Mr. Clegg: It is not an answer to my question. I do not care about her reasons.—(To witness): Did you send him a letter about it?—No.
Mr. Clegg (holding a bundle of letters in his hand, and calling the attention of the witness to one marked No. 6): Look at this letter. Is it in your handwriting?—No.
Is it in your husband’s writing?—No.
Do you know whose writing it is?—No, I don’t.
Did any person know of your wish that he should frame the picture of your husband’s mother but your husband and yourself?—Not that I am aware of.
Except your husband and yourself?—Not that I am aware of.
Have you ever seen the prisoner write?—No.
You will swear that you never saw him write?—No, I never saw him write. My husband used to write for him. I have seen him sitting at a table with writing materials in front of him.
Can you tell his writing if you see it again?—I have not see him write.
(Peace here leaned against the table, and looked with great interest at the witness.)
