Basset Weaver sworn says: I live just below this on the road leading to town. I know dec'd P. Elizabeth Tillatson. She lived a little more than a quarter of a mile from this in a little old school house. Night before last my son-in-law, West Miller, came to my house just before eleven o'clock and said the school house was on fire. I asked him where the woman who lived in it was and he said she was at this house nearly burnt to death.... I went back then to my son-in-law's West Miller's. This woman was there sitting on a manure pile by the gate. She had a quilt thrown around her. I went out and brought her in the house. Her clothes were all burnt off. Just before 12 o'clock we put her in a chair and brought her to my house. Yesterday morning we brought her up here. She was conscious while at my house. She said that she fell two or three times coming from her house to West Miller's. We looked yesterday and from where she had fallen twice we saw no pieces of clothing at all. She said at our house that she had something to tell us but died without telling it. I rented the school house to Ann Huntsinger. She and this woman lived together there until a short time ago, when Ann left here. Elizabeth staid on. There was no furniture in the house, not a table, chair or bed. There were two benches and a very little clothing. Basset his mark Weaver

Frances Turner sworn, says: The Dec'd is my niece. In the night, the night before last, some one came after me and told me that her house was on fire and that her clothes were burnt off. I went to her, found her at Basset Weavers. She was about twenty two years old, very well and stout. I asked her how she caught on fire. She said she did not know how she caught, that it all seemed like a dream, that she was up very late and left very little fire when she lay down. Dec'd lived with me six months. She left here about two months ago and went to live in that school house with Ann Huntsinger. On one day last week Ann moved away to another house. It was said that they did not live agreeably. On last Sunday week I heard Ann Huntsinger say that when she got her things out of the house she did not care a damn if it burnt down on Elizabeth. Elizabeth or "Deuce" as we called her was conscious until her death. She knew all who came to see her. Ann Huntsinger came in and asked her if she knew her and she replied "No! I don't know you." Ann then told her name and asked if she did not know her, she said "No I don't! God never intended me to know you." She paid no more attention to Ann. She spoke to me a great many times and said she wanted to tell me something but hever told it. I asked her several times to tell me, but she would say "Never mind, I will tell you!" I asked her if she thought anybody did her this injury. She said she did not know. Frances Turner.

Alex. Boyd, sworn, says: I passed the house where Dec'd lived night before last between eleven & twelve oclock. I suppose I was no nearer than the road to the house. I heard three voices laughing on the hill near the house as I passed. I saw a little smoke in the moon light, as if from a chimney but don't know whether it came out of the chimney or not. My house is about three hundred yards from hers. I heard two or three screams before I got home. After I had been home a while I heard it again up towards West Miller's and saw the house on fire.

Matilda Munroe sworn, says: Ann Huntsinger lives at my house now. She was at my house on night before last, January 15th. When the alarm was given about the fire, she awoke me. Ann went to bed that night first. I went to bed about 9 oclcok. Did not wake until Ann awok me. I think she and dec'd were good friends. I never heard her say anythign that would make me think that she would have burnt that house. I know she did not do it for she did not go out of my house. Matilda her mark Munroe
