contour, started to road the deposition
OF Sister Agnes Regina Brown, when
the plaintiffs attorneys interrupted
him, insisting upon the exercise Of
thctr right to examine tho deposition
before it was read. They had no objeC'
tons on a casual glance.
SISTER AGSES's DEPOSITION.
Tho deposition had been taken at tho
Norwood convent asylum near CinCin'
natl, where the Sistcr had boon in 1855.
She had seen all tho inmates some Of
them wGro yelled when they went OH
tho street, but mono were yelled from
hor. There was one who had been
yelled from tho physician who attended
her, but that was in 1854. DeponGnt
did not know Madeleine Pollard, bu,
had ior the first time seOn her in Do.
Comber, 1888, in tho library next TO tho
Office with MOssrs. Carlisle and John
son, hOr attorneys, when Miss Pollard
had asked ii tho sister knew her, but
tho sister did not. Deponcnt questioned
her, but sho did not remember tho sis.
ter, nor who had been the mother su.
porior. Miss Pollard had eaid that she
won't under the name OF Louise Wilson,
but when the sister had said that no
Louise Wilson had been there, but that
4 girl named BurgoynG had Il child there
at that time, Miss Pollard had ropIiOd,
"Oh, that waa the name | went by.
There were 80 many OF them l did not
remember"
Then Miss Pollard had asked what
had become OF the child; had been told
that it died the next July and had thon
gone into Mysteries. Miss Pollard had
remembered the death OF 4 girl while
she WAS there but had forgotten the
death Of n sister who had died in Il
room near by. The sister had said that
Miss Pollard had never been there and
did not seem 10 know much about tho
house. Miss Pollard had spoken Of
giving the volumes OF Washington lr.
wing to the convent. The sister had
said che thought the books were given
by 4 girl who had been there and who
thought TINT she had not compensated
them sufficiently for her board. They
found them in the library. Miss Pollard
remembered having left Il Christmas
card from q man named Davis in one OF
the books, which she found. From the
questions propounded by the attorneys
for the defendant at that time it 6ecma
that they had tried to throw suspicion
upon Attorney Carlisle, OF having slip
ped the card into the book. The sister
had said that the card had not tho ap-
pearauce OF having been in 4 book nine
| years, but looked as though it had been
rolled up. Miss Pollard had said
whea the sister suggested compromise
that Mr.. breckenridge had no money
and that she was suiUg 10 disgrace him.
The sister had said that MIR. Breckin-
ridge would still be Mr.. BreCkinridge
after tho trial, that his friends would
still receive him, while the woman
would be ruined. Attorney Johnson
had said: 'But he will not be called
upon to address young ladies' seminar
les and open prayer meetings." to
which the sister had replied that she
presumed there were others ut prayer
meetings as bad rs Mr.. Breckenridge
was accused OF being.
Miss Pollard remembered having
spoken to the priest at the convent and
tina: he n deaf. The sister superior
had reproved her for speaking to him.
Tho sister denied that Mrs. DR.. Street
had ever called there to SEQ 4 patient.
RECOMMENDED BY BIsHoP KE.ANE.
Mr.. Carlisle had brought a letter OF
introduction to the sister from Arch
bishop Elder, who wrote that they had
been recommended to him by Bishop
keane, OF Washington. Attorney Over
meyer, OF Cincinnati, had called at the
convent looking for the evidence in the
case OF Miss Pollard, bu. had said that
he must send some startling message TO
Miss Pollard's attorney, that he had
been able to find no trace OF her. \
servant named Eliza had been able to
recoilcct Miss Pollard at fret, but after
ward when the sister cautioned her to
be careful, acted US though she might
remember her.
Sister Agnes had said TO Miss Pol
lard: What II bad girl you have been
to go with n man who had = WIFE" to
which Pollard mad replied: II have
been q bad girl, but q better woman"
No inquiries had been made BY Miss
Pollard, 80 far as the sister knew, about
the child she claimed to have given
birth 10 there. AS the sister remem.

spent most OF her time in the library.

cey.
The girl who gave the books had said
when she was there that there was
