March, 1907, she said, when Taylor

Paul OIszefski Testifies.
He stated he was the father of
Josephine, and that she was under
age, and that he lived at Prompton.

law would like to see you"
| go up and set on the stoop. I
tink it was August, 1907, in Promp-
ton | go up. Mr.. Taylor says l
heard such a story before.
Quite few times after that, said
the witness, he called me father-in-
law.
Mr.. Olszefski denied emphatically
having said "Old Taylor has got lots
of money and I'm going to have
$4,000 out of him"
Tuesday Afternoon.
Testimony of Miss Josephine Ols-
zefski: Mr.. Taylor had the fresh air
children at Prompton the first two
weeks in July, 1907, and two weeks
in August. Miss Helen Baker stayed
two weeks to care for them, and
Mrs. Spencer took care of the last
lot of children. There were about
twelve each time, twenty-four chill
dren in all. Miss Olszefski managed
the house.
No questions were asked her on
cross-eXamination.
Testimony of Paul Olszefski:
Lived in Prompton for about 20
years; moved there from Carbondale
where he stayed years. Before
that he had lived for 4 years in Nam
ticoke, having come over from the
old country-Austria, Poland
Miss OlsZefski recalled: O. Tell
the jury the elements of your dam
age? Q. How you were damaged?
A. | believed he was going to carry
out his promise; then | was ashamed
to face the people in my home town
when he refused. | was very much
disappointed and humiliated when he
refused me. l was willing to marry
him.
William F. Taylor testified as fol-
lows: Q. How old are you? A.
Seventy-five years past. O. How
long have you been blind? A. 1t has
been coming on me for the last five
years. Had a glass eye for about
ten years. Miss Olzefski came to my
employment about 1905. After my
wife left me, or l left her, | went to
Philadelphia with my sister. We
remained boarding for about or 8
years. Then my sister came back
with me to Prompton and kept
house. She wanted help and finally
my sister engaged Josephine, and she
helped her in the household duties.
My sister died on January 3, 1907,
at my place in Prompton. When she
died | intended to go alone with the
corpse to Philadelphia, but there
was so much to be looked after; the
grave had to be opened, an under
taker seen to, and some advertising
done, and l had to see to all of this
myself, and so had to get someone
to go along with the corpse. l was
at my wits end to get someone, and
so was narrowed down to Josephine.
l didn't want to send her because of
her youth, but there was no other
way out of it. DR.. Corson offered
his daughters services which were
accepted. Mrs. Fitzgerald and Mrs.
Smith prepared the body. Went to
Philadelphia. and after funeral was

over, and the family that had spent
some time with us, left, / said to
Josephine that it would never do for
her to remain all alone with me, and
so dictated a letter to her father,
! asking him to let her sister Agnes
come down to stay with her sister,
promising to let her attend a good
school and board her free. Then her
father took her down and l paid her
expenses. Q. Josephine said that
in March, 1907, in the parlor of
your house you proposed marriage to
| her, is it true? A. No, sir. There
was never a word on the subject
from either me nor her. The whole
thing is blackmail. Q. Did you ever
call Mr.. Olszefski father-in-law? A.
NO, sir. Q. After you returned to
Prompton in August, you frequently
kissed her as you left? A. That is
an untruth. Q. You gave her a
Bible, did you not? A. Yes. |
bought some Bibles at reduced prices
for the purpose of giving them to
those who would make good use of
them. She claimed to being convert
ed under DR.. Torrey's preaching, and
so | gave her a Bible and also one
to her friend. | wrote verses in it,
as the text came to me. She claim
ed to be converted on a certain Sun
day and l put that date in the book.
q. You say you never called Mr..
Olsezefski father-in-law? A. Why,
i almost fell off my porch when
first heard it.
On cross-eXamination he said this
is the eighth attack made on me in
the last four years. Mr.. Taylor was
handed watch. @. Do you remem-
ber seeing it? A. Says he thought
it belonged to his sister, as she had
a gold one about that size. @. Did
you give it to Josephine? A. No,
sir. My niece gave it to her. Paid
no attention to it when his niece gave
it to her She gave her dresses,
jewelry and that watch; things that
belonged to my sister. Florence,
my niece, asked me what she should
do with the things, and l said: 81
don't care what you do with them.
| don't care two cents anything
about it."
