Sister Cecilia said she belonged TO the
order Of Sisters of Charity, and in 1883
was In charge Of the Norwood Founding
| ASYLUM near Cincinnati. She did not
recall any person by the name Of Bur

excluded from the trial, were shown
Sister Cecilia. and. in answer to dues-
tions. she said books resembling these
had been presented TO her by a female
patient at the asylum. When the wit
