To Mr. McCarthy, Father Men stated that if in ordinary cireum- stances a Sister left a convent and went to live in a private house she | would be breaking her vows, but she | would not be breaking her vows if she left because of despair and per- secution. Sister Basil asked him if it would be right for her to dive with friends, and he as her confessor, stated that it would mot be wrong under the circumstances. Mr. McCarthy asked Father Mea if Sister Mary Basil had accompanied him to Smith's Falls when his brother-in-law was dead. Witness said she did, but on the special per- mission of the Archbishop and the Mother Superior, Another Sister could not be secured to accompany her, Sister Basil stayed at the hos- pital in Smith's Falls. Chief Baillie's Evidence. William Baillie, Kingston chief of police, was examined by Mr. Cun- ningham, "Did you have any communication with Dr. Phelan as to an inmate of St. Mary's-of-the-Lake," Mr. Cun- ningham asked. "I did," replied the witness. "I do not know the date but it was over a year ago, Dr. Phelan came to my office and said he expected to have to take an insane person' to Monts real, and asked #f I could let him have a constable to go down with him. He asked for Naylon--he call- ed him Johnny Naylon. I told him to let me know when he was ready. He could not tell then but said he would let me know. I told Naylon that Dr. Phelan wanted him to go to Montreal with him and he would let us know when he was ready." "Did he let you know"? "asked Mr. Cunningham." "Yes," replied the "witness, he just came in and told me he would be ready that night. That was a few days later. I told Naylon that Dr. Phelan would be ready that night to g0 to Montreal and he wanted him to go with him. I told Naylon to see Dr. Phelan for I knew nothing more about it." "Did Naylon make a report as to what took place?" asked Mr. Cun- ningham. "He just said it had through," replied the chief. Mr. Cunningham put in a copy of the charter of thé House of Provi- dence and also ap extract from ithe minutes of the Council of the House dated July 6th, 1916, in which it was stated that it was found neces- sary, in view of Sister Basil's vicious conduct to remove her to the Sisters' convent in 'Montreal. fallen Had Consulted the Mother General. Mr. Cunningham, for the plaintiff, took up the evidence given by Arth- bishop Spratf, on.the examination held for discovery: {féw weeks ago, and read various parts of it. In this examination. the x hbishop admit- ted that Mother Francis Regis had taken up with him the question of placing Sister Basil:in an insane Asy- lum. He could not remember the date, but he thought it was previous to Sept. 14th, He could not remem- ber just what was gaid. The Archbishop thought the con- versation he had. with Mother Fran- ces Regis took place in the office of the House of Providence. He was at the house in his bfficial capacity, The Archbishop could not remem- ber whether he knéw the exact date set for the removal of Sister Basil from the Orphanage. He knew about the time set for the removel he said. A letter from Sister Basil to the Arch- Ibishop was presented, and his Grace admitted having received this letter. The letter of Sister Basil to the Arch- dishop was one of protest over the proposed plans to have her taken away. Mr. Cunningham continued to read questions and answers in the Archbishop's examination for dis- covery, - The Archbishop stated that action had been taken in the case of Sister Basil, as the result of repeat- ed complaints from the Orphanage land also fromthe report of the late Dr. K. N. Fenni¢k, and Dr. Phelan in 1895. In July,+1815, it was de- pided that something ¢hould be done to stop the "disorders" at the Or- phanage. It was decided that Sister Basil should be taken to Montreal. Asked as to the character of the institution, in which it was intended 0 place Sister Bagh, At first the Archbishop referred to the 'lnstitu- tion as an Hospital, 'but when pressed 8 to whether it was an asylum, be replied, "well, I suppose it is." No Chance for Defence. archbishop also admitted that Basil was given no chance to bishop also stated that the Sisters and Constable Nay- done had been done on his presented let. 1e had Superior for the that the Mother General had told him that the council had decided to remove Sister Basil to the Sisters' Hospital in Montreal. He thought it was an insane dsylum. Dr. Phelan, at the request of the Moth- er Superior, got Constable Naylon to assist the Sisters in the removal of | Sister Basil. He asked the chief of | police to allow Naylon to help the Sisters. He did not tell the chief that the Sister was crazy. The chief said that when they wanted him, Naylon could act. Dr. Phelan also stated that he met Naylon, and that | the latter knew there were no pap- ers when he went to the orphanage to assist in the removal of Sister Basil. Dr. Phelan had not attended Sister Basil, and he had not classed her insane. He was just asked to! get a man to asSist the Sisters. * Applies For Non-Suit. The reading of some of the evi- dence taken at the examination for discovery, closed the case for the plaintiff, and at this stage, Mr. e-| Cartay, for the defence, made appli- cation for non-suit, in the case of| the Roman Catholic Episcopal Cor- poration, of the Diocese of Kingston, Archbishop Spratt, and the Sisters of Charity, and when court adjourms ed at 1 p.m., argument had not been ni At a Meeting of Liberals Held Nov. 13th Dr. A. W. Richardson Was unanimously tendered the nomination for Kingston and Portsmouth, as a Straight-Win-the-War Liberal Candidate A meeting of all Liberals and their friends will be held in the Liberal Club Rooms on FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 16TH, To ratify such nomination. Leman A. Guild, Secretary. concluded, Mr. McCarthy stated there had been nothing given to connect the diocese in the alleged acts in any way. There was also no evidence to connect the archbishop. The fact that certain things were done with his knowledge did not make him lia- ble. The community acted on its own initiative. The Mother-General takes the full responsibility. The action should be dismissed against 'the archbishop. Mr. McCarthy stated that the Sis- ters had a right to remove. It was just a matter as to whether the re- moval was carried out in a proper manher, Mr. Tilley, Yor the plaintiff, said that at this stage, there was little to be said. The evidence went to show that there had been a system of persecution of Sister Basil from 1913, ending in 1916, with an at- tempt to get her out of the way. The archbishop had showed a khow- ledge of affairs and interference had also been shown on his part. Great great responsibility. It had also been shown that there was an alliance between the Arch- %ishop and Mother Regis. They both wanted to get Sister Basil out of the, way, so iuat her letter to Rome might be regarded as written by a crazy per- gon.' The idea was that her letters should not be treated with any re- gpect. It was a plan to put the plain;| / 4:ff in a place where she would not be able to enjoy the pleasures she is entitled to as a member of the com- munity. This would also prevent an investigation into her charges. The]: vows. of Sister Basil entitled her to} protection from the Archbishop. In ¢pproving of her removal, he allowed 2 person as sane as himself to be ta- ken to an insane asylum. Mr. Tilley further contended that actual interférénte oh the part of the Archbishop had been shown and that the Archbishop should be put in the box and asked to explain. The case should surely be sent on to the jury. authority he pointed out, involved Cook's Cotton Root Compound COMINGMONDAY November 19th, 8 p.m. Miss Helen Losanitch Hon. Sec.

Garage, Phone 424 Thursday Afternoon's Sessions. When the court resumed its sit. ting on Thursday afternoon Mr. Me- Carthy continued his argument with regard to his request for non-suit. He claimed that nothing could be advanced with regard to what took place: between Dr. Gibson and the archbishop as implicating the arch. bishop in the removal of Sister Basil. He further pointed out that Father Mea had misconstrued the arch- bishop's letters. As to the responsi- bility of the archbishop to protect a nun, Mr. McCarthy claimed that the Sisters of Charity were given full power to make rules for the guid- ance and the discipline of their so- ciety. He read the objects of the society, which were to take care of the sick and the poor. Mr. Me- Carthy held that the archbishop had no legal right to interfere with the society, which was just the same as an incorporated companys; It was governed by its own officers, and the archbishop "and his officials could in no sense be held responsible Tor the acts of the Mother General and those under her. If the arch- bishop, was not legally responsible, Mr. McCarthy asked that His Lord- ship decide upon the point. Mr, Tilley claimed that the attl- tude the archbishop adopted through- out was sufficient to retain him ae a party to the action, He could not see how a line could be drawn re- garding the position of the archbis- tion seemed to him to be very il- advised.
