Isa brother of defendant-knew his wife—saw her soon after coming to this j «ountv ; the second day after witness; went to defendant s to build a house for | her, and did build at the end of the smoke house, 0 or < by 8 or J feet. It was a close notched log house, may hare had little cracks in it, but no large «nes; it had a floor in it. Worked on the house 2or 3 days; she was put into it in three or four days after her anival, as soon as the house was finished. The box she was in was 3 1-2 or 4 feet high, and as wide as would go into a cart, she •ould not stand it, but thinks she could lie down. Did not notice the bottom es it. Saw her frequently after she was put ft the house ; she was tolerably wild and tolerably vulgar, most of the fcme, and her vulgar chat was one tea ton why she had to be confined. While building the house she tried to get hold «f her little son’s arm; witness cautioned him, as he was fearful she might injure him. Witness was very busy trying to complete the house, as 0 K. wanted tn return to Oglethorpe. Witness lived 212 to 3 miles from O’Kelly; did not visit much, and knows but little how the was treated, thought she was treat ed as well as a person in her situation j •ould be. She would call for things | water, for instance—when she already I had it. She would, like a child, wash her little things in the water, and some times he would refuse her calls for ] things that has just been given her.- Witness would frequently visit her! when at O’Kelly’s, but after a while! quit it, as she would try to learn his lit-j tie daughter to curse him ; and he made ; it his business to keep out of her way i en account of her vulgarity. Cross Examined. —The floor of thei house was made of split puncheons; be j ing in a hurry, it had no chimney; there i was a hole irt’the floor for calls of na-| tore ; but am not certain if it was made when building it; don’t know the j height of the floor ; thinks the floor on Ihe bottom logs. Never knew Mrs. O K. j before marriage ; she was from Elbert, and her name was Sandrige ; defendant got some negro property by her ; a boy and a girl; her father took them back J from O’Kelly, and at his death defend ant got 3 boys, and no woman. De fendant had no negroes before his mar riage; he might have got a little mo ney by her, don't know ; her father died ; after she went deranged'the first time. Defendant received from his father 2! negroes, when he died 10 or 15 years j ago; should not think he got more from j his wife's father than his own. Don’t; recollect whether he got money or stock \ from the former. Witness knows Mar tha O’Kelly; has seen her at defend ant's which was her home ; she went there ip 1852, and while there had 2 •hildren; she left 4 or 5 weeks ago. Witness don't suppose she left so as not j testify in this case ; has not seen her i about there since; she lived in the house with defendant; there were no J men save him and his sons in the fami ly. Witness saw only the face of the; deceased in the coftin. DELILAH O'KELLY—SWOBS. Am a sister to defendant; knew his wife first in Oglethorpe after their mar riage ; her mind was deranged 8 or 0 years before leaving Oglethorpe ; while insane there she was in charge of wit ness ; defendant procured her to nurse i deceased, which she did for seven years.• Dr. Willingham prescribed the mode of j treatment which she followed, as near; as possible ; she was confined, because, there was no chance to let h r go at' large safely ; she was violent would i strip herself, was ill and contrary ; and ■ would expose herself in ever way.— | Nearly! everbody that saw her was afraid of her; sometimes she was let; out, and the doctor reproved witness for letting her out, and said it was best j to keep her confined. Witness follow ed her direction as closely as she could; j hut would sometimes lot her out, upon I her begging to come out. Witness knew j her brother, a physician, who was at! O’Kelly’s, at times ; was present when 1 defendant tried to confine her at one; time in his dwelling in Oglethorpe; •ould not keep her there because she was so disagreeable, kept such a fuss,! and was so filthy; had to rcm. ve her at the Doctor’s suggestion. She tried to kill the defendant's children ; tried to smother Bob, who was mighty near] gone when the witness got there; the; •hildren were very much afraid of her.! Cross Examined. —Knew defendant's; wife Bor 9 years before lie left ( >gle-; thorpe ; she was much the same then, j that she lias been since. She was con-; fined in Oglethorpe about as fur from; the house as the house where she died j was; the house in Oglethorpe had a good door -as close as possible ; and with as little light as possible. Willis j W. said, if let out she would do mis chief; she had no times when she would talk reasonable; was somethin < worse] than others; had bad spells; never talked rational except at the interval in l which she was left out, at the time she had her last child. Her house was cleaned out about once a month some times a little over. The box in which j she was brought from Oglethorpe was not got from a store ; she had a mat trass in the house in Oglethorpe; had no chair—sat on the bed—-the bed was on the beadstead, which was stationa ry: blankets were given her—and when S’le would tear them up, others were given her. Doctor never told wit ness to keep her naked. Witness was never int his house in W aiton — saw through the window a sort of place for her to sit; knows there was a hole in this house, because it was common to have them. Her daughter was not more than 10 years when she came to Walton. She was 12 years old when wit aess came to the county, and had charge •f deceased. Witness has staid three weeks at a time at defendant’s Susan and her brothers fixed her victuals; the negroes sometimes carried it to her; •iothes could not be kept on her if some one remain, d with her, all the time.