Smith, William W.; Temperance
from him and had a long conversation regarding the job I was to
do, after which Howarth went back to Abercorn. I, however,
remained over night at Richford, and next morning took the train
for Sutton. I then went to Mr. Wilson's hotel, and remained there
for two or three days. They asked me no questions in regard to my
board bill, they did not seem to care whether my bills were paid
or not, and they were never paid by me. I remained there until
the horse race at Knowlton, to which I went with Mr. Wilson, and
where I expected to meet Howarth with a team for me to use, but I
did not find Howarth at Knowlton. I left Knowlton the same night,
and rode back to Sutton, to Wilson's hotel, with a man whom I met
at the races. A day or two following, I was supplied with the
team, which was fed and cared for free of charge at Curley's and
Wilson's hotels. This team was supplied me for the purpose of
driving to and from the Junction in order to meet Smith. The
night I committed the assault on Mr. Smith my team was at
Curley's hotel until 9 o'clock in the evening, when I ordered it
to be harnessed. I then started for the Junction, and on the way
I met a man a short distance out of the village, whose name I do
not remember, but I would probably recognize him if I saw him
again. I was supplied with a disguise of clothing, which was put
into my buggy when the team was sent to me. I do not know who put
it there, but Howarth gave me to understand that it would be
there.
