objection was overruled, and IN
exception taken.
Resuming, witness knew that Mr..
Salisbury was going to Watertown. but
didn't know he intended TO STE X. r.
Brown: didn't know he went there by
the name of John Jones; didn't know
that Mr.. Salisbury represented himself
| to Mr.. X. X. Brown as coming from
Mr.. Gleason, and didn't know that Mr..