— Witness tried to keep clothes on her, but did not always stay with her. Dr. W. never said anything about the Asy ■ lum. Witness has seen food given her through the hole in her house, while sitting in the family house ; they gave her food in a frying pan ; gave her wa ter and milk, and all her food out of , that pan. Witness saw her two or three times the last year; don't stay much there since Martha came. Cross Examined. —rebuttal —Sometimes she would give a sensible, but not a rea sonable answer when in a crazy fit. BBNJAMIN o’KELLKY—SWOB.N. ' Is a brother to defendant; knew liis wife ; defendant lived when married in Oglethorpe ; deceased when she died was about 66, 67, or 58, or somewhere along there ; her first indications of in sanity was about 1838. A little while after she was first deranged witness saw her. She was taken on Wednesday,and saw her Sunday following ; she was ro mancing, hurrahing, singing, &c., un til she worried herself out. She would then lie in the bed, get rested, and go |on again. On that day an old neighbor 1 and his lady came to defendant’s, who | had a wart on his face. She kept walk j ing round and round, and got w here she ! could get a lick at him, struck him and set the wart to bleeding, and was high ly pleased at what she had done. When deranged, she had no shame, either in talk or dress. Thinks before her de rangement that the defendant and de ceased lived agreeably together. When first deranged,he nursed her constantly; somebody bad to hold her all the time, as there was a well in the yard. She was first confined in the shed room of the house ; She was taken 28th March, 1838; on the 16th of April, defondant’s father died, on Easter Monday, Don't know when she got through her first spell ; it was Ist February, or the last of January. She continued rational un til she had her youngest child, Robert. After she lost her mind the second time before witness saw her stie was fixed in a ro*m. Witness had no correspond ence with her, except through the wiu dow through which she was fed. She was very noisy, didn’t regard the cold. She had double strength, and would get out of the house, tear off the clothes, ! and go naked. When first taken she was inclined to mischief; breaking 1 whatever was given her : defendant i commenced giving her food in two cups; i and she would mash and break them ; ' it took a new cup every time she fed. ! He then got frying pans, and took the handles off ; sometimes she would even ! break them. He has known defendant !to furnish clothing and bed cloth | ing ; she would tear them, no odds how i stroDg. Bed clothing was generally in ) creased in cold weather. Don't recol lect seeing defendant give deceased any clothing, though didn't notice particu ! larly. lias seen defendant carry clothes ! aud bed clothes to her in Oglethorpe, and in this county has seen him carry i fruit to her. Didn’t see her after death. | In Walton she was never nice in her 1 customs ; has seen excrement in her I lingers,as if mashedin her hand,and she j would throw it at anybody if the chance I offered, —and was smeared with it; nev- I er saw inside of tile house ; the diagram presented to the witness is correct. The facts in relation to the above acts of kindness helms seen frequently. Cross Examined. —She was an industri | ous, thrifty woman ; well educated,and | had been well-raised,as far as he knows, i Before leaving Oglethorpe defendant j had other women living in his house ; j lias had them along occasionally when J»e could get them, to tike care of hischil dren. W.tness has seen her when she woulld say two or three sensible words; and then fly away yonder; sheattonded to hetordinary businessat the pei iod pieced ing the birth of her last child, born be fore witness left Oglethorpe. While ! defendant lived witii with,deceased was I crazy awhile, from Ist February or last! |of Jan. until he following January.— I Was crazy again when the child was 4 ! years old. TAKPLKY TUCKEB — SWORN. (Very aged and infirm man.) —Has . | known the defendant a long time ; ', has seen his wife, did not know her . j when sane ; was living at defend , J ant’s at her death. Saw her after death; " j she looked as though she might have j dropped off somehow. Face looked na j tural-to him ; eyes not very good ; had . I been living there a year or two ; she I was fed from the table ; saw the food j taken and carried out, with directions | to give it to the deceased, but does not | know whether it was given her or not. Saw clothing and blankets ordered to j her, by defendant, and carried out of : the house ; after death lie saw them ta ken out, as many as he could hold in I his hands,—enough to keep any man or woman warm. Susan sometimes car ried out the food and sometimes sent it to the deceased. | Cross Examined. —Has a homo where ; lie pleased to go ; no particular home j or master ; and no property ; eats with I defendant or elsewhere : buys bis own I clothes ; and pays for them himself ; ' t is scarce of money ; not got as much as ! he wants ; is not dependant; is nearly ; or quite a year since he lias been at one 1 : of his childrens’. Defendant bought ' | blankets,or said lie bought them,; don’t | , of his own knowledge know certain that they were blankets ; pieces taken from her house were quarters, or halves ; j don’t know how long she was dead . | before he knew it. Victuals were sent I I every time the family ate, carried j in whatever was there ; the house was ; cleaner than he expected ; never smelt lit bad in his life ; never talked about | this matter with