tention to the endorsements on the tracts, Crandall said they had been
on some time. Believes he said something about two years, and recollects
that he then remarked to Crandall that one of them had not been
published two years.

_B. K. Morsell, Esq._, (called again) stated that Crandall, when asked
whether he was acquainted with the nature of the pamphlets sent to him
in New York, said he supposed that they contained his sentiments, and
were of the same character with those which he had taken some time
before. He used these very words, "I don't pretend to deny that I am an
anti-slavery man, and profess these sentiments." The pamphlets were then
before us, and the examination referred to them. He added, that when he
came on here, he found he was too far South to circulate the tracts, and
that all he had received were those before us, except about a dozen. He
did not deny that he came direct to this city from New York. He said
nothing which impressed witness with the belief that he stopped on the
road, if he said he stopped on the way, witness did not hear it. There
was considerable confusion in the jail during the examination. Crandall
might have said many things which witness did not hear. There were a
great many people in the jail. He recollected that Crandall said the
words "please read and circulate" were written two years before, and
that Mr. Coote pointed to a pamphlet, so endorsed, which had been
printed within two years; but he understood that Crandall's statement
was applied to all the pamphlets together. He understood that some of
the pamphlets were found at Crandall's office, and some at his lodgings,
and that they were found scattered about the office.

Does not recollect that there was any testimony about unpacking a box.
There was nothing in the testimony which made any impression that there
was any distinction between the pamphlets. They were all brought
together. Recollects that Crandall handed him a written paper. Began
reading it, but could not get through with it; could not read it, and
handed it back to Crandall; supposed that it was written under some
agitation.

_Jacob Oyster_ knew the prisoner in Georgetown, and prisoner hired a
shop of him. He was sick some time after he hired it, but had a large
box put into it. When he hired it he said he was going to lecture on
botany at different places. Witness was present when he opened the box,
and it contained books, surgical instruments, and pamphlets.
