the deceased was at his house Saturday Evening in a healthy condition. My wife asked my little girl to carry the child home and she did so, the next time I saw the child it was dead. I was sent to and I went over. I found the child lying dead on a quilt on the floor and in my opinion it was burned to death

her grand Father Ned Bean came and told her to go on home and he would stay till the mother of the child come

Ned Bean ... took the child and a fire and warmed the child and put it to bed he stayed there till the moon was about 2 hours high and he went home to look after his own son and both children was asleep when I left them

found the child lyin on the bed dead with its cloths burned off of it

She says she left her children at Forest House and did not know They were at her House till Mrs Cothran told her they were There
