Mary" did not have a scar over her
eye when she knew her. She said she
had.
On cross examination, witness said
she had been at the Good Shepherd
about a year. She said that she was
a native of st. Paul, and that her
father was a doctor.
AT the conclusion of the cross-ex-
animation, the defense rested.
Mr.. Butts thereupon proceeded to put
in testimony in rebuttal. He called
Miss Nellie Bingham to the witness
stand. Miss Bingham used to live at
White Bear lake and was acquainted
with Selma Clewett. The witness also
knew Mrs. Hand when the latter lived
in Minneapolis. Asked if Mrs. Hand
had ever told the witness that she,
Mrs. Hand, had never let Selma know
where she was going when taken away
from Mrs. Hands house. Miss Bing-

Miss Bingham that Selma didn't know

On cross examination Mrs Stevens

Selma really knew where she was go
ing. Mrs. Hand had said that she, Mrs.
Hand, didn't know whether Selma
knew or not, because Mrs. Root had
charge of her. Mrs. Hand had said
she was so disguised with Selma that
she wouldn't speak to her. Mrs. Root
was with Selma before she left Mrs.
Hands house.
Isn't is a fact that Mrs. Hand told
you that she had talked with Selma
about going to the House of the Good
Shepherd?"
she had talked with her about going
there when Selma first came to live
with her in Minneapolis"
Witness said she had been the matron
Of the house for young girls since last

connected with the Rescue house,

the American Protective association"
inquired Gen. Clapp.
'My husband disappeared from st.
Paul three years ago." answered the
witness, flushing up.
But was he not a member of the
A. P. Az"
MY husband was associated with al
most every society in st. Paul"
Don't you know that he was one
of the founders of the A P Az"
The witness-Are you trying Mr..
Stevens?
Here Mr.. Butts objected and the
court sustained the objection.
Then Mr.. Butts recalled Selma Clew-

handling of the keys at the House Of
the Good Shepherd. With considerable
asperity Miss Clewett declared that she
was never entrusted with the keys.
thereby contradicting the testimony of
Stanislaus, who was on the stand in
the forenoon.
Miss Clewett emphatically denied
that she ever said she was glad to be
in the House of the Good Shepherd.
She also denied that she ever told Miss
O'Donnell that her cousin, Norman
Clewett, was an A. P. A, and that
he and she could make a case.
The defense did not cross examine
and Miss Clewett stepped down.
That's our case" announced Mr..
Butts.
