Notary Public.

William Ilanna- I heard Thornt Watson testify at the magistrate's trial at Brown's Valley. He stated that William Glenn had said that he was not the father of the child that he had had no chance for it. Watson said that he went and looked at the child and said to Maggie that she knew he had no chance to be the father of that child that he pushed the child from him and said he was as near to it now as lie ever would be. When asked if he had not been active in hunting up witnesses for this prosecution, he at lirst denied it, and afterwards, after second thought, and upon being asked another question, he admitted it.

William G. Hanna. I attended the preliminary examination at Browns Valley. Heard Thornt Watson testify. He said that William denied being the father of the child, and said that he was just as near to it as he ever would be. Tie refused at lirst to state about hunting up witnesses, but finally said he had.

Cross-examined. Am a cousin of Bill Glenn. Have no particular feeling in this case. Am a friend of his and have no enmity toward her. Watson is a brother to my stepmother—brother-in-law to my father. William Ilunna is my lather. Don't recollect Watson's saying anything about Glenn pushing the child away. He said that Glenn said he was as near to it as he over would be. .1 did think he prevaricated.

Tyre Ilanna. Was present at the preliminary examination. Heard Thornt Watson testify. He said that William denied being the father of the child and told Maggie that she had the advantage of him in the law. William Ilanna is my father. Am a brother of Lindsay Hanna and a cousin of Glenn's.

Cross-examined. Don't think Watson said that Glenn shook hands with her. He said he spoke: to her. Couldn't be positive that he said there was a silence of ten minutes. and that he made a remark to advance matters. He said that Mr. Glenn said "this is not my child, and you know that I know that it is not. Can't recollect what Mr. watson said it was that called forth that denial.

James W. like. Ques. Did not Daniel Green, near Sim. Clore's house, in the public highway, some time in September, 1S0S( say to you and Dr. Steele that Mag. Clore and Dick Garland wanted to marry, but that the old woman wouldn't let them, and that she wouldn't let Mag. marry any body else because she didn't want the six thousand dollars to go out of the family?

Ans. I recollect having a conversation with Green and Steele to that effect in front of Sim. Clore's house.

Henry E. Rhodes. I live in 'Wavehind. Am a Notary Public. I drew a will lor Margaret Clore.

James Demaree. I know Margaret Clore, Dick Garland and William Glenn. Am not related to either. Dick and Maggie were together very often. Went most every where together. They often passed my house late at night.

Mrs. Mary Garland. Am a daughter-in-law of old Mr. Garland—Calvin Garland's wife. On the second 'Sunday in May my husband was up to his father's and Maggie came down home with him. Presently Dick Garland came, and he and Maggie went together to Lindsay Hanua's. She asked me afterwards if Calvin had told me that she had run off from Bill Glenn at that time. She said that she didn't want Lindsay and Dolly Hanna to lind out that she had run off from Glenn. Speaking of this prosecution Dolly said, "If was just them they might go it." Our barn was raised the Tuesday after the lirst Sunday in May. We were at Garland's one Sunday in June, when Lute Garland and Lindsay Hanna were there. Can't say that Gleun was there. Do not know that he wfas not there.

Cross-examined. My maiden name was mary Deer. Am some kin to Maggie Clore, none to Glenn that I know of. Do not know that Glenn was there on that Sunday in June. If I knew he was there I would say so. I saw a man there, but can't tell

now

"Whether it was Lindsay Hanna or William Glenn. I have not said it was Glenn that I saw. I know that Lindsay was there.

Calvin Garland. Dick Garland is my brother. Am a son of old Mr. and Mrs. Garland. Don't recollect any conversation of Hawkins' at my house on the third Sunday in May. My barn was raised last spring a year ago. I was at Garland's one Sunday when Luther and Lindsay Hanna were there I did not see William Glenn there that day. I have seen him there ?ind talked to him there, but don't know what Sunday it was, nor I won't pretend to say what year it Was.

Cross-examined. I don't say what Sunday it was that I was there. I did not see Glenn's horse at the gate.