defendant; don’t re t member doing so ; never told anybody [! he would swear ; has been asked ques . | tions by many persons. . ! .IAMES C. COOPEE—SWORN. [ j Witness lives at the old place of Tims. • jO’Kclly,—lias never seen deceased; has ■! seen the house in which she was said t i to have been confined ; said house is 10 i; feet long, 8 feet wide; and 5 feet 8 ;! inches high: built of hewn logs, notch-1 ed down close —floored above and below j . j with 1 1-2 inch plank ; pined down with j ; wooden pins; lower floor consisted of I . ’ planks 12 inches wide; the floors were |; tight above and below ; roof was made ; of rafters, covered with boards, eaves projected about 1 foot. There is a hole i; in tlie floor on the North west end, and ; ■ corners of the house ; about 2 or 3 inch .leswide; 9 inches long; shuck house i covers the cabin on, the Northern side, -about 2 feet distant; extending at each , end about 3 feet beyond the cabin.—* i Comb of the smoke-house runs North i and South, comb.of the cabin runs East t and West; the former is higher than > the latter; large oak tree stands about - 4 feet distant from the cabin—the dwel i ling-liousc about 30 steps from the cab ; in. From the dwelling house a person i can see the South side of the cabin. » Cross examined.— Thinks the oak tree ; would afford no protection to an inmate i of the cabin ; during the cold weather - in 1856. Shuck-house would afford no protection against an East wind; snow during the winter of 1860 drifted in all directions : sleet did the ■ same: shuck-house would afford very : slight protection against a Nortli west wind. Witness examined the cabin witii a view of testifying in this case : sought all the facts as to the dimensions aud i condition of the house: West gable was not closed up ; the snow could have drifted in at the open gable, and’fallen i upon the ceiling. LEVI (i. BBANTLY —SWOBX. Is a physician—resided in the county of Walton, near the houseof defendant; has seen deceased in her lifetime; she was insane; thinks it necessary to have confined her; the appearance Aif it human being frozen to death would be rather white, if a person of fair skin ; because the blood recedes from extreme capillary vessels to the internal organs. The complexion of deceased was fair. Cross examined. —Was defendant’s fam ily physician ; saw deceased frequently; from 1840 to 1855; Witness believes the first symptoms of freezing is numb ness, nexteoutortion; next insensibili ty ; agrees generally with Dr. Wood’s description of the symptoms, and causes of freezing ; disagrees with Dr. Wood’s description of the livid and spotted ap pearance of a body frozen to death. — The cabin in which deceased was con fined prior to death gave out an often siveodor; cant say whether or not she was clothed. A woman could not be kept comfortable in such a house, even with ordinary clothing, without fire ; such confinement as he saw deceased subjected to, would engender disease in a healthy person, particularly colds, which causes most of the diseases to which flesh is heir. Thinks it impossi ble to restore a lunatic treated as he saw deceased. Lunatics are sometimes cured;’’ treatment in such cases varies, or should be various. The manner of deceased's confinement was not such as to restore a patient laboring under any disease ; by which he means that medi cal aid could not be properly rendered under such circumstances; thinks de ceased was an incurable lunatic; defend ant applied to witness to treat her mod- j ically; witness did so: thinks it ncces-j sary to have sometimes confined her; j but concluded that he could afford no relief. Did not examine her farther: than in talking with her while she re-1 mained in the cabin. BOUEBT S. O’KELLY—SWOBN. Is tlie son of defendant and bis deceas ed wife : provisions were sent to her from the table ; sometimes by tile hands of a negro woman ; deceased had sufii cioit clothing in tlie cabin at the time , f her death to have kept her warm if she kept it on her; she would frequently tear otf her clothes; defendant frequent ly made inquires as to whether his wife was furnished with food and clothing. Different members of the family atten ded to these matters ; it was the busi ness of no one in particular; except that Ms sister generally saw that food was conveyed to the cabin. Defendant sometimes in cold weather would get up at night, and carry additional cloth ing to the cabin for deceased ; can t say how often lie has seen defendant do such things: heard it frequently ; con stant attention was paid to her—her paroxysms were at times violent; at other times she was calm. Vi ituess is the youngest son. | Cross examined. —Tlie clothing in tlie | cabin at the time tlie body of deceased i was taken out, consisted of rags of dit- J ferent sizes; dont know whether the! same were filthy or not; cant say that! they were wet; witness first discovered | the death of his mother; was told to go to the cabin by Martha O’Kelly ; was in j the habit of talking witii his mother everyday. The weather was tolerably cold; don't recollect seeing any suow| or ice ; thinks it was thawing during I the day, in the sun, and perhaps also at niglit. There was no bed in the cabin j —no mattvass —no straw —nothing ex-, cept the rags described : there was but! partial raiment on her body when dis- j covered ; witness lias never told Mrs.! ’ Needham at her house that tlie rags! \ were wet. A blanket, and one lied-; quilt had been given to deceased within j ' one week previous to her death Don't; ' know that snow ever drifted in at the 1 open gable; never went to see whether snow had drifted hi: never saw defend ant go to sec whether snow had drifted in. Found his mother dead on the 2fith Jan. 1856 