Ward swore to the same; he had told this one bit of truth by some unaccountable accident; so that the plaintiff had also proven that Hiram Fowler had worked for Cole on this land, and hence Cole was in possession of it in the lifetime of Fowler. When did Fowler die?
Her father was old like me, and sick, and she was a dear daughter like you." "Did he die?" she asked. "Yes, he died.
