Thomas Jefferson Sworn

I attended the Coroner Inquest of James Finch on the morning of 26th of June, and took the evidence at the request of the Coroner I recognize a copy of the Inquest now shown me a copy just as I took it several [?] being left out abreviated several words and made it as short as I could

I have read the evidence of Ruby Stanley now shown me I would now feel like swearing that it did not contain all but so nearly as I can recollect it does I did not read it over after copying it, I do not remember whether Ruby Stanley described the deceased or not

Cross
