Witnesses examined. Sworn
Mrs. Jas. Cook: Her eldest daughter came to our house looking for her mother, about eleven o’clock, and said that she was astray, and that she could not find her. My sion’s wife, and little girl came over to see if they could find her, and they went to the barn, and searched, and saw her and turned to.

Catherine Ann Stewart, sworn, About 11 o’clock I went to the barn and I saw her and I went to Mrs Cook’s and told her.

Ruth Ellen Stewart, sworn, I left home about 10 o’clock, and not seeing my mother I hunted the house all over for her and not finding her there, I went to the barn and looked all through the barn. I then sent my sister down to my grandfather’s to see if my mother was there, and she not finding her, I then went over to the Cooks, and told them I could not find my mother. Mrs Chas. Cook then came over with me and we could not find her.

Mrs. Chas. Cook, Sworn, I went to the barn with my sister, my sister went into the barn, and came back and told me what she saw.

Malcolm Stewart, Sworn, I heard at my house that they missed Mrs. Stewart, and I then walked up along the road to look for her and then Mrs. Jas. Cook met me at the barn door, and she told me that the barn was done. We went in and looked through the boards, and told me that the woman was there. I went outside and went in on the door and saw the woman hanging there by a rope, clear of the ground, the seal [sic] of the barn being about 1 foot from her feet. This was I suppose between 11 and 12 o’clock. I took the body down, and believe that life had been gone about one hour.

Alexander M. Stewart, Sworn, I left home home this morning between 7 & 8 o’clock, and was returning between 11 & 12, when opposite Cook’s gate Mrs. Chas. Cook, came running and crying, to me to run to the barn, I came to the barn and looked through the barn and on the lofts, and all round the barn, I could see nothing wrong, untill one of the girls pointed to a door, I opened the door and saw the woman. I thought standing up first, I then spoke, and went up to where she was, her face was covered, twas then I noticed the rope, and saw that it was around her neck and around the beam. I then tried her face and found it cold. I tried to take her down and tried for my Knife to cut the rope, I did not have my Knife, and I got faint hearted and had to go outside. When I saw her, her right foot was back on the sill, it being behind her, but not in such a position as to allow of her letting any weight upon it. The sill was above 1 foot from her. When I looked I found the rope passed over the beam and under a loose floor, I came to the conclusion that she must have gone above to pass the rope over the beam. My belief is that she went up on the left from another part of the barn as the door was fastened on the outside, but the other part of the barn was open.

Mrs. Mal. Bell, sworn, I believe that Mrs. Stewart was troubled in mind for some time. I noticed that her mind was weak for the last week or two.

Verdict of the Jury. That Mrs. Stewart came to her death, by going up on the barn loft, and securing the rope that caused her death, on the beam and on her neck, and then lowered herself down through the left in another part of the barn.
