S APOUO is one of the be?t known city luxuries and each time a cako is used an hour is saved. On floors, tables and painted work it acts liko a charmer For scouring pots, pans and metals it has no equal. If your store-keeper does not keep it you should insist upon his doing so, as it always gives satisfaction and its immense sale all over the United States makes it an almost necessary article to any well supplied store. Everything shines after its use, and even the children delight in using it in Sheir attempts to help around the house. #r

and Mrs. Whitehead also stayed. Mr3. Pettit said to Dine that she would be well in a few days witness left at 6 on Monday morning and one dose of quinine was given during her stay Mrs. Pettit was resting quietly when witnass left, Patient vomited a black substance during st^y of witness after drinking strong coffee those present told witness that Mrs. Pettit pulled two teeth during her convulsions was there also Monday afternoon patient was still improving so Mrs. Whitehead said was there again in the evening of Monday, but saw no one but three or four ladies and Pettit talked to defendant and ho asked witness to stay TueRday uight to which she agreed got there at 8 o'clock Tuesday night and found several ladies including Mrs. Whitehead. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, now of Kansas, were also present. Mrs. Pettit was having convulsions. She would clinch her hands and [cry, quick! quick! throwing baok her head. These convulsions lasted only a few minutes after them the body would relax. Saw her have three or four convulsions periods between them were different, average maybe half an hour. She ceased to have them about midnight. She cried "quick," when she wanted oliloroform whioh would be administered by the ladies. She was always conscious witness sat up all night and saw Pettit give one dose of medicine in the presence of the Doctor. It was taken from a glass. Pettit had supervision of the medicine. Witness left at 8 o'clock next morning leaving patient in a stupor, Pettit was up all night. Mrs.

Whitehead went upstairs to bed at 11 p. m. Tuesday night, Did not know that Pettit went up stairs. Heard conversations though in Mrs. Whitehead's room, and thought she recognized Pettit's voice. This was a short time after Mrs. Whitehead retired. Adine had been put to bed in. the same room two hours before. Witness helped get breakfast next morning using the food and dishes in the parsonage. None of those eating were sick afterwards. Witness took no strychnine to the parsonage and gave Mrs. Pettit none. Did not see Mrs. Pettit's body until Thursday morning at the funeral. On Wednesday morning Mrs. Whitehead said she would go upstairs to take a whisky bath at the instance of Pettit. Some time after witness saw Pettit and Mrs. White head come down together and wondered what Pettit had been doing up there. Did not know that Mrs, Whitehead was up there then saw her come down soon after, however. Witness remembered the Battle Ground Camp meeting that year. It commenced on the Thursday following Mrs. Pettit's death. Witness wont the following Saturday and saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead there. David Meharry and Mrs. Whitehead, witness and husband occupied Pettit's cottage. Saw Pettit Saturday night at close of the service. Witness and husband had been at service and coming into the cottage foundPettit and Whitehead talking retired with husband soon after there are three rooms In the cottage, one upstairs and two down staiis separated by curtains down stairs there was one bed in one room and a cot in other slept with husband up stairs in one of tho bods in tho up stairs room Mrs. White-

head occupied tho other tho foot if witness bed wis at, the htmci ot Mrs. Whitehead's Mrs. Whitehead retired when witness did remained at cottage next night also yaw Pettit that night, also at tho service he said he couldn't bear to go to per vice because of his wifeY loudness for them. It broke htm all up to go. Saw him later on a bench at the cottnge his knee resting against Mrs. W'slap left the two on the porch al )iie upon retiring they came in thortlv Mrs. Whitehead did not come up till near midnight witness rested on her elbow listening and heard the creaking of the cot down stairs Mrs. Whitehead did not come up for some time afterwards Pettit slept down stairs that night. lie came up stairs next morning before tho party wore up and laughingly accused Mrs. Whitehead of hugging her pillow. She said she had nothing else to hug. He said she should got something and she said she intended to, whereupon Pettit said he would halo to be the fellow as she hadn't had one for so long that she would use him up. Pottit then walked up to tbe bed, tickled Mrs. Whitehead awhile, and then went downstairs. (.During this racy description which Mrs. Hawthorne gave with much hesitancy and modesty the crowd roared while Judge Snyder rapped for order. The madly joyous cockle of several antiquated females was heard high above the din as they stretched their pretty nocks to catch every word. Pettit himself looked bored "and blushed slightly.) Witness talked with Pettit

