Q. What sort of a person was it that came in the chaise?
A. It was a tall person rather thin than otherwise.
Q. Dressed how?
A. He was dressed in a pepper and salt great coat, with a scarlet coat under it, a Military scarlet coat; the upper coat was nearer the color of that coat I think than any thing I could state, (pointing to the coat before produced), the scarlet Military coat he had under that was very much trimmed with gold lace, it appeared by the candle light to be gold lace trimmed down the front; he had on also a cap, a Military cap with a broad gold lace round it—a band.
Q. What was the cap apparently made of?
A. The cap appeared to me to be made of cloth; I am not certain whether it was of cloth or fur, but it appeared to be nearly of the color of the great coat.
Q. Was there any thing particular about his Military coat?
A. On the Military coat was a star, and something suspended either from the neck or the button, I do not know which, something which he told me was some honor of a Military order of Russia.
Q. Was that thing at all like this? (shewing the star to the witness.)
A. Yes, it had very much the appearance of that sort of thing.
