 corroborating that of Mr. Eichardson. 



"D. Mackley, Esq., a lawyer of Jackson, Ohio, who at the 

 time of the occurrence happened to be at Berlin, about six 

 miles north-east from the former place, and seventy miles from 

 the nearest point under the meteor's path. He took pains to 

 note all the facts as accurately as he could at that time; and 

 he afterward returned to the spot in order to determine more 

 definitely the points of the compass. His testimony, in answer 

 to my interrogatories, is substantially as follows: 'The meteor

 moved northward in a line very nearly parallel with the horizon. 

 When it had disappeared it had described an arc of about 15°.

 thin cloud, and I think the apparent diameter of the meteor 

 was one half that of the sun.'
