Beale claimed that English had offered him a bribe in return for his favorable testimony in the case. Later, Beale said, when discussing English's lawsuit with a friend, "my nose gushed out bleeding in a most extraordinary manner" - a nosebleed he attributed to English's witchcraft. Beale also speculated that the sudden deaths of two of his sons soon afterward might have been the evil work of English, in retaliation for his testimony against him. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