in this county. Martha O’- Kelly told witness that deceased had; not eaten her breakfast on the day she | was found dead. Martha O’ Kelly lived i in defendant’s family about live years; j lias borne two children while in do fendant's family: witness is not tlie j father of the children : she is not mar-, ried ; left defendant’s house about one month ago ; witness thinks she is in I this county ; saw her going off on dc- j fendant's horse, with defendant's negro; man ; defendant was at home when she j left; was in custody of the sheriff; was not confined to any particular room. FRANCIS O’KELLY —SWORN. Is the son of defendant and his dc-! ceased wife. Her conduct in Oglethorpe j county, when she became insane, was sometimes violent; she would attempt injuries upon others; attempted once to j throw Robert, then about one month | old, into the fire; at another time sliej made an attempt to cut witness’ throat j with a table knife. Thinks it necessary! to keep her confined all the time since i she last became insane ; her paroxysms sometimes approached suddenly. Is ae-1 quainted with the house in which she died; no change in it has been made since her death. There was always a hole in) the floor for her convenience ; the cabin) is raised about one foot from the ground. Food was sent from the fami ly table to the deceased ; it is his sis ter’s ordinary duty. Witness lias not! lived with the defendant for4oro years past; thinks constant attention was; paid to his mother. Was several times; at the house of defendant after reraov-. al from home ; when theie, lias known defendant frequently to get up, night or day, whenever tlie weather changed. I and send additional clothing to the cab- i ■in of his wife ; this was his rule. Wit : ness lias never known deceased without j ■ proper clothing when she would keep ft ! ' on her; she had no regard for cleanli i ness or decency, and would sometimes! I smear herself over with filth ; or smear’ • those who came near the cabin. No; i vessels were provided for her conve- \ , nience because she would uniformly i break them. Witness thinks every coni- 1 fort was furnished her that she would i receive ; thinks she was in a better cou t dition, confined as she was, than she i could have been placed in elsewhere. The l filth was cleaned away from under the - cabin, and tin* cabin itself was some - times cleaned. i Cross-Examined. —Witness thinks de ceased was itl a better condition than ) if in a warm room, with windows, lat ticed with iron bars and a proper person ' to watch over her. If the cabin in 1 which she was confined had been warrn ; ed with lead pipes, and the tempera > ture kept up properly, she would have ■ been more comfortable, and in no dan r ger of freezing. His opinion is that t the appearance of a person frozen to I death is rather bright. The deceased t had no bed in the cabin—no chair—was II fed in an iron pan—has seen food, wa e ter and milk given to her in the same ■ pan—has also seen her excrement in it. i! The pan was washed after seeing that, I and before food was again placed in it. [CONCLUDED MONDAY.] mmm ; BY TELEGRAPH- Charleston Market. Cuableston, Feb 27,1 P.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a ' life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while hia digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. | The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the i acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux for ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter | rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with ! paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that 1 terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of '! nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnoturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion ami thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that womxn has ever received from the hands of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite, j While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material ■ which is to be subjected to their action. As an ' appetiser it has no equal in the Pharraacopln. ’ If long life and the vigor necessary to its en • joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of I precious worth j Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either I sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j rnan of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suff ring from general do bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent reli f from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many J perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The l Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re I ferenee to the causes, and will not only remove [ the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con ! stitution i LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush ’ of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debit | ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of solf-de ! s'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys ! pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous | ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- I males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of ! the heart, impotence, constipation, etc., from whatever cau-e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible. CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial has been counterfeited by some unprincipled persons. In future, all the genuine Cordial will have the proprietor’s sac simile pasted over the cork of each bottle, and the following words blown in glass : Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cor dial, C. 11.
