Lambert opened the door for me, and ushered me into the library, where Florence was receiving a lady caller. "Mrs. Cunningham," said Florence, as I entered, "may I present Mr. Burroughs Mr. Herbert Burroughs. I sent for you," she added, turning to me, "because Mrs. Cunningham has an important story to tell, and I thought you ought to hear it at once."
W^m Wormall," and represents that he, referring to the gun, "swore" that he "saw George Burroughs raise it from the ground."
Samuel Webber testified that, seven or eight years before, Burroughs told him that, by putting his fingers into the bung of a barrel of molasses, he had lifted it up, and "carried it round him, and set it down again." Parris, in his notes of this trial, not in the files, says that "Capt. Wormwood testified about the gun and the molasses." But the papers on file give the name as "Capt.
