young woman three four times at DR..
Perry's and Buchanan's Deponcat thought
II must have been four or five month, be-
tween the time Miss Burgoyne called on her
at her office and when she last saw her at
DR.. Perry's and Buchanans. Deponent
said the young woman was not known at
that house as Miss Burgoyne, but under
another name, she having changed her
name at the sisters to hide rer Identity.
Miss Burgoyne said she did not want the
parents of her husband or herself to know
they were ever married.
Man Called.
Deponent said Miss Burgoyne never told
her any of her history. She was very reti-
cent. Once when she went away she told
deponent that her mothers house had been
burned. That was about all she ever told
her. once. while Miss Burgoyne was at
the hospital. man called at deponents Of
fice--an elderly mainland had followed her
to the house. He asked after the name
Miss Burgoyne bore at the hospital, and
which deponent could not recollect, and
asked where the young woman was. De-
ponent told him that she was at the hospi-
tai. She could only recall that he was an
elderly man; she presumed his hair was
turning gray.
The deponent again said that the plaintiff
might be the same person as Miss Bur
goyne. She was thinner her figure and
hair were different, and she was changed
In many ways. She thought Miss Burgoyne
wore glasses. She thought she was the
same person, but could not be positive.
Points ON Cross-Ex n minatiou.
When Mr.. Carlisle finished the report of
the direct examination OF Mrs. Logan he
turned the voluminous deposition over to
Mr.. Butterworth, who read the cross
examination. This was very long. Among
the points brought out was the fact that
Miss Burgoyne seemed well provided with
money. The room Miss Burgoyne had oc-
cupied when deponent called on her was
rather poor room and not such wo
man of means would be apt to take. Miss
Burgoyne was a very Intelligent woman,
and they talked considerably about books.
Nothing had struck deponent as out of the
ordinary in her appearance. She wore
glasses. and when she took them off depo-
nent noticed that the pupils of her eyes
ontracted as usual in Cases Of persons ac-
customed to wearing glasses.
Before the reading Of the crosS-eXamna-
ton was concluded the court. at half-past
II o'clock, took recess for half an hour.
The Afternoon Session.
Miss Pollard was not present at the after
neon session Of the court.
A few minutes after l o'clock, when the
court reconvened. Mr.. Stoll continued the
reading of Mrs. Logan's deposition at the
point where Mr.. Butterworth left off when
the court adjourned. This was in the midst
of the cross-examination of Mrs. Logan.
Further questions ELECTED from the de-
ponent details of her visit to this Miss Bur-
goyne at the institute, and continued the
minute description of the house and the
room in which was the young woman WIS.,
tied. The cross-examination went at sur
prising length into the minor facts of the
visit, such as description of statue of
ST. Joseph in the hospital whether 1t was
plaster or marble; whether the name was
on the statue or on the pedestal. One eye
in the statue was defective, and in his
crCss-examination Mr.. Stoll attempted TO
find whether
mus or the result of an accident. Mr.. Stoll
wanted to find out how the statue was
dressed; whether it had on robe or
short coat; whether the figure was standing
or seated. and If it had on sandals or shoes
The matter of the size of an altar. which
Mrs. Logan saw at the time of her visit
was also gone into with equal attention to
the minutiae.
some Very Minute Questions.
Mrs. Logan was asked as to the route she
followed in going from the chapel to the
room in which Miss OF Mrs. Burgoyne lay
at the time of the visit, and the size of
the chapel and of the room furnished the
subject for more than a score of questions
Mrs. Logan said that at the time of her
visit the young woman was getting we'll
and was expecting to leave me place in a
few days. Deponent Informed the young
woman that she had secured a room for
her at DR.. Buchanans. This was done at
Miss Burgoyne's suggestion, but IL was q
business arrangement between herself and
DIR. Buchanan. No contract was .nade for
medical treatment but deponent presumed
she had told DR.. Buchanan. who was q
young woman physician just starting into
business with DR.. Perry, that Miss Bur-
goyne was just recovering from a contlne-
ment. DR.. Buchanan gave no intimatlon Of
the course of treatment. Deponent told Dr.
Buchanan where the young woman had
been confined. but did not speak Of her by
the name of Burgoyne. Did not tell the
doctor that the young woman had changed
her name, but thought she had referred to
her by name which had since slipped her
memory. 1t might have been Miss Wilson.
but she was not sure; at any rate it was
by the name which the young woman had
given to her at the hospital.
Why She Selected This Room.
The fact that DR.. Buchanan was a ply
stefan had nothing to do with the action of
deponent in securing a room for the young
woman at her house. She simply knew that
these two young women physicians had Il
large house and an expensive establishment.
and would, presumably, be only too glad TO
rent one of the rooms. When Mrs. Bur-
goyne was removed from the hospital she
was able to ride in carriage and there
was no need to use a cot Or call for The
services of an ambulance.
When Mrs. Logan saw the young woman
at DR.. Buchanans, there was nothing said
about any course of treatment that she had
undergone. Deponent thought that the
room was the third floor fronl, but did not
remember such little details this, as she
herself was expecting to be married short
iy and did not suppose she would ever see
the young woman or would ever hear Of the
incident again.
Deponent did not know why it was that
the young woman preferred to be known
at the hospital as a Miss Somebody Uhis

Deponent did not know the rules Of this

goyne had given deponent 20 understand
that she was entirely without friends in
Cincinnati, though she admitted she had
attended Bartholomew School, a high grade
private school IN that city. When deponen.

woman was as we'll as could be expected a
fortnight or three weeks after unde rgoing

Her Financial Dealings.

to her as a gratuity. This was about May.
