CHAKLEY HICKMAN.

thj young man who fainted in the witness stand during the habeas oorpus proceedings, took the stand. He made an impressive bow when sworn and said he was a nephew of Rev. W. H. Hick-

man ia a student of DdPnuw at present know Pettit, having mot him at His Unole'.s. Saw him there several times. Remembered calling at W. F. Pettit's on Saturday eveuing, Juno 28 or 29 was then cauvusiug font book of r. TuImage culled Social Dynamite. Some said it was G, some 8 and somo 10 miles from Linden to Shawneo. Found Pettit sitting on his porch. The remark I mado to him as ^1 frequently have said before, was "How do you do parsouf"' I told him I was a strange book agent and I wauled a recommendation. Ho wrote it and I then asked him if I could stay thero.but ho said his wife was gone aud he was staying at David Meharry's. I then asked him if I could go and sloep with him. (laughter.) He said 1 would not enjoy myself over there,[and I asked him why, and he said Undo David was over 80 and didn't enjoy young ooinpauv, and ho also told me there was a widow lady over there who didn't enjoy young company, (laughter loud and long in the court, jury aud all joined). He also said there was a young ladv there, a Miss Reese, I thiak it was, ablaok-eyed snappish girl, and you would not enjoy that, Charley. Pettit said his house was closed aud not lit to sleep in, aud he would write me a recommendation to get a place at Geo. Hawthorn's. Pettit said he was going to a festival at Odell. Then I asked him if couldn't go along as I was a stranger there. He first said he cjuldn't drive his horse after night, und was going with Uncle David's folks. Ho further said he would write mo a recommoudafciou to George Hawthorn, and then of course 1 lelt a little offended I didn't know what to think, and told him 1 didn't care whether he did or not, but he did and I took it. Remember his wi:'e coming homo ou Friday, July 12 was at the church tho next night' Mrs. Pettit asked witness to stay ail night but Pettit said house was not in condition. Mrs. Pettit then invited him to spend Sunday with them but Pettit again iuterposed and told him to cotne some time next week Mrs. Pottit told witness thut night she was tired out but had not lelt so well before in months. Saw Pettit going aud coming from Nowtown on Sunday was within 15 foet of the buggy "his face was yory red, he seemed in grout trouble aud eyed me keenly saw Pettit at David Mehuiry's thed iy witness arrived also saw him crossing the fields towards Uncle D.ivid's once i:l tin-ward before his wife's return.

Lives at Odell, Knows W. F. Pettit and his wife remember her death remember the meeting of the ollioial board but was not there althought notitiod talked with Pettit about his conduct with Mrs. Whitehead this was at Old Settlers' matting. Witness said that rumors were out that he had been making love to Mrs. Whitehead and asked him what he had to say. Ho re plied that his wife was the support of his family and when she died he naturally looked to some one for sympathy, and as Mrs. Whitehead was a preacher's widow he thought it was all right. He denied making love to her before his wife's death and ^lien he asked if he knew there were hints of his committing a crime said he knew what it was but that he and Mrs. Whitehead would come out all right. Saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead driving along the road with their buggies abreast one day after his wife's death they were talking to eaoh other and driving slowly. There was no cross examination.

JESSE M. HAWTHORN

Was then examined by Anderson. Lives at Shawnee and knew Pettit and wife remembered her death on July 17, '89 was at the campmeeting that year went on the first Saturday this was about two weeks ufter Mrs. Pettit's death witness got to campmeeting about noon with his wife Emma stopped at Pettit's cottage during his stay with David Meliarry, Mrs. Whitehead aud Pettit witness left on Monday morning saw Pettit on Saturday night at the cottage on coming fr^m the services about 9 o'clock with his wife, Pettit aud Mrs. Whitehead the front room no one was with them the lamp was lit and turned very low and shaded tho couple were sitting in the room oloso to a little table they were sitting facing each other as close as they could didn't know whether they touched as it was not light enough to see when witness came in Pettit turned up the light witness slept upstairs there is one room upstairs cottage is probably not plastered Mrs. Whitehead and witness' wife slept upstairs. Witness wife lived with David Mehurry eight years before marriage. Pettit left cottage before wituesa retired saw him the next day at the cottage witness was sick all day and was on the cot in the front room down stairs it was a folding canvas cot Mrs. Whitehead was there aud Pettit came several times to see the witnoss witness retired before his wife, about 10. His wife and David Meharry were there then David Meharry slept downstairs in a room curtained off he is 80 years old saw Pettit next morning when he ottme upstairs before witness aud ladies had arisen he came up after the gate money which was under witness' bed. Pettit came up and hooted at the remark of witness' wife which was, "I thought you were going to stay up all night." He then asked witness how he felt, and after getting the money and starting away he looked at Mrs. Whitehead and said she was hugging her pillow. He then came up to witness' bed and sat down on the edge and scuffled with wituess, and then to Mrs. Whitehead's bed and sitting on the edge scuffled with her awhile (laughter.) He then went down stairs. Witness went home on Monday Pettit said he slept on the cot Sunday night saw Pettit at David Meharry's just after his return from tho campmeoting.it was just before noon Pettit said things were in an awful shape and that there would be an official meeting tho next night and ho wanted witness to be there did not see Pettit attend any services at campmeeting. Pettit came to witness' house on the

