Nearly all of Prompton visited
town Wednesday to testify as to the
reputation of Miss Josephine Olszef-
ski, who is suing William F. Taylor,
the octogenarian millionaire who di-
Vides his time between Prompton
and Philadelphia, for damages in the
sum of $4,000 for breach of prom
Use. Many of them said that the
young woman's reputation for truth
and veracity was bad. Testimony in
the case ended about noon and the
afternoon was taken up by argu-
ments of counsel. Mr.. Taylor is a
man of wealth and refinement and
frequently it was question of
whether the attorneys were cross
examining him or he them. The
plaintiff, who was born in Lackawan-
ma county, studied stenography in
Scranton in December, and it was
shown by her former teachers that
she went by the name of Taylor dur
ing her school term.
