A. (7, 8, and 9 I was married in Millersourg, Ky., the 30th of June, 1850, in the of presence Sarah C. Stanwood and S. L. Blaine. The marriage was tecret. Having doubt subsequently of its validity under the laws of Kentucky, which then stringently requited a license from the clerk ot the Oounty Court, I had'the marriage solemnized a second time in Pittsburg, Pa., on the 29th of March, 1851, in the presence of John Y. LbMoyne and David Bell. 10i What acquaintance had yon with Jacob Stanwood 11. What relation, if any, was he to the pel son you married?

IJhad two letters from him after my marriage -and before I met him—one warmly welcoming me as a member ot the family—the other inquiring if he could promote my business interesta by a loan ot money. I had no other cor. respondence ot any kind until after I had met him in February* 1852.

A. I have not myself seen the stone since the first week 3B July, but have reason to believe, snd do believe, thst since that date many of the letters and figures thereon have been defaced, ana that the figure 1 in the year 1851 has has been entirely removed. I have no means of ascertaining by whom this was done, but have reason to believe, snd do believe, that a photograph was. taken of the defaced stone by procurement of one of the publishas ot the New Age, a Democratic paper published in this city, and that copic? of said photograph were sent to divers and sundry persons, including the publisher of the Indianapolis defendant of this suit 19. What acquaintance have you with the book called' The Life of Jamea G. Blaine," written by Russell H. Conwell, with the introduction by Governor Robie, of Maine, and published by E. C.

Did not yon communicate to the author of said book, for his use in such work, the time and place of your marr
„, and 22.) I know the
book referred to as "The Life of James G. Blaine." I did not revise the volume* nor become in any degree responsible tor sny statement made in it, thongh I ssw parts of it beiore publication, but I did not, and have not to this day, seen page 68, to which the question refers, thongh the* statement there made was doubtless derived by the author, Bussell H. Conwell, from conversation witn me, but not from sny special authorization by me to make it.
Witness my hand and official seel at AngU6ta, in said district, this 17thday of September, in the jf6ir of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four.
