THE OTHER SIDE
Continued from Second Page.)

Miss Pollard told me that she had given
some books to the asylum-Washingto
Irvfng's works-but l told her l thought
they had been given by young woman
who thought she had not sufficiently COM
pensated the institution. The books We're
produced. all four volumes. 1 found two
volumes and MIR. Carlisle the other two.
Miss Pollard said there ought to be in one
Of them a Christmas card, and this she
found in the fourth volume, together with
an invisible net that she claimed she used
to use to fasten up her bangs"
In answer to question the deponent
said that the card looked rumpled and
bent at the edges and not at all as though
1t had been kept in a book for nine years.
Miss Pollard told her that people would
be surprised at what ladies ani gentlemen
she would have as witnesses when the case
came up for trial, and when she was asked
why she was bringing the suit she said II
was to disgrace him for denying his en-
gagement or refusing to live up to his
promises Deponent told Miss Pollard that
she would be the only one to suffer by the
trial. for Mr.. Breckenridge could walk out
OF court with his head up and his friends
would recognize him as before while her
life would be ruined forever. Miss Pol
lard replied that she was determined that
he should no longer have the opportunity
to address young ladies and make speeches
to religious societies
Another Sister Failed to RecOgnixc
Miss Pollard.
Deponent stated that another of the
sisters was present at the interview but
failed to recognize Miss Pollard The lat
ter. too, was asked what she wore when
she was in the asylum. but could not re-
member at first, though afterward she said
she thought she wore a henrietta cloth
dress. No female physician visited any in
mate OF the asylum In the spring of 1885,
deponent said, and II Dr. Mary Street came
to see any one In 1885, 1t was without her
knowledge, and such state Of things she
did not think was possible Miss Pollard
spoke of the death while she was there of
a girl who had formerly been servant.
but deponent did not recolect such an oc-
currence, though the records showed the
death OF girl short time after who was
pay patient.
Mr. Carlisle and Mr.. johnson were in
troduced to the authorities of the asylum
deponent continued, by letter from the
archbishop of the diocese Wm Henry Ell
der, who said they had been recommended
to him by Bishop Keane of Washington. No
enort was made deponent Said to keep any
Information from Miss Pollard or her law
yers. She did not remember a zinc trunk
at the asylum in 1885. nor did she remember
sending any woman to DR.. Belle Buchan-
ans In 1880 In a carriage The asylum
owned no carriage and 1t was an inviolable
rule never to send away any woman, no
matter how poor. before she was fully re-
covered. never inside of two weeks.
Eliza, simple e-mnded servant at the
place. did not recollect Miss Pollard
though the latter spoke of a lamp with
clock In 1t that Eliza had placed in her
room while she was In the asylum. Depo.
nent was certain that no such lamp and
clock were ever In the asylum.
The Hours Of Meals.
During this interview Miss Pollard said
they used to have breakfast at 7:3O, dinner
at II 80 and supper at 53O. In point Of
fact, deponent said, breakfast was at Gas,
dinner was at II and supper at 8. Miss
Pollard was also mistaken as to the hour
and circumstances Of the celebration of
mass.
Did Not Think Miss Pollard and Mis-.
BurgOyne the Same.
Deponent stated that in her opinion Miss
Burgoyne and Miss Pollard were not one
and the same person She described Miss
Burgoyne to show wherein the two differ
ed. II she saw Miss Burgoyne again she
was sure she would know her again. Miss
Burgoyne was from Ohio. and was at
tended by a male physician, DR.. DeCourcey.
During the interview Miss Pollard told
how a number of things were at the time
she claimed to be at the asylum, but really
they were not that way at all
AS to the incident of the finding OF the
Christmas card deponent could not say
whether one Of the parties present at the
interview had put II In the book. though
this might have been done as she was look
ing in the other direction. Deponent said
that, in her opinion. the card had not been
in that book for nine years. The card did
not look that way, and the books, too. were
at the disposal of the inmates to take to
their rooms and use them as they wished.
Miss Pollard described the delicious
meals she used to have" radishes, lettuce
and all sorts of early vegetables In point
Of act deponent said the institution was in
debt at the time and the meals were plain
and wholesome, but not at all luxurious
and marked by an absence of all early and
expensive fruits and vegetables.
The CrOss-E Nj minntiOn Read.
The cross-examination, which was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Mallon. was read this after
noon by Mr.. Carlisle. The deponent stated
that there was a statue of st. Joseph in the
chapel, of plaster of Paris. but there was
no marked defect about 1t. 1t had been
in the chapel for about thirteen years. De-
ponent was made sister superior of the
Institution in August, 1855. Prior to that
time Sister Cecilia was In that position. In
the absence of Sister Cecilia, deponent was

The deponent said that her duties We're
mostly on the second floor, while Sister
Cecilia had the floor below
Referring to the Washington Irving
works. the deponent said that so far as
she knew, Mr.. Carlisle had one of the
volumes in his hand all the time. Miss
Pollard and NJ. Johnson had two other
volumes. The rose found in one of them
by Miss Pollard had been pressed for "A
long time. but hardly, she thought, more
than year
