At two o'clock, I went to H 's bedside; he was apparently in a sound sleep, and I did not place my hand upon him. At four o'clock I went into his room again, and, as his position was unchanged, I placed my hand upon him and found that life was extinct. I sent, however, immediately for a physician, and called Judge Bell and Colonel Hibbard, who occupied rooms upon the same floor and near me.
Solomon had, of course, been painfully awake to every hint and intimation in regard to Jim's case. He had seen Jake Hibbard, that carrion crow of the law, loafing about the corridors, and the sight had made him shiver. He had next heard that Jim's case would be quickly called, probably on the next day, news producing a complex emotion, the elements of which he could not distinguish.
Milton Hibbard arose and began his argument to the jury. It was a clear and forcible presentation of the case from his standpoint as counsel for the State. After recapitulating all the testimony that had been brought out during the course of the trial, he closed with an earnest appeal for the State against the defendant, showing conclusively that he believed the prisoner guilty.
Simmons & Hibbard can sell our goods low because it is only one department of a large business with them, and its proportion of expenses is not great. We will be compelled to do either less or more; either do a smaller business in guns and ammunition and at less expense, or to put in other goods and drum a larger variety of trade. We have pretty much decided to do the latter.
'But what is your price to Hibbard & Spencer? As though every salesman must have laid away in a snug corner, a special price for that important firm! `I have given you my price; it is the best I can do with anyone. They are not willing anyone shall make a cent but themselves; they want the whole apple, and are not willing to give the manufacturer the core."
Henry had been a prisoner now for more than a year, and was naturally near the time for his exchange if any one would look after the matter. After quite a delay on account of her being taken sick again, the time came for her to leave for Richmond, and after thanking Hibbard for his courtesy, and tendering manifold thanks to Mrs.

There had been less tension of voice in his joking about Miss Hibbard. "Staniford," said his friend, "I don't know whether you noticed her, at dinner, when she looked across to our own side?" "What did she do?"
With the first petulance Milton Hibbard had shown during the trial he now turned to the prisoner's counsel and said: "Take the witness." "No cross-examination?" asked Nathan Goodbody, with a smile. "No." Then Betty flung one look back at the Elder, and fled to her mother and hid her flushed face on Mary Ballard's bosom.
Lawton, made all necessary arrangements for the two to visit the Superintendent at three o'clock that afternoon. Promptly at that hour they started, and when they entered the Superintendent's office outside the prison-pen they were received most courteously by Mr. Hibbard. At the same time his face wore an expression that made Miss Seraine shudder. His movements were sluggish, his manner uneasy.
"He's a lightning fellow; well posted; good natured; sharp as a needle, and a mighty sight better than his house. If he was in business for himself I'd buy all my goods of him." Yes, that was interesting; but I had other fish to fry. "Do you need any Lafoucheaux guns?" "Yes, if I can buy them right." "I will meet any price given you by Reachum, Simmons, or Hibbard Spencer."