Sunday night about his conduct with Mrs. Whitehead ho said the talk was all gossip and that all was right told witness not to tell Mrs. Whitehead about it as ho would do so witness did speak to her though on Monday morning after this Pettit changed his mind and told witness to speak to Mrs. Whitehead Mrs. Pettit had not been dead a week then. On the next Wednesday or Thursday after campmoeting had another conversation with Pettit about his conduct this was at the house of witness Pettit was there to supper Geo. Hawthorne, and wife wero also there Pettit demurred at talking before George Hawthorne, but denied all Illegal intimacy with Mrs. Whitehead witness said she knew this was untrue Pettit made no answer to this but Hung his litad. On Tuesday night the medicine was given in a glass it was prepared on a table in front of the parlor door slio pointed it out on the diagram water was obtained by Mrs. John Kerr for Pettit who prepared medioine at the table Pettit gave it to his wife on Sunday evening Pottit gave medicine, Dr. Yoegemot being there Mrs. Pettit objected but he insisted she took the capsule and rubbed it off on her dress before taking it. Mrs. Whitehead said she did not want to take it because she did not like quinine on Wednesday morning Pettit gaye medicine again while doctors were out in consultation never saw anybody else but Pettit give medicine her impression is that about midnight Tuesday night Pettit gave a dose. (Motion by defense to strike out this last was overruled.)

Haywood asked witness to tell any other conversation which occured at her house the Thursday after campmeoting. After some thinking she spoke as follows without interruption:

After Pettit said that he would not talk before George, George told him that he had things to say to him that he didn't care to say to him before the official board meeting, that he had better stay and talk to him and he sat down and talked and the first thing he said was, "you said that I was not the right kind of a man," and George told him that he didn't think that he was, or any other man was not the right kind of a mail that would bury as nice a wife as he had and come baok and go to paying attentions to another woman and mnk. ing preparations to get married and he denied that he did that and he said that a man in Lafayette said: "Wasn't it strange that Mrs. Whitehead personally would talk that way, for what would hurt him (Pettit) would hurt Mrs. Whitehead." George said: "Pettit, that is some more of your slick tongue." George says I know too much about this, and Pettit says, "Yes, you have talked to Mrs. Whitehead until you have made her sick when she was not to blame. I am to blame, come to me and not to her he said he had pumped liter and give it all away. George said that was a family affair and it was none of his business Jesse said that he had been given a leave of absence for three weeks to go and bury his wife and they would have given him until Conference through sympathy but you returned -to Lafayette and made arrangements to meet Mrs. Whitehoad and brought her home and made arrangements for getting married within a week after your wife's death," and Pettit denied that and said that he did not he said that when he got to Lafayette he found out that Mrs. Whitehead loved him, and Jesse asked him why his haste to get married and he said ho wanted to make a home for his little gitl. George said: "Pettit, if you had waited even six months wo would not have said anything."

Witness told him young people had noticed him and iurs. Whitehead and were disgusted people also thought actions at camp meeting were sicken-

Pettit said ho would, like to come back to Shawnee and asked should he behave himself until conference if they would take him back. Said ho was coming back anyway, whether to preach or not and where one has lost a thing is the best place to find it Pettit said to George Hawthorn that he hoard some one tnreatenod to whip and George said he supposed it meant him, but said he would not do it Pettit said Ethan Meharry did not care enough about the business to turn over hia hand Pettit on Sunday night before death said that witness need not stay although she suggested that it would do no harm to stay. Uncle David Meharry said he

"No, the question was not asked mo ana as tho matter was indelicate I did not speak of it." "Did you purposoly conceal itf"

Tho witness hesitated and evaded and finally said thj question had never been askeit her before. George Hawthorn did not mako threats to whip Pettit didn't deny improper relations all tho timo when ho became peuitont ho confessed that ho had done wrong.
