The other doors of the house were all shut?—All the other doors were shut.
And after you and he searched the house all over, you went to bed and he went back to the pottery?—No; he stopped while I put on the remainder of my clothes, and I went back with him to the pottery, after having locked the door.
You went with him to the pottery?—Yes.
And you say that you told West this story directly?—Yes, I told him that Mr. Church came down into my room and behaved in a very indecent manner.
You told him, I take for granted, that Church had been there, and laid hold of your private parts?—Yes.
You told him that Mr. Church had laid hold of your private parts?—Yes.
How came that to be a reason for you and be searching the house for thieves?—I did not search the house for thieves in particular; but to search if any body was in any of the rooms.
But I asked you before whether you did not search the house for thieves; and you answered “Yes.”—Are you right or wrong in that?—I asked you before whether you and he did not search the house for thieves, and you told me that you did?—We searched the house: we looked all over it, to see if there was any body in any of the rooms.
And therefore I asked you expressly whether you and he did not search the house for thieves? and did you not say expressly that you and he had searched the house for thieves?—We searched the house; but not for thieves in particular.
Then you did not think of thieves?—I did not think of thieves, because I knew who it was.
