"These articles contained in the
booklet published by tho defendants
are all abominable les" were the
words used by Che Mother Superior of
Mount Angel convent, when she was
called to the stand, and asked whether
or not the defendant had any founda-
tion for publishing such articles as
compliance Of in the criminal libel
complaint. Tho Mother Superior furth.
er testified that Miss Lasenen, the
"escaped num-" whose name appears
in the articles complained Of, met her
in Portland, and announced her desire
TO enter the convent at Mount Angel.
The witness testified that Miss Lasen.
en- came TO the convent unaccom.
panied on tho 4th Of February, and
stated that she wanted to become
Benedictine nun, and said at the time
that she had never been in convent
before. Then, said tho witness, the
young woman was taken in and given
a place in the institution and later
granted the privilege Of wearing the
white veil. A short time after receiv-
ing the white veil, stated tho witness,
Miss Lasenen suddenly left tho con-
vent, and, finding her veil in the Gem.
etery near tho institution, the sisters
concluded that she had run away, and
sought tho advice Of Sheriff Esch as to
what they should do in the matter.
According TO tho Mother Superior's
testimony, Miss Lasenen was not given
back the black veil, as was set forth
in the charges made against the con.
vent, or that after she received the
black veil she was subjected to attacks
Of various kinds"
The witness declares that Miss Las.
enen was not n member Of the convent
long enough to entitle her the privi.
lego Of wearing the black veil, and
that she had no right to leave the in.
stitution even in the white veil and
robes Of the place,
Most in Portland.
Sister Mary Rose, the directress Of
