Washington, April 6.-This was a DAY
of unexpected developments IN tne
Pollard case. Among the surprises was
additional testimony by. Mrs. DR.. Parsons
who gave evidence that the disputed tag
on the Washington born BABY was
actually written by her and not by the
plaintiff. and Mr.. Carlisle made dra-
matte statement as to how the contro-
yerted Christmas card was found IN the
volume of Washington Irving, and that
no one but he and the sister in charge
touched the book case. There were added
two or three more sensational incidents
when the plaintiff was recalled to the
stand.
Mr.. Carlisle said that when he went to
the asylum with Miss Polla d and Mr..
johnson, only he and Sister Augustine
touched the books in which the card was
found. Miss Pollard and Mr.. johnson
were about ten feet away from the table
VIII ere the books were. MIR. Carlisle SAID
he opened one of the books and found
the Christmas card, which was then not
turned at the edges or mutllateu as IL

William G. johnson, Mr.. Carlisle's law
mariner. who was at the asylum when
the card was found, corroborated the
testimony of Mr.. Carlisle. He also SAID
that when Miss Pollard went to the
aslvum library she said she thought she
had left Christmas card at the asylum
when she was there in 1885, and she
asked that search be made for it. The
card, she said, was from Mr.. VIM. Soy

Miss Pollard took the stand in the
afternoon. She said she had never known
and had never seen Mollie Shlnglebauer,
nor Barndt and Kaufman, the persons
who testified that they had known the

every word.
