I was Mayor of the city of New Port and held the examining court at which Philip Kennedy and Patrick White were tried for X rape committed upon the person of Elizabeth Franklin -- She swore that one of these men had two connections forcibly with her within a very short time, while the other stood by and did not have any connection with her at all -- The attorney for the Defendants commented upon her testimony to show that it was incredible that a man to could have two connections with a woman in so short a time and I cannot be mistaken in my recollection of her statement --

E. W. Hawkins late Mayor of New Port
