He next testified that from th-e time of tho Lexington meeting- until he met her with otner school girls of the Sayre Institute In Lexington, the next October, he had not seen or heard of Miss J'ojlard. "The two old ladles with whom "led there," .he said, "were perL,uy Proper, most estimable and respected persons. If the plaintiff received any -ni t Ver rooTn there at nights, as she has k?ow nothing- of It. It was not I." m,e 13 Pollard was absent from Lexiof nL dui;lnS the spring of 1S, when she aia that her first child was born, witness tieciared that he had no knowledge of her Plrlabouta and had no communication witn her. If she had written him under the nom de plume of Margaret Dillon he had not received the letter, nor any signed "Pox No. 47." "Did you pay the plaintiff anything- when 5u, Parte(l from her at Sarah Guess's?" I cannot use the word pay," replied! the colonel considerately, "I paid the expenses at barah Guess's and presented her a sum, not very large, but enough to pay her traveling; expenses." Continuing-, he denied all knowledge of the letters to lthodes. alleged to have been -written, dated from New Orleans and other places In the South, by Miss Pollard, under tils direction, nor had he ever written a letter purporting- to be from her to her mother or any other person. Their handwritings were so dissimilar that It would have been out of the question. The letters from Mi3s .Pollard to Rhodes, which were read in court, he had procured from the si3ter of Hhodes. through attorney Tenny, of Lexington. He had never seen Dr. Mary Street, of Cincinnati, now Mrs. Logan, and, referringto her description of him as a small man, he said: "I was no more of a pigmy then than I am now." The Colonel described. In a general way. Tils movements !n the year 1SS3. until he met illss Pollard, in August or September, asserting: that he had no knowledge of where phe had been or the reason for her absence. In his boyhood he had been acquainted with Mr. lthodes. Instead of being in Cincinnati on Saturday, Aug. 17, 1S84. when Miss Pollard had testified they met at the public library and afterwards visited a certain house, ha had been engaged In court at Winchester in the trial of Ollie Brown for murder. The next week and all that month he had been greatly engaged. MET HER IN CINCINNATI. "Did you meet Mls3 Polard after the first meeting In the fall of 1SS4, I mean Improperly?" asked Mr. Butterworth. "On the 11th of October I met her in a house In Cincinnati. She came from the western part of the State and I from the eastern. I met her at the Grand Central Depot In the morning and we went to a house, where I visited her twice that day. X returned to Lexington in the morning and she went there by another train." "Did you present her with any money?" "I paid the expenses, whatever they were." The Congressman was able to fix that date because there was a great Republican meeting that night at which John A. Logan cpoke. "You did not have the advantage of attendingthe Republican meeting?" snid Mr. ButtenvGrfh. .

mc to attend a. Republican meeting-. I saw the plaintiff occasionally, but not frequently," continued the Colonel, "during the months of November and December, 18S4, end January, After the fourth of ilarch I was in Washington several days to Introduce to the President some gentlemen who were willing to serve their country. Iy wife's mother was in poor health and I returned on her account: She died on the 24th of March. "The first time I ever had any information from the plaintiff that she had been In a delicate condition was In the summer of 1S87. The first time I ever heard that liar condition had carried her to Cincinnati was in the fall of 18J2. when she desired me to obtain an office for a lady on the ground that her brother had been her physician on that occasion." In answer to other questions the defendant said the plaintiff had informed him that the outcome of her condition was not due to criminal operation ; It waa legitimate; "that It had occurred with her mother's knowledge, under her mother's supervision; that it was through lier mother that loss of character had been avoided and secrecy secured." During this passage Miss Pollard's friends had jrreat trouble in preventing- her from making an outcry. Mr. Hutterworth continued: f'How often till you see the plaintiff in the fall of 155?" "Occasionally, but not often. How often I cannot say." Describing his movements In 1SS3,- Colonel Breckinridge spoke of his connection with the Morrison bill in Congress, a barbecue given him by his constituents and his attendance upon confederate army unions. "I am unable to recall a single Instance when 1 saw the plaintlfT in. the year of 18SV he continued, and