William Buser. I live in Scott township. I know Margaret Clore when I see her. I know Dick Garland personally. About the last of August or first of September I saw them together in a buggy. She was sitting up driving, and he was down in the bottom of the buggy with his elbow on her lap, or on the seat between him and her, I could not tell which.

Cross-examined. I came meeting them. I think it was about the middle of the day. Abraham Clark. I live in Parke county, three miles west of Waveland. Know Margaret Clore and Dick Garland. On or about the third Sunday in June I saw them together in a buggy, between sundown and dark. When I first saw the buggy it was coming toward me, and I could see but one person in it, and he seemed sort o' humped down. I got over the fence and waited till it passed me, and saw two persons in itDick Garland and Mag. Clore. When the buggy was coming toward me the one person that I saw occupied the middle of the seat. After it passed, the girl, Mag. Clpre, sat on the left and Dick on the right.

Cross-examined. Have known Margaret Clore ever since I can recollect. This happened on a public highway. The buggy was about fifteen panels of fence from me when I lirst saw it. I had to go up there to see about a bull of father's. I did not see them change their position, but know \ery well that they did.

Job Deer. I live at Calvin Garland's, in Parke county. In July, 1808,1 was at Calvin Garland's from March 1 to July 10. I know Margaret Clore and William Glenn. Am sligetly related to Margaret. No relation to Glenn. Talking over this, Dora Hanna told me that "Mag. had done ruined herself, and now it was every fellow for himself," and that the suit was now being prosecuted to clear their family. This was about the 27th of March—the last day I worked for Lindsay Hanna. Old man Garland said he would clear his family if it took his farm and all his money, on the Mond.iv altf" tin' JTMi of March. I was at Garland's Sunday when Glenn's horse got loose, and he took my hor.se to catch him. Can't tell what Sunday it was but I had been to the meeting—Lutheran meetin

Cross-examined. Was at Lutheran meet-

ing that day. Went from the Lutheran meeting, which was across the creek, to Garland's. I saw Glenn at Garland's one Sunday in June. Don't know what Sunday it was. I did not tell Glenn in the presence ot Marcus G. Sullivan that I would have to swear that he was second Sunday in June.

tGarland

Cross-examined. 1 live live miles from Garland's. They were going west. They could^o a quarter of a mile that way and then take the road home.

William Canine. Margaret Clore is my sister's daughter. My wife and Glenn's mother are cousins. I had some conversation with Garlands on the subject of the prosecution, and the old man stated that it was likely they would not prosecute the suit if it was not for what Dr. Steele and others had said about their family. The old lady said about the same.

Cross examined. He seemed to intimate that Dr. Steele and others had been circulating reports to the cffect that it was Dick Garland's child.

Cornelius Canine. Margaret Clore is a niece of mine. Am net related to Glenn. I was at Garland's about three weeks after the birth of the child with my brother William, and wa9 trying to persuade them not to prosecute, and they said tlicy would take my advice if it was not for what Dr. Steele and others had said.

Dr. Steele. I five in Waveland. Am a physician. Waited on Margaret Clore when she was confined. That morning, after the child was born, Margaret called fne to her bedside and asked me if I would be a friend toher? I told her I would do anything I could for her. She said that Dick was the father of the child, and that she wanted me to go to Dick and tell him not t.o say anything about it till she had a talk with him that if any body said anything to Dick about it, he would tell all and she didn't want him to do it. I asked Maggie how she was. She said she was better in body than che was in mind. I asked her what was the matter with her? She said she was going to swear the child to Bill Glenn. 1 then said to her, "You certainly are not going to do that?" She then said that she was compelled to swenir it to him that if she didn't they would kill her right there on that bed. I told her they would do nothing of the kind that they would not hurt her. I then asked her if she didn't recollect what she had told me the morning after the child was horn? She said that she did, but that she wanted me to keep that to myself. I told her that if I was called on as a witness, I would be compelled to tell it. She said that it I would not she would pay me well for it. I told her that would be no inducement at all to keep me from telling it. She then said that when she told me it was Dick's she thought she was telling the truth, but since she had come to compare dates she found that she was mistaken that it was two weeks too late for Dick. [NOTE.—The conclusion of Dr. Steele's testimony, cross-examination and the remainder of the testimony in the case will be published in our next issue.]
