Judge Bradley Warns the Counsel In
the Breckinridge Case.
THE FISTIOUI‘F IGNORED.
A Rather Dull Day In the Usually Sensa-
tional Breach of Promise Case——One Dep- '
osition Bead—The Judge's Mild
Rap at the Newspapers.
\VASHINGTOX, March 14.—-—Such a gather-
ing of lawyers as filled the circuit court
where the Pollard—Breckinridge care is on
trial has seldom been seen in \Vashiugton.
Members of the local bar crowded the
place to see what sentence Judge Bradley
would mete out to the visiting Kentuck-
ians who had made a pugilistic assault
upon Miss Pollard’s attorneys the night
before. ,
Within the recollection of the court ofli-
cials there had been no instance of a re-
sort to fisticuifs by practitioners before
the local bar, and the sentiment of lawyers
was for a strong punishment of. their
brethren who had so disturbed the dignity
of the court and imported unrelishcd inno
vations.
Colonel Breckinridge, smiling, as usual,
was shaking hands with his cousin, Gen-
eral Joseph Breckinridge, when Judge
Bradley took his seat on the bench. There
was a moment of very impressive silence
following the roll call of the jurors, the
judge seeming to wait for explanations
from the lawyers. Then he said: “I notice
the papers have laid out a course of pro-
cedurefor me to follow regarding an oc-
currence just outside the courtroom after
the court had adjourned yesterday even-
ing which the court ‘did not see, and which
the parties concerned in it. probably regret
as much as the court does.
“It is not a. matter of which the court
can take judicial notice. Asit was past
the hour for adjournment when the plain-
tiff’s counsel had finished speaking last
night, and as. I noticed some evidences of
excitement on the. part of the defendant’s
counsel, I thought it best to adjourn the
court, thinking that after a night of
thought over the connection in which cer-
tain words had been used the counsel
might look upon them differently. Had
the trouble referred to taken place in
court it would have been the duty of the
court to take judicial notice of it, and he
would have done so promptly.”
There was a pause and a rustle of sur-
prise, after which Judge Bradley pro-
ceeded:
“There is another matter about which 1
deem it my duty to speak. The court has
received information that some of the gen-
tlemen representing the defendant have
come into the courtroom armed. There is
a law for the punishment of the offense of
carrying concealed weapons—not as strin-
gent as I wish it was. This is a law abid—
ing community, the courts are adequate to
protect citizens, and as such conduct is un- ,
called for it is most reprehensible. If the
court has information adequate, he will see
that prosecution is begun in the police
court of the, district.”
None Carried “'eapons.
Here Mr. Butterworth arose, stating
that he had never~ carried a weapon and
thought the counsel should be given an
opportunity to enter disclaimers, as he
would regret the occurrence of such a
breach of order as much as the court.
One by one the lawyers for Colonel
Breckinridge declared that they had not
carried Weapons, Mr. Shelby beginning
with the statement that he had never car
ried a weapon in his life, Mr. McKenney
following with a similar statement, Mr.
Stoll declaring that he had never entered
the presence of a court armed, and then
Mr. Thompson remarked, “’As I am the
only one left, I will enter a disclaimer
also.” . ,
Mr. Carlisle rose to say that he wished it
understood that the information had not
come from any of the plaintiff’s counsel,
to which Judge Bradley assented, remark-
ing that it had been made to him by repu-
table parties. . ,
The belligerent episode having thus been
closed, Attorney Stoll, for the defense, was
asking to be permitted an argument in
support of his motion to suppress the dep-
ositions taken the day before the trial,
when Judge Bradley interposed, “I hardly
think it is necessary, as the court was
about to decide in your favor.”
The judge excluded the depositions on
the ground that they did not conform to
the law—that they must either be written
by the deponent or by the notary before
whom they were taken—~33 they were writ
ten afterward by a typewriter.
An exception to the ruling was taken
for the plaintiff.
Another deposition, that of Mrs. Mary
Logan, taken before Notary Lowry J ack-‘
son in Cincinnati, was ofi‘ered for the plain-
tiff and objected to by the defendant. In
the argument following it developed that
this testimony was concerning the birth oi
Miss Pollard’s first child.
Attorney Carlisle admitted that the
identification of Miss Pollard by the wit-
ness was not complete, but complained ol
the manner and length of the cross exami-
nation of Mrs. Logan, who had herself pro
tested against it as persecution. These last
reflections were refuted by Attorney Stoll,
who claimed that the notary had shown
partiality against the defendant, and that
Mrs. Logan’s nervous condition had prc
yented the completion Of the cross ekami-
nation. ‘
Judge Bradley decided that since more
than a day had been consumed in cross ex-
amination of Mrs. Logan the rights (if the
defendant had been preserved and admit
ted the deposition, the defense noting an
exception. ,
Mr. Mary Logan is ‘0. Cincinnati physi-
cian, as appeared from the deposition read
by Mr. Carlisle. She had in 1884 treated a
young girl who gave the name of Monica
Burgoyne, saying that her friends called
her “Mona,” and the witness said that Miss
Pollard, who was then in the notary’s of-
fice, bore some resemblance to her, al-
though she had doubtless changed. It was
the young woman’s first child. and she, had
répffis’ented that her husband had died or
there were family reasons for keeping the
birth a secret.
“'as It Miss Pollard?
Afterward the female physician had call-
ed upon the young woman in a small house
opposite a mattress factory in Cincinnati.
At. the suggest-ion of herself or Miss Pol-
lard, thalatter had gone to the Catholic
sisters on the Reading railroad, three or
four miles from Cincinnati. There the
physician had made two or three calls, al-
though the young woman was under the
charge of the physicians of the institution.
Four or five. months afterward “Mrs.
Burgoyne” had been taken to the house of
Drs. Perry and Buchanan, where she
passed under another name, which the de-
ponent could not remember. The young '
woman had said that she could not let her
identity be known because the parents of .
her husband must not know that she had
married him. Once she had gone away,
saying that her mother’s house had been
burned.
An elderly gentleman had called for the
doctor when she was at the house of an
other patient, but he had not been con—
nected in the mind of the witness with the.
young woman’s trouble. If Miss Pollard
was the person, the doctor could not iden-
tify her certainly.
She said: “She‘has changed greatly, if it
is she. It has been several years since I
saw her. This lady’s figure is thinner; her
hair. is different. She has changed in many
ways. I am positive that the young wom-
an wore spectacles.” [Miss Pollard is thin
and does not wear spectacles]
The cross examination was read by Mr.
Butterworth. It appeared that the maiden
name of the witness, under which she prac-
ticed, was Street, and that she had been a
graduate of the Boston university. She
was certain that the young woman had not.
passed under the name of Louise XVilson. .
The reading of the deposition was very
tedious, taking more than two hours, and
served to empty the court of a majority of
spectators.
During the morning there were no ladies
in court, not even Miss Pollard and her
two friends appearing, although it was
said that she had recovered from her pros-
tration of yesterday. Her lawyers have
not yet decided whet-her the plaintiff will
be placed upon the stand to testify, as she
is in such a nervous state they fear she
would not- be able to stand the ordeal.
