her association with Mr.. Houghkirk
and later with Mr.. Wilkerson and the
fact that she travelled over the country
in a wagon and also the stories circu-
lated in the papers OF what she had
said and done relative to the slaughter
house story and discrepancies between
what was reported she had said and
what Wilkerson had said" responded
Mr.. Jones.
Had you learned she had been in
the company Of both Wilkerson and
Houghkirk?'
Yes
What were your relations with Bert
MoCaull for several years prior to June
9, 1872 Senator Jones was asked.
There were none other relations
than that OF a customer at the store" !"
was the answer. The senator said that
after June 9 the relations remained the
same.
'-'"When did you first hear that Nc
Caull had piece of bone in his bill
lard hall or was exhibiting piece OF
bone?''
II first learned OF that from Mr..

particular at that time to impress the
condition Of the Interior of the building
on his mind, he declared.
