made the bargain. This letter
speaks of the child as Hattie. l
will ask you if she is the same
child as the girl who has testified
here and said her name was
Marion? She is the same girl.
Her father gave her name as Hat
tie when first | met him2 Do you
remember what time it was when
she came to Neillsville? To stay
with me, you mean? Yes. About
the middle of the month of March.
Did you receive any pay for board
ing her2 Never. Did you ever
expect any? I told Father Gar
rety l would not take any. And
state whether Or not you boarded
her from the time she came there
until the fourth day of October,
A. D., 1901? Continually. Dur
ing that time did you provide her
with any clothing? Well, l paid
for the clothing, yes. Was that
matter that Lizzie looked after?
She looked after that, and I paid
the bills. Well, she probably
knows what she got better than
you do then? Yes sir, Alright,
| will ask you nothing further on
that subject, except did you ever
receive any pay for any clothing
you provided for her? I never
did. State whether or not, after
she came to live with you, you
sent her to SCHOOL, I sent her to
school the first day. And how
long did she continue going to
SCHOOL, Till sometime in the
month of May. That is, she
continued going to school from
the time she came there
in March until some time in
May2 Yes sir. What school did
she attend? She attended the
Sisters School; the lower room as
we call it. Do you know why
Father Garrety wanted to send her
to Neillsville? Objected to as
incompetent, irrelevant, and i'm
material. Did Father Garrety at
that time have any place himself,
or did he have any parish house,
where he could keep the little girl?
| understood him to say that he
had not. | never was in Black
River Falls in my life. Oh you
were never there yourself? No.
State whether or not he requested
you to send her to this Sisters
School? He did. Why did she
quit going to the Sisters School in
the month Of May? Because the
Sister did not want her any more.
Objected to as incompetent, irrele-
want, and immaterial; and as here
say. | don't know whether it is
or not, still l will ask the direct
question; What is the name of the
Sister in charge? Sister Bernar-
dine. The Court: Is she here?
Not that | know Of The Court:
Here in the city, as witness, |
mean? Not that | know of. The
Court: suppose the purpose is to
show the witness understanding,
inducements, or consider alton on
which he acted. Mr.. Wickham:
Yes, that is all we care about it.
The Court: Well, his answer may
stand. State whether or not the
Sister told you anything about her
not wanting Marion to come to
school there any more? No sir.
What information did you have on
the subject? Same objection.
Mr.. Wickham: | don't expect to
so into the details but just simply
show that he had notice of it.
Objection over-ruled. Miss Nolan
said that she was notified by the
Sisters, not to send her any more.
And did you act upon that infor-
nation? | did. Did you send
her to the Sisters School after
that? Not any more but one day.
What did you do, if anything, in
the way Of teaching her yourself
after that time? | used to hear
her lessons Sometimes, but not
regularly. State whether or not
she would recite her lessons
regularly either to yourself, or to
Miss Nolan? She recited her
lessons every day except during
the two months of vacation. That
is, every day that there was
school? Every day that there was
school. What studies did she
have during that time? She had
a reader and arithmetic, a cate
chisll, and speller. Any more
than that | do not know. State
whether or not you had any diff
ficulty in inducing her to break
off any bad habits that she had?
| | had considerable trouble. With
out going into detail, | wish you
, could state some OF the more
important ones or more important
matters, in which she did things