then, telling how often he had happened to stop at Miss Hoyt's In Lexington, where Miss Pollard boarded, he fcaid that the noise at the Phoenix Hotel kept him awake at night, and that a friend had recommended the boarding housie to him as a quiet place. The fact that Miss Pollard was stopping there had nothing whatever to do with the change. He was receiving a large mail of dally papers, with eome books, a part of which he turned over to the estimable old ladles, to Miss Pollard and to another young lady there. He did not advise her concerning her reading. "During that time were there any improper relations between you?" "None whatever. We met just as I met the other ladies. There was no suggestion hy word or syllable that Improper relations had ever existed between us." 1IK FCIHKD A SCANDAL. BrecklnrltlKP Endenvored it Keep Mndellne Away from Vnhln;oi. "The plaintiff has said that It was on account of your importunities she came to Washington. How was that?" "I did everything I could do to prevent her," said the colonel, impressively, "and to prevent an o;.en breach and scandal." "Where did y.u first learn of her. purpose of coming to Washington?" Mr. Butterworth inquired. "In Lexington." replied the witness. "From whom?" "From the plaintiff." "When was that?" 'About the third or fourth week In August." "L'p to this time had there been a resumption of your improper relations?" "None whatever." was the reply, and In answer to a question as to whether they met frequently he said that he had seen her occasionally In the sense of meeting her on the street. Continuing, he said: 'After my return to Lexington from Nlcholasville our relations were resumed and I met her at the same house as beA FEEBLE WQMAH cufTering from nervous prostration, excitability, or dizziness, tho result of weakness, derangement, or displacement of tha special organs will rind health regained after using Dr. Pierce's Favorito IYoscriptico.

fere In the latter part of July, 1S87. It was j after the accident in which she was thrown i from her horse. Soon afterward she came to me and said she had made up her mind '.

to leave Lexington because she could get no employment there and Ehe was pursued by gossip about her relations with Rhodes. She said she had consulted Senator Beck about going to Washington, and that he had said it was not a good tlan for her to go to Washington; that It was the worst place for a young woman. I protested against her going there. She slid one morning that it was absolutely necessarv for me to see her, and I met her that n!?ht. when she said she feared she was In j a deHcate condition: that It was not at all ' a matter of certainty, but that If she was i fo there was nothing else left for hor to : do but go somewhere. Tho conversation was excessively unpleasant. I refused to furnish the money. It was a matter of doubt. Only two months had passed since our relations had been resumed. I told her fiat for her to go to Washington might te ! disastrous to herself and to me. Afterward ' I repaid the money which sho borrowed to come to Washington. The conversations cic tctjsiriy unyieasani. ii was some time in the month of September. 1SS7. that she came. I reached here on the evening of Nov. 8 and returned to Lexington the next day. I saw the plaintiff on the street near Washington circle. She Informed me that she was in a Catholic institution at that end of the town, and said there was no doubt of her condition. I returned to Washington the first Sunday in December, but did not see the plaintiff for three months. The plaintiff had moved to the Academy of the Visitation on Massachusetts avenue, but I saw her at the Capitol." "Were these changes mada in pursuance of your suggestions?" "They were not. I received several letters from the plaintiff saying that her health wa very bad. I sent her money at the general delivery; whatever she wanted. She controlled that." DID NOT PROMISE TO MARRY. "The plaintiff has said that on two occasions, after protestations of love, you said you would marry her If it was possible." "There Is not a scintilla of truth in that statement not a shred. Under the circumstances, at no time was there such a statement. The plaintiff never alluded to the possibility of it. Before the death of my wife there was not a solitary word that could be distorted into such a thing." The Colonel was very deliberate and emphatic, and. continuing, declared that she had never told him she gave birth to a living child, nor did he believe it until he heard the testimony of Dr. Parsons. The Colonel said: "If she had told me she had borne a living child it would have given me an excuse to break off my relations with her, for, considering the time of these relations, it was