The plaintiff was DIR. Buchanan's patient.
and boarded in the house. She was known
by the name of Miss Louise Wilson. The
deporent positively identified Miss Pollard

known as Louise Wilson
The Cross-ExaminntiGn.
This was the substance of the direct ex-
animation, and Mr.. Ston thereupon took
the deposition to read the cross-examina-
Ion. The deponent said in the cross-ex-
animation that she knew nothing of the
Arrangement by which Louise Wilson came
to the house. The arrangement was made
between DIR. Street and DIR. Buchanan. The
woman was there as convalescent. and
witness understood that she was recovering
from confinement DepCnent's understand
ing was that the young woman had been
confined at a hotel: that she did not want
TO remain there during her convalescence;
that Or. street had attended her at the
hotel. and had brought her to the house.
The deponent's understanding was that she
had had miscarriage, hence she had made
no inquiries about the child. The deponent
understood the young woman was a mar
ried woman, and knew her Mrs. Will
SON." Deponent found out that Miss Will
son was not married. DIR. Buchanan told
her that she was an unfortunate girl from
Kentucky; that she may have made a mis-
take. but she was commissioning and they
could not turn her out. Deponent had not
liked to talk with her as to whether she
was married or not
Conversation With the Patient.
She did. however. converse with her on
one occasion. when Miss Wilson went to
hotel to see her friend-Ihe man who had
seduced her-about some money matters.
Deponent said to her. why do you not
marry him and straighten out this mat
ter?" Miss Wilson said: Il cHI't marry
him; IL is impossible for TO marry him."
She said he had ruined ner. and, IN fact.
she loathed him, and she could not live
Wit ion haA-
cause Miss Wilson said she had seen the
man and managed matters. and that he
had offered TO marry. Then depOnent ask
ell her why she did not marry him, and
she replied that she had suffered the panGs
of childbirth; that she had steelcd her
heart against him, loathed him ard could
not marry him. She said that she preferred
to live life alone. The deponent in one
conversation told her that DIR. Street had
bled4 her by extravagant charges. De-
ponent understood from her that DIR.
Street had attended her during confre-
ment- She said that the sisters were
present on that occasion. Deponont un-
derstood that Miss Wilson had been at
Bond Hill and that she referred 10 the
sisters Al Bond Hill. Miss Wilson said that
Dr. Street had charged her sSo. DepOnent
did not know that Miss Wilson came d.
rectly from the place of confinement to
their house. but she felt sure that was so
from the state of her health. Deponent
believed that the occasion Il Miss Wilson'S
coming was the first acquaintance the de-
ponent had with DIR. Street.
Traded Trunks With Her.
The depOnent said that when Miss Viii
son left depOnent traded trunks with her;
Miss Wilson's trunk 1ilapidlted and
depOnents was toIerably good. Miss Will
sons trunk was painted black, and there
was no name on il. the md having been
painted over Deponent's trunk bore de-
ponents name, Kate Perry, CovinCton,
Ky" That was before iepOnent was mar
ried. De2onent never knew whaI became
of Miss Wilson's child. md never beard
what it's name was When Miss Wilson
came to the house she vas weak. She
looked like a woman just recovering from
a spell of sickness. When she went away
she looked very well; better, the deporent
thought. than she does now The deponent
when asked what she Thought was Miss
Wilson's age at that time. said time had
dealt very well with her. Ii was her I'M
preston that Miss Wilson was twenty-four
or twenty-five years old. This idea she
formed from her ways and actions and
general knowledge Of things There was
nothing frivolous nothing Of the girl about
her. Miss Wilson was a very close-nOuth-
ed girl. and did not tell 1eponeIt anything
about her love affairs When she vert to
the hotel to see the man Who had wronged
her depOnent understood she was going to
get money TO pay her expenses to settle
her bills. and when she came back she
said she had shaped things"
