I then asked him—"Have I ever misused you any way?"
Foster said—"I do not feel at liberty to answer this question, under existing circumstances?"
I again asked him—"Did I ever misuse you?"
He again replied—"I do not feel at liberty to answer under existing circumstances."
I then asked—"Did I ever wrong you in deal, or personally misuse you in any shape?"
Foster said, "I do not feel at liberty to answer. I have treated you Christianly and friendly too, so far as I have had the ability."
I then asked him to tell me where I had done wrong, and I will ask his forgiveness; for I want you to prove to this company by your testimony that I have treated you honorably.
Foster then said—"I shall testify no further at present."
I then asked Justice Aaron Johnson—"Did I ever make oath before you against Simpson?"
He replied—"Not before the prosecution."
