THE END.
Transcriber’s Note
There is a paragraph on p. [373] which paraphrases testimony. The first segment has no opening double quote, but seems to end with one. An opening quote has been added at [373.15]. An emphasized quote is embedded in that passage, but also uses double quotes.
Beginning on p. [442], there is an extended passage which summarized the closing argument and ends at [444.13] with a closing double quote. That has been removed here, since there is no clear point where it would have been opened.
The text includes three instances of ‘villany’ at [127.14], [393.11] and ‘villanous’ at [322.27]. Thsese have been retained but are noted. No instances of ‘villainy’ are found. The words ‘vister’ and ‘visitor’ each appear four times. Both are retained.
At [172.16], a line ends ‘use,’. The following line begins ‘less’. It seems obvious that the comma was intended as a hyphen, hence: ‘useless’.
There were numerous instances of missing periods, frequently (but not alwasy) at the end of a line. These have been summarized here: Mr. ([i.1]); confidently. ([15.20]); propose it.

Most other errors involved missing or incorrect quotation marks or characters. Frequently, the text has space for the missing characters. These have been deemed as most likely to be printing errors, and have been corrected and are noted below. Spelling anomalies have been corrected if there is evidence of standard spelling elsewhere.