impossible that the child could have been my child." In paying the expenses of the second confinement Colonel Breckinridge said nt firt he had been represented as Miss Pollard's guardian. When the physician. Dr. Parsons, sent an additional bill, he had said that she had better come directly to him, for if she was a reputable physician a professional secret would be safe in her hatid3, and If she was attempting blackmail it would be best to face hex at once. Miss Pollard had informed him that at the Academy of the Visitation she had arranged with the good Sisters to teach in return for her board, and she also would receive instruction in some of the higher classics. That seemed an eminently desirable arrangement, for it afforded her protection and quiet. "During the two years that she was there were there any improper relations between you and the plaintiff?" "There was." "The plaintiff u:;s said that there was never .any suggestion on your part that your relations should be broken off." "From November, 1SJ3, to July, 1SS7, there were no improper relations between us, although I was supporting her. The entanglement between us really began when she came to Washington against my will. I frequently said to her, as earnestly as I knew how, that the relations between us could only result 'n public scandal, and, perhaps, destruction of us both; that her character, her lack of self-control, her temper, was such that some day there must come an exposure. I urged her to go anywhere where she could study, offering to pay her expenses, and saying the burden could be no greater on me than It was. Several times I thought she had agreed to go to Cambridge. She was there some time, and left against my will. Then she told me she had arranged to go on the paper of the proprietor of Bread Loaf, Joseph llaitell, in Vermont. Some of our Interviews were more excessively unpleasant than any words can describe. She would i-ome to me at the Capitol, in my committee room, declare that she was not going to leave; that she was going to have the support I owed her. I suppose at times I became excessively angry and said things that were hard and bitter. I knew that the only alternative was submission or the destruction of the lives of those who depended upon me, and let it go on, hoping that

to-morrow would bring a solution of the problem. I would tell her in every way, from gentle to the most severe, that she was becoming more and more disinclined and unable to take care of herself. Her manner was oftentimes extremely disagreeable." Colonel Breckinridge testified that he had never gone to but one lecture with Miss Pollard; had never submitted manuscript of his speeches, lectures or magazine articles to her or advised with her on the tenor of them. "There was never any but one human being," he said, "who ever advised with me in any way concerning my lectures, from the time I began to speak and lecture down to eighteen months ago, and that person was not Miss Pollard." Colonel Breckinridge was referring to his wife, and his manner was most Impressive. WAS NOT CONCEALED IN THE ROOM. All the persons of the drama were back in their seats after the noon recess, when Mr. Butterworth quoted the testimony of Miss Pollard that Colonel Breckinridge was concealed In the room when she broke her engagement with Roselle. Colonel Breckinridge denied this, explaining that he had never been in Miss Hoyt's house during the spring In question, nor had he known of the existence of Roselle until he saw the "Wessle" Brown letter. Much of the testimony regarding the visit to Sarah Guess's house, he declared, was an absolute fabrication, and the person who had fabricated the conversation between Sarah Guess and witness In September last, trying to dissuade Sarah Guess from testifying in the cose was probably unaware that he was then in Washington in the discharge of his olllcial duties. The applications of Miss Pollard for positions in the civil service were Identified by the defendant. The first one, for the examination taken in Cincinnati in 1SS7, did not boar his indorsement, and he said it was a surprise to him. There was another application In December, 1S3, and a third In November, 1&9, both Indorsed by him. Tao second indorsement, said that he had been well acquainted with the applicant for soven years, that she was of good moral character and reputation, and that she had been a resident of Fayette county since he know her. fler birth was given on the papers as 1SC3, but Colonel Breckinridge s.iid that entry had made "no particular lmnresion upon him." He continued: "My judgment was that If she could pass the examination it would b. of great benefit to her. If she could not, as I apprehended, it would Impress upon her her deficiency In certain rudimentary branches, and spur her to study, as I had advised her to do." A TALK WITH RHODES. Mr. Butterworth next referred to a conversation between the defendant and Mr. Rhodes In regard to the plaintiff, and asked the witness to relate the facts and. 