O, how will she bear this shock! Dear mother dear children
But it was a woman who alighted. As this woman was in a state of great agitation, one of the men hastened down to offer his arm. As she took it, I asked Hibbard, who had suddenly reappeared upon the scene, who she was. He said that she was probably the sister of the woman who lay inside.
Hibbard, then keeper of the prison. It seems Hibbard was only there temporarily. "Miss Seraine slept but little that night, she was so eager to ascertain if Henry was, or if he had been, there. Next morning she arose early and was ready for breakfast, though she ate but little. When the hour of twelve o'clock arrived she and Mrs. Lawton repaired to the office of Mr. Hibbard as per appointment.
Greatly startled by the discovery, but quite convinced that this was but the dreadful sequel of an already sufficiently dark tragedy, I proceeded to take such steps as are common in these cases.

"Miss Ballard," said the judge again, "you will remember that you are to speak only in reply to questions put to you. Mr. Hibbard, continue the examination." "Miss Ballard, you admit that you saw Richard Kildene after he fought with his cousin?" "Yes." "Was his head wounded?" "Yes." "What did you do?" "I washed his head and bound it up. It was all bleeding." "Very well.
Many were there who during the prior Winter had been so exposed as to have their feet frozen, until in many instances they were rotting off.
