ten on the Christmas card We're written
within few years, and surely not so long
ago as 1885, and in reference to this Mr.
Carlisle said: Il swear 10 you on oath
that these words Compliments, w. s. D., ,
Were written on this card when l took it
from that book, and that no one but my
self could have put the writing there
during the time we We're in the library"
THE CROSS EXAMINATION.
On the cross examination. Mir. Carlisle
said that he went out of the library for
five minutes TO examine the records,
leaving Miss Pollard, Sister Agnes and
Mr. johnson there. To one Of the jurors
Mr.. Carlisle said he was not
sure but it was his impression
that he discovered the card after he re-
turned. MIR, Carlisle said the card was
perfectly fat when he took it from the
book, and the edges were not rolled or
mutilated as now He thought the des-
cription of the card by Sister Agness-
| rolled up edges and other dishgurations-
was distinctly inaccurate He was sure
that he would have heard the opening Of
the bookcase doors if that had been done
while he was looking up the records in
the next room.
William G. Johnson, Mr.. Carlisles law
partner, who was at the asylum when the
card was found, corroborated the testi-
| mony of Mr.. Carlisle He also said that
when Miss Pollard went TO the asylum
library she thought she had left Christ
mas card at the asylum when she was
was there in 1885, and she asked that a
| search be made. The card, she said, was
from William Seymour Davis. The in
itials on the card are w. S. d.
