1First Julian saith, that the wednesday at night after the death of Richard Hun, Charles Joseph her Master came home to his supper: then Julian said to him, Master, it was told me that ye were in prison. Charles answered. It is merry to turn the penny: and after supper Charles trussed up a parcel of his goods, and with help of Julian bare them into Master Porters house to keep: and that done, Charles said to Julian: Julian, if thou wilt be sworn to keep my counsel, I will show thee my mind. Julian answered, yea, if it be neither felony nor treason: Then Charles took a book out of his purse, and Julian sware to him thereupon: then said Charles to Julian, I have destroyed Richard Hun.

Then Julian asked Charles, where set you your horse that night you came to town, and wherefore came ye not home? Charles answered, I came not home for fear of bewraying: and then Julian asked Charles, who was with you at the killing of Hun? Charles answered, I will not tell thee: and Julian saith, that upon the Thursday following, Charles tarried all day, in his house with great fear: and upon Friday following early in the morning before day, Charles went forth (as he said) to Pauls, and at his coming in again he was in a great fear saying hastily, get me my horse & with great fear and haste made him ready to ride, and bade Mayer Porters lad lead his horse into the field by the backside: and then Charles put into his sleeve his Maze or Mazer, with other plate borrowed of master Porter, both gold & silver, but how much I am not sure:
