I was present at its birth ... it was much darker than when born, and darker than at present ... I am of opinion it is mixed blood and thought so from the first moment I saw it.

it had the appearance of convulsions ... and had the appearance of spasms ... Mrs Reynolds said she had sent for Laudanum for herself abut said nothing further.

Mrs Reynolds took about a table spoonful of Catnip tead into which she put Laudanum enough to turn the tea of another color, I thought Mrs Reynolds was going to take it and told her not to put any more Laudanum in, it was enough, Mrs Reynolds took the tea containing the Laudanum, in her mouth and putting her mouth to the childs mouth, administered it, or a portion of it to the child

I thought the child mixed blood as soon as I saw it ... the breathing became very hard and irregular, and the child would wake up in starts, and scream powerfully
