| Q. Did you state to your busband at |this meeting any endearing terms?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. What were they?

| A. 1 said, ‘‘She tells me that one even- \ing you came home——’ I asked her |when did these things occur.. I sald to him,, "She says they occurred down at the office when sie stayed down there) with him {n the evening after the rest had goue, and at home at any time when 1 wasn’t’ around.” Q. Now, about the endearing termat A. She said one evening when she came home’ with him, just as she got inside the hall,’it was late in the evening, about 11 o'clock, he put his arms around her {and kissed her. This was in the vest! jbule before they entered the hall, ahd he called her bis little wife, but she aid “I am not your wife,” and he sald, I will call you daughter, and a daughter has nearly all the privileges of a wife.” Q. What other terms were used?

A. Then he said, “I am lke a jellyfish. I float around here and there. I touch j this, one and that one, and if she re- sponds [ take her to me, and if not, 1 float on to others’; and she wrote that out so that I could remember it for sure | when 1 would. speak to him about it.

And he confessed that he sald those things. ei Pastor Russell's explanation of the above incidents is contained in the fol- lowing verbatim extract from his testi- mony given on the stand on Friday, April 27, 1906:

Q. Did you ever at any time undertake to humiliate, -or did you ever do any act, or say any words, such as using the | expression, “‘jellyfish,” or anything thao would hurt Mrs, Russell's feelings in way?

A. Nothing intentional, slr. If 1 might I would like to explain.’ We had in our family this Miss Ball that was referred to. Might T mention: thai Q. Yes, if there is anything of that kind.

A. We. had a’ young man in the office by the name of Charlés Ball, who came to us from Buffalo, and was deeply In- terested.

Q. What has that to do with the girl? A. This was her brother. She wanted to coms becauge her brother was here. After her brother died, she was lonely, and Mrs. Russell and I. both thought a great deal of her, She was ® very young” looking girl, wore short and Mre Russell and I thought it would be best to have her come Into the room—In the same room with us—o she would read 0 our study in the evening. We had a large study. She kissed us both a good- night when sim was going to bed, and wi treated her In every way as a daughtel and told her that we considered her such, and she told us ahe considered us as her parents, ‘This might be considered by Mrs. Russell as being something offen- five, but T will explato it. This Mi Ball one evening came to me tn the front room—or, rather, I heard someone sobbing, and, ‘turned around to pee, and jahe wan crying at her desk, and i in- quired. what wax the matter, and she didn't answer for quite a while, and finally she Jumped up and came over and sat down on my knee, aod was still cry- ing, and | inquired what was the ma rer —what-codit-be- the matter.—Stre—wetd | Mrs. Russell bad been overworking her or something, and 1 tried to show her that she was mistaken, that Mrs, Rus- sell wouldn't do anything of the kind, and I tried to allay her feelings

“Another time she came and’ sat on my knee when there was some ‘young man who was giving her attention more than she liked, and had been making himself unpleasant, and she was worked up and was crying. But abe merely came to me as a father.”

Q. She had been with you for some time?

A. Yes, sir; she had no relatives there, and we told her she could call herself by our name. She sald the only reason she didn't do that she was afraid if her fath- er heard of it he would think she had lost her self-respect for him

Q. You treated her, as a daughter in your home?

A. Yes, sir; she looked to be about 13. I don't Know how old she was.

Q. She may have been older?

A. | heard someone say that site was only 10, She was .a very young looking’

Q. And grew up in your home? A. Yes, sir, [ should say that some ussell told me that Miss o her and said that there jg she should tell her—that she issed me at some time when faan't present. Q.. She went to tell her about that? A. Yes, sir. Miss Ball was very con- |scientious and she thought that this was j Something Mrs. Russell should know, and j when Mrs. Russell mentioned it to me I \euid, “That is so, that was all right, {there was nothing improper about that,” and I explained to Mre. Ruse Q. There was no further trouble about that? A. No. Q. They have mentioned that matter | when you were found in her room. A. I don't remember the occurrence, Ibut it is very Mkely it would be true that Mrs. Russell might have come. in and fouid me by the bedside with her hand in mine. | suppose I was feeling her pulse, | don’t know anything else. It would be a common occurrences T) gave medicine in the family, and not only to our own family, but Mrs, Russell's sister living In the adjoining place. 1 used to be the family physician over there; they sent to me always for medi- cine. I happened to have some knowl- edge of medicine, but If anybody would |get bad we would send for a regular \ physiclan | Q. Anything of that kind’that occurred was just in the interest of family health? | A. Yes, sir Q. You would just as Itkely have gone into one house as another? A. Yes, sir. Another matter Mra, Rut sell mentioned to me years ago, when she was intimating that she mfght bring a ‘quit. This was In 1896, ten years ago, and she was intimating she might bring ‘sult. She said: “It would look very bad= ly for you if 1 would tell in court that T found you once in the room with Em- ‘ily."
