the slip of paper found in Mis CV trunk, on which directions were written, fur her friends, if she were missing, to enquire for her of Rev. E. K.. Avery. It is pretended that sbe was an artful, designing person, and fruitful in expedients, and lhat all these letters, &c. were the fruits of a conspiracy un her part, to be aveng ed on Avery, and the methodist church. For the sake of argument, in this place, let it be admitted lhat she was actuated by a deadly hostility to Avery and the church, and was fully bent on revenge; and then let us inquire what place this little note could occupy in the elements of iurh a conspiracy, when subsequent fact' are taken into the account. She might have left Fall River, and secreting herself in some remote and so
