Douotless. col. Preckiuridge filled in the blank form and the clergyman simply signed it. Un the outside of the envelope in which the certificate was inclosed was written: "If not delivered in two" davs return to C. F. II., M "est Forty-sixth street." The writing on the envelope looks like Dr. Paxton's. At the health department tliere is much speculation over the delay in fil ing the certificate. The sanitary code says that all marriages must be recorded within thirty days, und it is probabie that Dr. Paxton will Ix) called upon for an explanation. According to the certificate, tol. Preckiuridge had been married to Mrs. Wing several months previous to tho time that he is alleged to have confessed his engagement to the widow to Miss Pollard. Tin- Now of the 'cri't Murrl:Ke In Wiihliisiiii. Washington", March 17. The news from New York that the marriage of Col. W. C.

Preckiuridge and Miss Pollard existed nearly a month prior to the date of the secret marriage as given in the certificate which has just been filed in New York. Mrs. Julia C. P.luekburn, the widow of Gov. Luke Plackburn. of Kentucky, who testified in the case on March H, said that on (iood Friday, in lv.Kl. Col. ltreckinridge brought Miss Pollard to her apartments at the Portland, In this city, und presented her as his future wife, asking Mrs. Plackburn to give the young woman her protection during the engagement. Good Friday in 1S9U came on March 31, while the secret marriage is recorded tis having taken place April til" of that year. Miss Pollard testified on the witness stand yesterday that "on one of thu last days of August," in läO.'. Col. Preekinrige had asked her to marry him and she had consented. Col. Preckiuridge was told by a United Press reporter that the certificate of the New York marriage had been filed with the bureau of vital statistics, and asked if he would say something about iL "No; I have not anything to say," he said. "It will all come out later. I mustn't talk of those things now you will have to wait until I goon the stand; then you'll hear the whole story. No; I really can't say anything about it." Mr. Stoll, of Lexington, one of Col. Preckinridge's counsel, said, laughingly, patting Col. ISreckinridge on tho back: "Oh, you just wait until we get this old fellow on the stand, and then you'll know tho truth. Put wer keeping quiet just now." Tin- llrother In the Cme. Lot'isviLl.E. Ky., March 17. Dr. Preston Scott, brother of Col. Itrecklnridge's wife, refused yesterday to answer the question If the statement was true that he had compelled ltreckinridge to marry his sister immediately after the death of the colonel's first wife. His face flushed as he said that the matter only concerned the members of the two families. Dr. Scott visited the newspaper offices of this city the day before the ltreckinridge-Wing wedding hero nnd insisted on the publication of the fact that the marriage would take place then, in spite of the fact that Preckiuridge had previously denied a statement to that effect. It is not known here if Dr. Scott or his sister will testify In the Pollard-Prcckinridgo case in Washington. Shot In n Saloon Frarim. Nnw Yoific. March 17.
