Junius Rochester. who sat pale and
sniling sardonica.ly almost facing the
witness, was pointed out TO hef. but she
said she had never seen nor talked with
him about the viii nor anything else.
Then she was asked whether she had ever
tod anybody about the papers Mrs. Yesler
was looking through or that she had
heard the "iIl mentioned. excep. Mr. Low
man. Mr.. Fairfield, DR.. Jordan. DR.. Van
Buren, and DR.. Russell, but, being pressed
hard, said:
Well, several people talkef 20 me about It.

Mr "hit=: want ~ Harold broueh. here
Mrs. Fay: o., yes; Jr. Harold asked re about
the Will
This introduced a searching examina-
ton as 10 Detective Harolds visit to her,
and she went on:
Sir Harold came 20 my room two weeks ego
today. thought he was detective from the
way he spgke. H. asked rae II was the nurse
tast attended Ar. fesier, ana / said yes. /
thought probably he was going 10 engage me I'm
some case, ana then he said: "Tel re what
you know about this will" And / looked at
him quite ast0nished, and I said: 81 do not
know any hing more about the will than said
90" Now, di-remember what l said 70
him, wnetne: related anything a0ou, the will
10 hlIa or not / believe said tha. had told
Nj. Fairfield anything that / knew about the
Will. lie did not tell me that SIR. Fairfield or
Mr. Lc|fDan had sent him. 3r. Harold came
four times. He was the messenger Mr. Fairfield
sent 10 me.
Mr.. White tried to convict the witness
OF seif-contradiction by insisting that she
had said before that messenger boy
came, but she maintained that she
said man came 70 her. The night
she went 10 the Office of Mr.. Fairfield
Harold was no; present.
Some close questioning as TO her con.
yersations with Harold found her recol-
lection OF details rather vague Asked
whether he wanted 10 know all the cir
cunstances, how people acted in the Yes
Ter house, whether any promises of reward
Tor information were made, whether he
told her he was in the employ of Mr..
Logman or Mr. FairHeid, she uniformly
answered No. with much positiveness
she told Harold what Jordan and Vsn
Baren had said about the eagle family.
but no; about the Will and the papers Mrs.
fesier was destroying. After making
this statement she admitted having told
the substance OF the conversation in Jor-
dams Office.
Here Mrs. Fay suddenly broke off from
the main subject of her testimony and.
shaking with sobs, began TO complain that
her former testimony IN regard TO her hus-
bands crime had not been reported cor
rect!y, saying:
Tne other day in the papers here they said
tina; ,esIihc 81 10 sou that knew iny husbands
conduct before came here or that / did not
deny L. want 20 say now that did not know
anything about II and they got that wrong; they

Mrs. Fay then returned to the main
question AZ issue and proceeded To tell how
she came To 5e shown the letter TO DR..
Smith. saying:
We were conveFslng about different things and
Mira kusselI explained how Mrs Yesler had
treated her and that she di1 not think very much
Of Mrs. iesler. and that she did not know her
hand from Ter toe. Then site went on to xp!ain
t. me about how DR.. Jordan had not meant to
sald thought lie dIe, and s..e said no, that il
not meant for me. that u wa. meant for
Mr.. Gage and Mrs. Yesler. Then she asked me