evening before the ollioial board meeting. Pettit ariuved at his house about o'clock during supper Pettit ate supper then George Hawthorn aud wite oanie in a few miuutes later. In tho sitting room a conversation occurred Pettit did not want to talk with George preseut as ho satd George had talked to Mrs. Whitehead till she was sick and that ho had pumped her and given tho results away.

Ho also said to George: "You said that I was not tho right kind of a man," and George told him that lie didn't think that lie was, or any other man was not tho right kind of a man that would bury as nico a wife as he had and come back and go to paying attentions to another woman and niaking preparations to got married and ho denied that he did that and ho said that a man iu Lafayette said: "Wasn't it strange that Mrs. Whitehead would talk that way, for what would hurt him (Pettit) would hurt Mrs. Whitehead." Georgo said: "Pettit, that is somo more of yojr slick tongue." Witness said that ho had beeu giveu a leave of absence for three wojlts to go aud bury his wife aud thev would have given him until Conference through sympathy but he returned to Lafayette and made arrangements to meet Mrs. Whitehead aud brought her home and made arrangements for getting married within a week after wife's death. George said he could tell from tho way Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead had acted at the West Point depot when the former started to Now York with his wife's body that they wore lovers. Rut Pettit said he did not kuow Mrs. Whitehead loved him until ho camo back from West Mouroo. Pettit also said in regard to suspicious agaiust him if thai was Christian charity he was losing faith. George said if he thought this of tlioso who condom nod tho actions what did he think of himself for doing tho acts. Pettit said if it hadn't boon for the fear of God at tho grave of his wife he would not liavo been hero now. As ho was leaving Pettit referred referred to somo oue threatening to whip him. George sa.d ho supposed it meant him, but he need not l'ear nim. Pettit said he was not afruid of anything physical ani.1 left,

George said Pottit had twice insulted Ollie Reese, onco in tho dining ho 1' ad tried to pinch her and again in the hall ho had tried to throw his arms around her. Georgo said to Airs. Whitehead that if she was going to marry Pdttit she had better look up his character as lie had borrowed considerable money and perhaps ho was spending it on last women. To this Pottit said ho was in debt and had just paid off .^'200. Georgo said to him that after thinking it over they had decided that it was either weakness in him or rasculity Pottit replied "call it what you pleaso." Pettit left at 10 o'clock and tho witness saw him next evening at 7 o'clock at the called meeting of the oillcial board, it was called by Pettit to consider tho ru mors. Dr. Hickmau called the meeting to order aud stated ns the object of the meeting, the consideration of the iudiscreetuess of Pettit Hickman suggested that Pettit make a statement for himself Pettit then stated he had boon indisoreet and was sorry but he was net guilty of any crime if they would now support him there would never be any occasion for calling his character into question Pettit wept and seemed extremely penitent. He said nothing of future oonduct with Mrs. Whitehead several members of the the board arose and Baid that Pettit was a good man and they had never seen any wrong iu him. A. C. McCorkle moved that Pottit be allowed to remain the conference year out witness said there had been a wrong but he would not go into details there Dr. Yeager wanted to hear the particulars but Dr. Hickman said this was not the place to prefer charges thejconference was the proper place.