'circumstances of the conversation. "I met Mr. Rhodes at an election booth," said Mr. Breckinridge, "and Mr. Rhodes alluded to the plaintiff, and said he would like to talk with me about her, and we walked to my office. I did not go to S.trah Guess's, wnere the plaintiff wa3. I did not notify the plaintiff that I had seen Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes had been to Cincinnati on the Saturday afternoon, going down on the trahi corresponding to the south-bound train on which we were going to Lexington, so that tho trains passed each other. When he reached Cincinnati he wus informed! that the plaintiff had left Cincinnati, an 1 that I had left Cincinnati, and that I had been to see her the day before. He said to me that he was interested in the plaintiff; that he was engaged to be married to her, and that he had gone down to Cincinnati to consult her in regard to whether she should remain in Cincinnati. Rhodes said he hai had an agreement with her Ly which he was to educate her, to support her during this time, and then she was to marry him; that, in accordance with that agreement, he had spent a greit deil of money on her, more money than he cou. afford to spend, but that he had become very anxious as to whether she intended to marry him, and that he had to make some arrangement r.l-out taking her away from Cincinnati, because he was very much lehind and was bing very much dunned. He said he was getting old, and that If he was going to have a married life it was tim for him to see a!out it 1 told him I had se?n her, and that sh had to'.d me substantially of the same agreement, r.n 1 that she had not expressed any particular desire tu marry him, but had spoken of hr gratitude for what he had dene and of her respect for him. lie said that h? wanted to marry her. and intended to marry her, for he was very much in love with her. During the course of th conversation which was quite long, he said that he ought to marry her not only that he wanted to "... i 4 1 " "

marry her, but that he ought to do so that things had happened which made It necessary for him to marry her, and that he intended to do so, but that she seemed to have taken a dislike to him. He wanted me to tell him what he should do to bring about that marriage." In answer to a question from his counsel, the witness denied that he had related this conversation to Miss Pollard at the time, but said that he subsequently did so. "Did Mr. Rhodes say what it was that made It necessary for him to marry her.'" Mr. Butterworth asked. Mr. Wilson objected that it had not been shown that the conversation had been repeated, contending that If he could tell with such particularity what Rhodes said to him he must tell what he repeated to the plaintiff. MISS POLLARD ADMONISHED. Much of his former statement was repeated by the defendant, and before he had finished Miss Pollard broke forth, sobbing, and exclaimed: "That is not true. Why can't he tell the truth about something." Judge Bradley admonished her: "If you can't control yourself, you will have to leave the room." No attention was paid by Colonel Breckinridge to this interruption. He continued: "I told her in the spring of 1S03 that nftr what Rhodes had told me of the relations between them it would be Impossible that any other relation could ever exist between us." Then Colonel Breckinridge passed on to the spring befce the opening of the Columbian exposition, when he had declined to deliver the opening address, and when, at her request, he had sent her tickets to view the parade in New York. His attention being called to the statement of Miss Pollard that she had returned to Washington from New York at his request in August, PC)3. that he had met her at the depot, taken her riding and proposed marriage, he said: "The plaintiff was not here in August so far as I know. I reached here on the 29th from Lexington, where I had opened the campaign with a speech. I did not see the plaintiff; she was not here. No such occurrence happened. Going to New York on the 20th of September, I saw her at the Hoffman House for the first time that summer. I did not meet her at the depot, Uid not put my arms around her and kiss her, did not say that I had a communication to make, that I was vain enough to believe she would be pleased with me." He did not recollect ever having seen the letter regarding her proposed trip to Germany until it was shown on the witness stand by the plaintiff, although he remembered others signed by a lady purporting to be the secretary of Miss Wlllard. There had been correspondence between himself and Miss Pollard regarding the trip. "We want the witness to produce these letters." said Mr. Wilson. "We have given notice to have them produced." "I received them and destroyed them," replied Colonel Breckinridge. "She met me at the Hoffman House," he continued, "and told me she had an opportunity to go abroad to study with young ladies of good family, and could go if I would represent that she was engaged to be married to me In two years. This was the first time the subject of marriage had been broached. I said I had not enough money, but would not let that stand in the yvxy; that under no circumstances would I consent to any representations of a marriage engagement. She said that she could go abroad, study the modern languages and come back In two years fitted to be my wife. I said that could never be: that I was not open to negotiations of that sort." Witness and Miss Pollard had looked over his offers to deliver lectures. She had figured that the cost would be $1V) a month, but he had expressed his willingness to give her $123 and her traveling expenses. The witness added: "Her final answer at our next meeting at the same house was that she would never go except as my affiancee; she would go back to Washington and be there when I arrived. We parted with considerable acerbity eventually. At our next meeting she said that she did not want to part In that way; that I must rot think her a devil or a fiend. I put her Into a cab, saying, 'You know there can be no such thing as marriage between us, and this affair. If you persist, can only end In public scandal that will destroy us both.' " "When did you first hear that the plaintiff claimed you had engaged yourself to marry her?" "In a communication to that effect In the Washington Post, which I understood was inspired bv her. and thereafter I received several letters from her to the 'same effect." "Now," interposed Mr. Wilson, r'ng. "we want those letters." "I have destroyed them," retorted, the defendant. "I have procured all the letters I have from her to my knowledge. There were replies to those that she may have." TIIIEI) OF HIS TOY.

"When He? Grew "Weary of Madeline Talks with Mrs. Blackburn. The testimony then drifted into the circumstances and conversations concerning the efforts of the defendant to induce the plaintiff to leave the city to prevent the scandal which would certainly come sooner or later if Miss Pollard remained in the city. Then he related a conversation which took place when Miss Pollard had come to him In distress because Mrs. Flllette and another lady had been talking about her. The witness said: "I told her that this was what I had always expected; that such affairs always must come to an end. and urged her to go away as she had promised so many times and to let the scandal blow over. My name was not coupled with that, but I said it would be if the thing went on. Mrs. Flllette had not mentioned my name; it was other persons. She said that she could not have such scandal atralnst her name; that she had a revolver with which she had intended to shoot herself if such stories ever came out. I made light of that. She told me afterwards that she had gone to Mrs. Blackburn, that Mrs. Blackburn had talked with Mrs. Flllette and found that the charges did not affect the chastity of. the plaintiff; that she was charged with being an adventuress: that it was said she lived by her wits, had no means of support and did not pay her debts. She insisted that I must go to Mrs. Blackburn and tell Mrs. Blackburn that the relations between us were such that Mrs. Blackburn must stand by her." Colonel Breckinridge said he had refused at this time to do so. He denied, also, that he had ever snt a message to Mrs. Blackburn by the plaintiff, and asserted that on this occasion he positively refused to have anything to Eay to Mrs. Blackburn In the matter. On several occasions, the witness said, the plaintiff had declared her Intention to commit suicide, saying that she had destroyed all her manuscripts. Including the manuscript of a novel she was wrlth, and that she had given away her clothes. She had once said to the witness that if he did not help her out in the matter she did not intend to let him live that she did not intend to boar the disgrace alone. He had told her there would be no difficulty about It if she would leave Washington, as she so often promised, snd that he would pay her expenses wherever she went. In one of these conversations, when she had apparently consented, she got up and went Into the library, and came back shortly and pointed a pistol at him, threatening to kill him. By strategy he had been enabled to take It away from her before she could do any harm. He kept the pistol, and it was the same weapon she had taken from his traveling bag, with which she attempted his life In New York city. DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM. That scene, the witness said, was followed by an almost Immediate revulsion on tho part of the plaintiff. She broke into a flood of hysterical tears, and declared that she had not really meant to kill him. He had taken the revolver away from Miss Pollard, and that night she had come to his house with a young man and left a note expressing her regret at what had occurred. When he next saw her, two or three days afterward, she had proposed again to leave the city, and he again offered to pity her expenses. Referring to his Interview with Mrs. Blackburn regarding the scandal against Miss Pollard, he said it differed from Mrs. Blackburn's. He thought she had oiened the interview by saying she did not know what Miss Pollard had wanted when she called. The Colonel had asked Mrs. Blackburn to urge Miss Pollard to go away, which that lady had promised to do, and he had spoken kindly of the young woman. He supposed when he left Washington March 13, 1S13. that their relations had ended; that Miss Pollard was going away to study and lead an honorable life, while he provided for her. Later In March he had met her In Cincinnati In response to a telegram from her. She then told him that she had been obliged, under Mrs. Blackburn's cross-examination, to represent that she was engaged to him. He told her that he would go right back and say to . Mrs. Blackburn that it was not true, but, under her Importunities, promised to keep his mouth shut If she would leave the city. Returning to Washington. March 31. he had received a call from Mb Pollard before breakfast. "I agreed then," tho witness said, "If she would go away I would put myself In the jower of the plaintiff and Mrs. Blackburn, and pretend there was an engagement. I said: 'You have put me where there Is no alternative but to put myself in your power and trust you. or to submit to a sctne in the hotel ol'.ice or street per ha ps have an attempt made on my life on the streets. "May I Interpose at this point," suggested Mr. Wilson, and he went on to say that there had been no plea of coercion put in by the defense. The reply by Mr. Butterworth was that there had been no agreement, but only the semblance of one, to preserve what was of

more value than life, under compulsion as effectual as a loaded pistol. He did not care what the duress or coercion was called. "I said that there must be no misunderstanding between us," continued the Colonel, after another tilt with Mr. Wilson, "reminding her that from the first I had said there could be no marriage, but anything short 'of that which I could do to save those who loved me I would do: that she could not trust me, because, knowing the relations I had had with her, while I had such a happy family, she would always suspect me of having similar relations with other women. I reminded her that she had net come to me a maiden: that 1 had not led her astray." THE VISIT TO MRS. BLACKBURN'S. Colonel Breckinridge gave his version of the visit to Mrs. Blackburn, which occurred on Good Friday, according to Mrs. Blackburn, and several days later, according to the witness. With the plaintlfT, he had gone to Mrs. Blackburn's hotel (the Portland), but Mrs. Blackburn refused to see them. Icavins: him in the public parlor. Miss Pollard had gone up to Mrs. Plackburn's apartments, and in a short time he received a message from the eievator boy, saying that Mrs. Blackburn had consented to see him. He found Miss Pollard waiting on the landing outside Mrs. Blackburn's room, and she said that Mrs. Blackburn wanted witness to confirm what she (Miss Pollard) had just told her. Witness said to Mrs. Blackburn that she had been extremely kind, and that so long as the plaintiff had her as a friend she needed nothing else, but in her distress he had offered the protection of his name, and that, with Mrs. Blackburn's friendship and the protection of his name, the plaintiff could well afford to despise what Mrs. Fillette might do. and that he was grateful to Mrs. Blackburn for what she had done. Mrs. Blackburn said that what she had done had been done out of a spirit of friendship for an unprotected Kentucky girl. Mrs. Blackburn said that this had been a great surprise to her, and she could scarcely credit it, and did not know whether she should congratulate him or not. To this he had responded nothing, simply acknowledging it with a bow, and in a few minutes he arose and he and the plaintiff had left the house together, and he walked with her to her house without a word. "I put the key into the door," the witness continued, "and said: 'You must leave Washington before I do or I will notifv Mrs. Blackburn of the relations between us' She said 'I can't go as soon as that.' I was going to Boston the next day to speak at a banquet. She then said: 'I will keep my promise and go as soon as -I can. On account of a misunderstanding regarding the banquet I did not go. There was no misunderstanding between us the next ten days; we both knew the character of the representations to Mrs. Blackburn and I left Washington on the lCth ol April with the same confidence in her I had held when I left on the 13th of March. "I had at least t'AO more Interviews with Mrs. Blackburn before I left for Kentucky. Several ladies were stopping with her, and she asked me to arrange for Mrs. Cleveland to receive them. I did call with them upon Mrs. Cleveland. In an Interview I urged Mrs. Blackburn to unite with me In urging the plaintiff to leave town. She promised to and agreed with me, and said that unless one or the other of us went there would be a scandal and her friendship would cease. Afterwards she told me she had spoken to the plaintiff and that the plaintiff said so also. Mrs. Blackburn said the plaintiff had spoken of going abroad, said she was going herself, -and the conversation drifted toward the plaintiff going with Mrs. Blackburn. I told her the plaintiff's temper was such that she ought not to travel with people that sho could not be controlled by; that she ought to go away and study. Mrs. Blackburn said one or the other should leave, or there would be a scandal. I jsald I knew that the plaintiff would come to my rooms when I was away; that it was perfectly proper; that there was nothing wrong about It, but there were Kentuckians around and they would talk about It." THE HOFFMAN HOUSE INCIDENT. After speaking of visiting Philadelphia as the guest of George W. Chllds, the secret marriage to Mrs. Wing in New York was skipped, and Colonel Breckinridge went cn to tell of his meeting with Miss Pollard at the Hoffman House May 1. He was surprised on entering his room to find the door adjoining his room open, and, walking in, found Miss Pollard there, and but partly dressed. Tho witness said: "She demanded to know where I had been the past two days, and said she had been looking all over New York for me. I responded with a little more rudeness than I should that it ; was nothing to her. Then I went back tomy- room through the short entry between the two. I heard a noise, and when I turned around she? stood in the door with a pistol pointed at me. I shut the door quickly, turned down the latch and touched the electric button. I said I had sent for the police and was going to have her put In the Tombs. She said she was going to shoot through the door. I said 'shoot away, and you will only give me more justification for having you put In the Tombs.' She was rattling the door, and begged me not to have her put in the Tombs. I said: 'You put the pistol down, go in and fasten your door and I will see what I ought to do.' When the bell boy knocked I opened the door. Whether he saw that I was excited I don't know, but I said to him to bring a pitcher of ice water. I don't know whether I was as cool as I might have been." This was said so curiously that everybody laughed. In answer to a question as to the circumstances attending his last marriage, Colonel Breckinridge said he had been married at No. 711 West Forty-fifth street, about 7 o'clock In the evening of Saturday, April 20, by the Rev. John R. Paxton, and the marriage was witnessed by Mrs. Paxton and Mrs. Collier, of Pittsburg. He had married, he said, his kinswoman, the daughter cf R. W. Scott, of Kentucky, widow of Chauncey Wing; of Kentucky, who died abroad some time ago. The Colonel then took up the Blackburn thread of the story. He went Into a long story about some difficulty Mrs. Blackburn had with a tailor over some dresses, in which the tailor had been arrested and had threatened to sue her for false imprisonment. He had said the tailor was bluffing, and they had better call his bluff. Then Mrs. Blackburn had said that there was another matter of greater importance; that he had told he? that he was engaged to Miss Pollard and had asked her to keep the secret, and that witnesses and plaintiff had been together in a hotel In New York. He had replied that he could not give her a full explanation then, but would later on In Washington. Mrs. Blackburn had said that unless he couli reply satisfactorily their friendship must end. He had said that he supios:xl he must submit to her decision, whatever It was.

AT MAJOlt MOORCVS OFFICII. The Defendant's Vernlon of the Scene at the Police Station. Colonel Breckinridge then related the circumstances attending the visit to Major Moore, the chief of police, giving the following narrative: "I and my wife, formerly Mrs. Wing, were in the dining room of the house when the plaintiff walked in and said: 'Excuse me, Mrs. Wing, I want to see Mr. Breckinridge alone on a matter of great Importance.' I turned to my wife and said that I thought I had better go with her As I walked out by Lafayette Park she said: 'I intend to end this matter; I intend to kill you I said: 'All right.' and she went on: 'Mr. Breckinridge, this is your last chance.' The statement that I sail anything derogatory to my wife Is an absolute fabrication, without a shadow of truth on which to hang it. Not a word was said about my wife. She said she intended to end this thing by killing me, and as we walked along she said it would be a good thing to end it by that kind of a scandal, and she was going to kill herself, too. She did most of the talking. There had been no effort on my part to calm her fears; r.o protestation of love, nothing about her being a nervous, excitable child. "When we got to Major Moore's office I asked If he was in. and, being told he was, I went In and the plaintiff followed me. I said to Major Moore: I need the protection of the law. This lady threatens to kill me. I will tell you how I came to be In this position, but I want you to put her or me under arrest.' He said he 'hoped It was not as bad as that. He went over to her, and she held up her hands and said: I have no weapon but these,' and then I said to Major Moore that I wanted o relate all the circumstances, so that he mi.ht decide whether to arrest her or me. Then she broke cut into a fiood of hysterical tears and said: 'Oh, don't tell him; Is it necessary?' I said I intended to tell him everything, when she put her hand on my shoulder and begged me not to tell him. I took her hand off and turned to her and said: 'Will you do exactly what I demand If I do not tell him?' She sail she would, and I turned to Major Moore and said: I think we can settle tlifs oune!ve. " Colonel Breckir.ridfre .all of his sil-2 remark in the scene before Major Moore that b thought he had saM it loud enough tot Major Moore to hear; that h? certainly intended him to hear it, but It appeared from the Major's testimony that he had rot heard what he (Breckinridge had sail. .; After leaving tho otlice with Miss Pollard he had toll her that there could be no more terma between them; that she would have to look to some one elsj for support, and that he did not intend to give her another dollar. They had talked together vf the child that was to be born, ghe.

"No, if it is my child I have the greatest interest in it, and when it is born I can tell whether It Is mine or not." Then the witness told of Miss Pollard's last attempt to shoot him. He had b3en to see her at the house of Mrs. Thomas, in I-Afayette square, a few days after the scene in the oilie2 of the chief of police. He had suspected her Intentions, and as he stepped into the room he threw both arms around her, clasping her tightly around th3 shoulders, slipped his arm down until he could grasp her hands and caught the weapon. This episode the Colonel narrated graphically, stopping to remark Jocosely, "and I have the pistol In my possession now; one of the mementoes of my engagement to marry the plaintiff." When he loosened his arms, he continued, she had fainted or pretended to faint, so he laid her on a divan, put the pi3tol in hl3 pocket, closed the door and walked out. This seemed a good climax to end the chapter, and so court adjourned until Monday. TOLD BY THE EXK3IY, Miss Pollard Tried to Wile John G. Carlisle Into Her MeHlieM. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 30. The Brecklnridg3 people are out with a new story which they claim If substantiated by evidence would .throw the Pollard case out of court. One of Breckinridge's counsel, who just left for Washington, is authority for this story. Carlisle received a note from Miss Pollard, in which she staled that she admirexl him very extravagantly, and wished to sustain with him the closest relations that could exist between man and woman. Carlisle tore tho letter up. He met Miss Pollard a few days later. and she Inquired if he had received the letter. Carlisle said he had. Madeline then asked him not to mention the matter, as she thought at the time her sweetheart was about to forsake her and wanted to get even. "Carlisle will not bo forced to go on the stand, owing to the friendship existing between himself and Breckinridge, said the attorney. The move which was on foot here among the women to get up a patitlon condemning Colonel Breckinridge has been stopped by the publication of their movement before it had matured. Letters were written Itst week to Colonel Breckinridge's friends and counsel In Washington, and replies have been received by many persons saying that such action should net be taken upon the evidence1 of Miss Pollard. This sets at rest all doubts of the intention of the women. They deny that they have signad a petition to Congress, but denounce Coloncl Breckinridge in strong terms. It is more than likely that Madeline Pollard's name will figure in another suit. Col. John E. Wade will bring suit against the wealthy stockholders of the North Middletown Advance for starting the report that his infant daughter had been named Madeline Pollard Wade. The Advance was until recently owned by Rev. Mr. Htruble and edited by James Pollard, a brother of Madeline. The paper now supports Breckinridge. rEllSOSAL AM) SOCIETY. Mrs. S. L.
