pialnea- To all Of this testimony Mrs.
LoyeA took exceptions in q stage whisper.
Before the Sister Left the stand her attor-
ney brought out the fles and records In
.ne naoe3s corpus proceedings before
Judge Llehtenberg over Annie McGee and
introduced them ~ exhibits. II was shown

mrs. Loyelis mark that she had con-
scnted 10 Annie being an inmate OF the
noase OF the Good Shepherd until she
should be Is years Of age. and yet habeas
corpus proceedings had been instituted
and Mrs. Lowell had sworn that she had
never consented. This affidavit was read
TO impeach MIRA. Loyell's testimony Of yes
terday.
Mrs. Loveli's attorney objected. and re-
called his client 70 prove the affidavit
never TO have been read 10 her previous TO
her making her mark.
Frank Hartley Jones, who was areporter
on the Telegraph when this old case was
tried, then took the stand TO testify as to
the character Of Mrs. Lowell as seen by
nam a. one Of her neighbors and in bis
line OF business. He said that the woman's
reputation was anything but good. She
was. he said. profsne and wicked woman,
and offered TO do him violence on one oc-
casion while he was trying to interview
her. She had then told him that her
daughter Annie was very disreputabie

would not turn out much better.

what he could about Mrs. Loveli's reputa-
ton. He thought it very bad. She had
become well known to him in her eontin-
uai fight against the House of the Good
Shepherd in his court two years ago. He
did not think her n proper person TO have
charge of minor child of her own or any
body's The House of the Good Shepherd
he regarded as the very place for Maggie.
Some amusement was created by the at
torney for the Lovells asking the judge
whether or not no was Catholic, but
satisfactory answer was given. the judge
enjoying the joke as we'll as any one.
J. b. Murphy was next placed upon the
stand to testify as 70 the genuineness Of the
affidavit before referred to, and then ]. b.
Metcaife gave more testimony tending to
show that Mrs. Lowell was q very hard
citizen. When he said he considered the
place where Maggie was now staying q
very good place for her. long argument
on religions of various kinds took place
between Mr.. Metcalfe and the attorney,
who cross-questioned him. The argument
finally ran into heaven and then Judge
Langley informed the debaters that they
were talking on subject on whichlthey
both were poorly informed and without
much prospect Of an accession Of knowl-
edge, whereupon the debaters came down
10 caEtu again.
A pretty little girl about Is years old,
who gave her name as Mable Lynch. was
then asked to testify In behalf OF the re-
spondent. She took the stand and testi-
fed to having seen Maggie Lowell begging
and to giving the Lowell family shoes.
stockings and cast-off clothing. She had
known Maggie about four years, and had
given her clothing on two occasions.
While this evidence was going in Mrs.
Loyeii was fairly snorting with rage. and
glared at the little witness as IL she could
have eaten her with the best of grace. But
the evidence went in despite her intimi-
dating gestures.
This was the last witness examined yes
terdsy. but several more will be placed on
the stand today. among them Tacama par
ties who will testify rs to John Loveil's
character.