Got up Sunday morning at 4 o'clock and camo dowstairs lay on tho oot nearly all day Pettit did not go to services giving as an excuse, that his wife was fond of them and he couldn't bear to go don't remember whether he went to services Sunday night was probably at the cottage and retired about 10 p. wife went up with him but came down again don't know how long it was before she camo to bed think there was a short conversation when she came up, but went to sleep again immediately. David Meharry was in bed when witness retired heard no conversation on retiring Mrs. Whitohoad was not in bed when my wife came up the second time. (Kumler then endeavored to entangle the witness which enraged him considerably aud he several times appealed to tho court lor protection. The court ruled however thai tho examination was being conducted in a proper manner. The wituess was able to explain all his statements and none of them were contradictory.) Mrs. White head was awake when witness arose the

next morning and spoke to lior ato braakfust at the boarding house don't know whether Mrs. Whitehead was there or not saw Pottit next at Shawnee Mound when ho notified wituoss of tho board meeting, the ooard is composed of about a do/.eu men the names woi*» given and wituess explained that Dr. Yoagor's name was omitted because ho was not a member Pottit did not. ask to soe witnoss alone Invited Goo.

of '.fayette, was called. Is au undertaker. Was at Pettit's on the afternoon of July 17,1889, to embalm body of Mrs. Pettit. Received word by telegraph. Ate supper, thou embalmed tho remains and returned to Lafayette. Opened an artery in tho arm and injected the lluid. Also made a puncture with a hollow needle iu tho body. Took tho stomach with the intention of emptying it but there was so little in it that vitnoss put'it back after putting embalming fluid iu it. Fluid is composed of alcohol, arsenic, corrosive sublimate aud glyooriue and water. Alcohol or 1 pint, arsenic *1 ounces, corrosive sublimate 2 ounces, glycerine pint, need no strychnine in it. Prepared all tho lluid himself and purchased the drugs at Lafayette. Uso onlv tho best quality of drugs. Had no strychnine and put none ou tho body. Had no assistant. Closed t-iio incision ou tho arm with a plaster, tho oue on tho stomach by stitches, put tho body iu tho casket" early next morning and closed the lid put it ou the train examined tho iucnion just before puting body iu casket. They wore tho same as tho night boforo when witness left keeps no strychnine about his ollico.

CROSS.—Think tho work was dono by lamp light don't kuow sure, however nothing olso in tho embalming lluid but tho drugs mentioned. The arsenic referred to was arsouite of sodn. It is hard and white and of crystalline form used this in both iujoctious used about half a gallon of the lluid altogether, oorrosiuo sublimate was dissolved in the alcohol. Tho incision was about 1 inohos long in tho stomach no oue suggested how to lake care of tho body. Pettit told him "Charley, do what is necessary to have her look nice when she gets home." Pettit took no part iu the embalming witness did not wash out the stomach. Pettit gave no further instructions.

REDIRECT.—Did not toll Pottit what was necessary in embalming. Prepared the fluid at Lafayette in clean vessels and with pure water.

RECROSH.—Water was not distilled. REDIRECT.—Tho fluid was boiled. Defense gave notice they would need Bradsliaw again. (During the evidence of this witness Pettit knit his brows and looked down most of the time.)

HOMER STEESE,

of Lafayette, formerly au undertaker he has made a special study of embalming. (The defense objected to the question, "How long after death is the best time to embalm a body?" and tho prosecution withdrew tho question.) Has had personal experience in embalming. (If a person dies on Wednesday at noon and tho body is a spare one what is tho best time to embalm?" was objected to aud the court sustuined tho objection.)

Suppose a spare body was

embalmed 7 hours after death with tho fluid (heretofore described) how long would the body be preserved in July woather? (This was objected to but tho court allowed tho answnr to bo given under protest.) It would look natural and bo well preserved two or three weeks, and would bo recognizable in weeks. A musty odor would arise in/G days or two weeks.)

NORTON MEHARRY

Saw Pottit and Mrs. Whitehead between sundown and dark in tho highway in a buggy going from tho parsonage in tho fore part of July.

CROSS. —They snoke to wituess and it was light enough to easily recognize them. They were going in direction of Mrs. Hawthorne's and Mrs. John Kerr's. Did not know of missionary mooting at Kerr's. Went to Odell July 2 aud think that was the day witneus saw them.

I)KN OSRORN

was found in tho court room but as he was very meek and not aware of the rule providing for tho separation of witnesses ho was allowed to live and testify, lie wus tho turnkey of the Tippecanoe county jail last winter aud took Pettit up to Arthur Stuart's office one day he took him in tho back door and found Stuart and Judge Collroth iu waiting. He was told they would need Pettit for an hour. Pettit staid in that back room for t»n hour with Stuart in and out at times. (Col. Dollart then arose and in

hiB

majesty moved to strike out all tho evidence of this young muu as irrelevant. The motion was overruled promptly upon Haywood stating that they intended to prove Pottit and Mrs. Whitehead were hero to arrange a line of action.) w.

VATER,

son of S. Yater. On Monday proceeding the opening of campmeeting drove Mrs. Whitehead to Battle Ground. Did not see Pettit there remained there half an hour and then took Mrs Whitehead back.
