Question by Mr. Montgomery-What
clergyman did you tell that to? Witness-I
won't tell.
Q.-What clergyman did yoa tell that to
The same question was repeated three or
four times and the same reply given.
Mr.. Montgomery asked the Court to COM
pei an answer.
At this point Mr.. Foote interrosed and
asked if the clergyman was told at con-
fessional.
Mr.. Montgomery-W have a right to
know the name of the clergyman.
The Court held that the witness must
give the name of the clergyman, and she re-
piled
| told it to Father King and Father
Maguire | told it to Father King in con-
fession, and to Father Mcguire out of it.
They told me / must tell Mr.. Schroeder all

/ never told Father King anything in pub
lie.
Own you repeat the conversation held
with Father Mcguire? A.--Not unless the
Court orders me.
The Court told her to repeat it, and she
said:
Father Mcguire shook hands with me.

who lived at Scbroder's house. / told him
about my meeting with Lefevre and the
trouble. | told him I tried to get Lefeyre to
leave.
Lefevre confessed to improper relations with
Mrs. Schroeder? A.-No. Do you suppose
l would tell that to the clergy? What do
youtake me for? Both Father King and Father
Mcguire told me to tell MIR. Schroeder what [
knew about Dr. Lefevre. A girl named
Tague went with me to Father King. / was
not acquainted much with Father King. |
don't go much to the clergy, but generally go
about my duty.
Cross-examinatien by Mr.. Foote-I first
told Mr.. Schroeder about this after he had Sc
cured bail | saw Mr. McAllister and you at
Mr.. Schroder's house only once. When told
Mr.. Montgomery what I knew he seemed to
get very angry. | was at the Police Court
and talked to Mr. Gibson. He did not call
me as witness.
Mr.. Montgomery-You say 1 got very
angry Did not tell you to tell the truth
Answer-No, don't recollect that you told
me to tell the truth. You asked me some
questions about Schroder's business which you
and answered you.
Mr.. Montgomery-Yo told Schroeder, as
you testified, that Dr.. Kohler, instead OF
Lefeyre, filed your teeth. Didn't you tell
me, at our interview, that our Lord put Koh-
ler's name into your mouth just in time to
save Lefevre? Answer-No.
Mr. Montgomery-Didn't I tell you then
that it must have been the Devil who put
Kohler in your mouth? Answer-No, you
did not.
The parish priest, Michael King, testified:
I am the parish priest of this parish. did
not know Sarah Gallagher until dinner time
to-day. A woman then came to my residence
and rang the bell. l have since learned that
it was Sarah Gallagher.
Cross-examined-I frequently confess per-
sons whom 1 do not know.
Redirect do not know Sarah Gallagher.
I should be very apt to know any one who
was in the habit of coming regularly to the
confessional. l cannot testify to any COM
municatious made to me at the confessional.
After the introduction of additional medi
cal testimony the prosecution rested its case,
and the Court adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow morning, when evidence in sur rebuff
tai will be introduced by the defense. The
testimony on both sides will probably be
closed tomorrow.
