HER FINANCIAL DEALINGS.
Mrs. Logan said that she had had no
financial dealings with Mrs. Burgoyne.
further than the receipt Of $3s. which
was given her as a gratuity. This was
about May, 1855. Deponent did remember
that afterward the young woman made

handsome enough, but did not cost more
than 25 or. 30 cents yard.
Deponent did not see the child at the
hospital. nor did not ask where 1t was.
Presumed that the child was born alive.
for II such had not been the case, she
thought. some reference would have been
made to the fact In their conversation.
Deponent was Interested in the young
woman. but no more than she would
have been in the case of any young wo-
man in similar circumstances who came
under her attention. Deponent thought
she was perhaps the only woman friend
Mrs. Burgoyne had in Cincinnati at the
time. She was more interested I'm the
mother than in the child, for she con-
sldered the former as but little more than
a child herself. being only IS years of
age.
Mrs. Logan said that the office OF DR..
buchanan was about ten minutes walk
from the railroad. She did not know that
Mrs. Burgoyne was we'll acquainted with
Cincinnati. She knew that she knew
where Fourth street was. The deponent
thought she gave Mrs. Burgoyne a note
TO DR.. Buchanan OF Introduction. but
made no arrangements for her care there
In advance.
WHO KEPT THE INSTITUTION.
Mrs. Logan was under the impression
that the institution was kept by both Drs.
Buchanan and Perry, although she had
never called there. DR.. Perry was then
a Miss Perry, and she thought DR.. Bu-
chanan was a married woman. she did
not know that any man resided at the
house. Whether II was or was not
boardng-hOuse which the two women
kept witness did not know. Witness and
DR.. buchanan attended the same medical
college. or DR.. Perry she knew very
little Neither OF the doctors solicited
boarders from witness. Mrs. Burgoyne
was the only one sent TO them by witness.
Since the spring OF 1885 witness had seen
her but very seldom.
The deponent was then questioned con-
cerning the length of time required by
women In which to recover from the
effects OF childbirth. She explained that
cases differed. and that she saw nothing
unusual in the case of Mrs Burgoyne in
that matter. That Mrs. Burgoyne came
TO the Office OF witness in February, 1856;
was not fixed In her mind by any partlcu-
lar thing. She might have come during
March OF that year. She told witness that
she came TO Cincinnati TO be confined.
and that she wished the matter kept a
secret. She said that she was a married
woman; that her husband was dead, and
that she did not wish the family to know
of the birth OF the child.
Here the witness complained that she
was being persecuteds ~ the DEFENDANTS
representative; that she had told all she
knew. and that she was physically unable
10 go on. Thereupon the examiner recited
long discussion between counsel, after
which the examination was adjourned
SISTER CECILIA ON THE STAND.
At the conclusion Of the reading OF this
deposition at 2:35 o'clock Mr. Carlisle an
nounced that he had sent for witness to
put upon the stand. and I'm moment two
black-garbed Sisters appeared in the court
room. They wore heavy poke bonnets of
black crepe.
The elder of the two was placed u,ol the
witness stand. and gave her name as Sis
ter Cecilia. She Is the much-talked-of
witness who was formerly connected with
the Norwood Asylum. Mr.. Wilson at once
called upon the Clerk TO produce the
books about which there has been 80
much question, and the four volumes OF
Washington Irvlng's works were at once
brought in. securely tied together
Mr.. Carlisle conducted the examination
of Sister Cecilia.
Witness remembered that DR.. Mary
Street called twice to see a patient at the
asylum.
THE BOOKS BROUGHT IN.
Them Mr. Carlisle took the books in his
hand. and carrying them. to Sister Cecilia,
asked her to tell where she had ever seen
them before

or like these. by woman who had been a

library of the asylum. / cannot say posi-
lively that these are the books but my
best opinion Is that they are the same"
The witness said that in 1885 they had a
chaplain who was very deaf.
Sister Cecilia said that In lsS5 patient
told her that she was corresponding with
some one through the columns OF Gin

"'Do you know Miss Pollard?"
"Yes, sir"
Had a letter from her!
"Once."
"Where?'

here"
Sister Cecilia was asked whether IN that
letter and in conversation Miss Pollard
had not described scenes and incidents at
Norwood with reasonable accuracy. The
question was objected to, and argued
briefly by Mr.. Butterworth and Mr.. Will
son.
At o'clock the court adjourned till to-
morrow.
THE POLICE AT COURT.
How the police came to be sent TO the
courthouse was something OF mystery
to-day. Marshal Wilson denied that he
had called for them.
Major Moore stated that all there was
OF the matter was that the men had been
sent there by authority, just as had been
done before.
