have to wait until Father had his
breakfast, and then I would comb
it. Then ! brought her before
Father Garrity and told him how
she was, and that she did not ask
me that morning to please comb
her hair; in fact she did not ask
me at all, in any way; and she
stood there by the side of Father
Clarity; and he asked her what
she had told him the night before
She hung her head and did not
say anything. And then he asked
her why she told him the night
before that she would say it, and
that would never happen again,
and how could she go to school
that morning and not have her
hair combed, after she she had
promised him that she would say,
Please Lizzie comb my hair; and
she did not say anything. And
then he told her to get down and
beg my pardon for going to school
that time that way-that morning
that way; and she stood there and
refused to do it without force; and
he took her by the arm and told
her to get down and say Please
Miss Lizzie beg your pardon.
Well did she do it? Did she say
it? She did not say the whole
of it. She said | beg your pardon.
Did she exhibit stubbornness in
any other ways, Or not? Yes sir.
Well in what way? Well she
would make up her mind that she
didn't want to do anything, she
simply wouldn't do it. She simply
would not do it? She simply
would not do it. Well mention
some other instances. If she
made up her mind that she would
not eat, she would not eat. Did
she ever do that? She did. How
often? Well to the number Of
times am not positive; very often.
She would refuse to eat? Yes sir.
Did she have plenty to eat when
she would eat it? Yes sir. She

When she would get up in the
morning, come out of her room,
she would go right direct to the
table without washing herself, her
hands Or anything; and l told her
that was not the proper thing to
do, that she should wash her. And
she would 60 over, and she would
stand by the water, and would not
wash herself. Well were you able
to induce her to wash her face and
hands? If | stood there long
enough to see that she did, she
would wash herself, a little bit.
Did you or did you not take any
means to induce her to wash her
hands and face? | told her that
she would either wash her hands
and face or else she would have to
take bath. Well did you Or did
you not compel her to take bath?
[ never compelled her to. I do
not know whether she took it or
not: What is it? l am not posi-
tive whether she took the bath or
not. Well did she take any baths
while she was with you? Yes sir.
How often? Well every day after
she refused to wash her face and
hands. Did she or did she not
finally get around to wash her face
and hands, No sir. She did not?
No sir. What would she say, if
anything, when requested to wash
her face and hands? | never did
that. That was her answer. You
never did that? | never did that.
Did you or did you not tell her at
any time to wash her face and
hands? Always. Now will you
tell some of her habits in other
ways, as to cleanliness? Did she
