The herald., 1894-03-22

we're veiled from her. There was one
who had been yelled from the physician
who attended her, but this WAS In 1884.
The deponent did not know Madeline
Pollard. but had seen her trst
in the month OF December. 1882,
in the library next to thN office,
with Messrs. Carlisle and JOHNSON, her
attorneys, when Miss Pollard had asked
if the sister knew her. Deponent ques-
toned her, but she did not REMAINDER
the sister nor who had been the mo ther
superior. Miss Pollard had said she
went under the name OF Louise Wilsa,n n,
but when the sister said no Louise VIII :
son had been there, but girl nameA
Burgoyne had a child there at that time,
Miss Pollard said: '0h, that was the
name I went by. There we're 30 many
of them / did not remember"
Then Miss Pollard had asked what
had become OF the child; had been told
it died the next July, and bad then gone
into mysteries. Miss Pollard had re-
membered the death of girl while she
was there, but had forgotten the death
of sister who died in room near by:
The sister had said that Miss Pollard
had never been there and did not seem
to know much about the house. Miss
Pollard had spoken of giving the vol
umes of Irving to the convent; the sis-
ter had said che thought the books were
given by girl who had been there, and
who thought she had not compensated
sufficiently for her board. They found
them in the library, and Miss Pollard
remembered having left Christmas
card for man by the name OF Davis In
one of the books which che had found.
The sister said the card had not the
appearance of having been in book for
nine years, but looked as If it had been
soiled up.
SUING PoR REVENGE.
Miss Pollard had said that when the
sister suggested compromise, that Mr..
Breckinridge had no money, and that
she was suing him to disgrace him, the
sister had said Mr.. Breckinridge would
still be Mr. Breckenridge after the trial;
that his friends would still receive him,
while the woman would be ruined.
Attorney johnson had said: "But he
will not he called upon to address young
lady seminaries and open prayer meet.
ings," to which the sister had replied
she presumed there were others at
prayer meetings as bad as Mr.. Breckin-
ridge was accused of being. Miss Pollard
remembered having spoken to the priest
at the convent, and that he was deaf.
The sister superior had reproved her for
speaking to him. The sister denied that
Mrs. DR.. Street had ever called there to
see patient.
Mr.. Carlisle had brought letter of
introduction to the sister from Arch
bishop Elder, who wrote that they had
been recommended to him by Bishop
Kane of Washington.
A servant named Eliza had been un-
able to recollect Miss Pollard at first, but
afterward when the sister cautioned her
to be careful acted as though she might
remember her.
WHAT A BAD GIRL.
Sister Agnes had said to Miss Pollard:
"Whst bad girl you have been to go
with man who had a wife," to which
Miss Pollard had replied: "Ihavs been
a bad girl but better woman"
No inquiry had been made by Miss
Pollard, as far as the sister knew, about
the child she claims to have given birth
to. AZ the sister remembered Miss Bur-
goyne she was shorter than Miss Pol
lard, had been very fond of reading and
spent most OF her time in the library.
Miss Burgoyne was from an Ohio town,
and had been attended by DR.. de Cour-
cey.
The cross-examination of the sister
was read by Mr.. Carlisle, the sister say
ing the writing on the card looked like
fresh writing, as though it had been
written about four weeks before. There
had been an average number of 100 girls
year in the asylum, most of whom
were under assumed names. Sometimes,
when DR.. de Courcey was away, mid
vile attended the births.
After the deposition was finished the
court adjourned.
