A CATHOLIC SISTER TrsrIFIES
Tho people who had deserted tho
court began to pour back ut hali.past
two, whom tho plaintiffs counsel varied
the monotony by calling witness. The
door between the jury box and tho
judge opened to admit two sisters OF
some Catholic society attired in the
black bonnets and gowns oil their ordor.
One OF them seated herself beside Mr..
Carlisle, while the other took the chair
in tho witross box, looking very pale
and troubled ut her unusual position.
Sister Cecilia, OF tho order of Sistora OF
Charity OF Cincinnati, was the name
given.
She said that in 1854 she had been
sister-in-charSe Of the convent at Nor

asked.

them"
"What is your bcs. opinion on the
question:"
That they are the same"

ADJOURNED AT A CRITICAL POINT.
''Do you know Miss Madeline Pol

"Would you know her il you should
see her?"
81 would now"
"Did YOU receive n letter from her"
"One. 1t came to me in Pueblo"
Did she describe in conversation and

lead you to identify her?"

Judge Wilson replied to the objection
that after nine years had elapsed it was
necessary to depend somewhat on cor

Colonel Shelby countor.argued that
