cation for his commission. The governor

of witness in February, 1855, was not fixed
In her mind by any particular 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 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 prosecuted by the defendants
representative; that she had told all she
knew. and that she was physically ur able
to so on. Thereupon the examiner Iecited
that long discussion between counsel.
after which the examination was ad-
journed.
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 in a moment two
ck-garbed sisters appeared in the court
room. They wore heavy poke bonnets Of
black crepe.
The elder Of the two was placed upon the
witness stand. and gave her name as Sister
Cecilia. She is the much-talkei Of witness,
who was formerly connected with the Nor
wood Asylum. Mr.. Wilson at once called
upon the clerk to produce the books about
which there has been much question,
and the four volumes of Washington Irv-
ing's works were at once brought in, Sc
curely tied together.
Mr.. Carlisle conducted the examination Of
Sister Cecilia.
Witness remembered that DIR. Mary Street
called twice to see patient at the asylum
The DonISs Drought in.
Then 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.
I'm the clerks office yesterday"
When before?'
II was presented with a set, either these
or like these, by a woman who had been a
patient in the asylum. left them in the
library of the asylum. l 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 1880 a patient
told her that she was corresponding with
some one through the columns Of a Cincin-
natl paper
DO you know Miss Pollard?"
Yes sir"
Had letter from herr"
"Once"
"Where?"
when 1 was in Pueblo. whence 1 came
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 brief-
~ by Mr.. Butterworth and Mr.. Wilson.
AT o'clock the court adjourned till to-
morrow
The Police mt Court.
How the police came to be sent 20 the
court house was something of a mystery
today Marshal Wilson denied that he had
called for them.
Maj. 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.

discharge as preliminary to pension.
In many cases death has occurred during
furlouSh or outside of military duties

existence, and the widow is cut off from
securing a pension. The bill makes the
death of a soldier equivalent to an honor
able discharge, except when the death &C.

Several other important bills were refer
red to subcommittee. One of these does
away with the distinction between wit
nesses based on rank. Another seeks to
make a general law for the many special

are not technically within pension laws
although many Of them suffer from wounds
incurred during indirect service on the
field. The question of investigating alleged
