WASHINGTON, March 17.-—The>eligibles
who managed to run the gantlet of door-
keepers into the circuit court today were
unusually numerous and distinguished in
appearance. They were able to get an
early sight of the principals'in the case,
for Miss Pollard and Colonel Breckinridge
appeared earlier than has been their due-
tom, the pfiintiff looking somewhat worn
by the strain of the trial, the stalwart

congressman beaming with his perennial-
freshness and shaking hands with the ar-r

ray of lawyers and relatives around the
tables of the defense, while his slender an-
tagonist: busied herself with her morning
mail, which seemed to include a great var»
riety of epistles, the import and sources of
which can only be conjectured, though
most of them appeared to be in feminine
hands.

Once Miss Pollard turned to flash 3 quick
glance from her black eyes in the direction
of the Kentucky statesman, but did not
catch his attention, for he was absorbed in
the comments of the morning papers upon
his case.

After the lawyers had rustled their pet
pars fora quarter of an hour, there was a
ripple of great surprise, for no less a per-

sonage than the plaintifl herself walked,

around to the witness stand, took a seat
directly facing Colonel Breckinridge and
the whole room full of men.

“My father was a saddler,” said she cool-
ly. among her her first replies.’ “He died
in 1876.” ,

“Did anything impress his death Upon
your mind?” inquired Mr. Carlisle. '

“My father was an Odd Fellow and a
Mason. Members of the grand lodges of
the state attended his funeral.

“He left no estate,” she continued. “Two
of my sisters were taken to live in the Odd
Fellows’ home. My momma. said I was
bom on the 30th of November, 1866.” She
had always supposed that to be the date of
her birth and had attached it to all her pa-
pers on file in the civil service bureau.

“Mr. Breckinridge indorsed all those pa-
pers,” she said, gazing directly at him.

“When did Mr. Breckinridge meet you
in 1892?” asked Mr. Carlisle.

“In one of the last days of August, 1892,
he met me at the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pot in W‘cshington. He put both arms
around me, kissed me, drew, - his arm
through mine and led me to a carriage.
He told me that all his children had grown
up, that he had determined to marry me,
and I said I would marry him.”

Breokinridge’s Marital Record.

She had stopped at 25 Lafayette Square
for a few days during that visit, had seen
Mr. Breckinridge every day, and added:
“He said that he had married his second

, wife 14 months after the death of his first

wife, and a year after the death of his sec-
ond wife would not be too soon to marry
me. I told him we ought not to marry for
two years and proposed to go with Miss
Willard on a school trip for young ladies
in Europe. He said I must not go and

leave him living in rooms, a thing he had ~

not done for 30 years. He put it on the
ground that I would be selfish to go, and
I did no .” .

A letter dated Gray Gables, Buzzard’n
Bay, Mass, in October, 1892, from Miss
Catherine Willard, and which referred to
the preposal that Miss Pollard join the Eu-
ropean party, was read to the jury.

Colonel Breckinridge had paid the ex-
penses of Miss Pollard on her New York
visit in the fall of 1892. IVhen‘thc colonel
was in Washington, she saw him every
few days. The question of marriage was
resumed at this time, and although no
date was fixed, the colonel always insisted
that a year after his wife’s death, which
would be in the spring of 1893, would be
the time most suitable to him.

Miss Pollard said that once on a lectur-

" ing trip to New England she had accompa-

nied Mr. Breckinridge. During her stay
at Mrs. Thomas’, at 1918 H street, \Vash.
ington, in 1892-9, she had seen Colonel
Breckinridge always once a day, sometime:
twice a day and often in the evening. She
had spoken of the engagement to Mrs.

Thomas, and also repeated the circum-

stances related by Witness Claude de la
Roche Francis, pronouncing. the name

'Frawneis, as did the young man. Colonel

Breckinridge had expressed regret that
she had met Francis, because he know
man Kentuckians, and the engagement
Won d be spread all over Kentucky before
they weregady to have it knewn.

The via 0 Mrs. Blackburn was also re-
hearsed by Miss Pollard, who declared
that Colonel Breckim'ld 9 had introduced
her to Mrs. Blackburn 51th these words:
“I want to place this young lady under
your protection, for I intend to make her
my wife; She is a great deal to me now
and will be a great deal more.” She re
peated the circumstances of Colonel Brock.
inridge’s visit to Mrs. Blackburn, when he
had c‘xplained- to her the engagement, and
8 aka also of the instance when Colonel

reckinridge had placed his arm around
her, saying, “He was most affectionate and
moat kind.”

Mrs. Blackburn Objected. .

“I asked Mr. Breokinridge then, as he
was talking of going to Chicago, to name
the day when he would marry me. I think
I knelt down beside him and put one arm
over his shoulder, but Mrs. Blackburn ob-
jected.” ‘

This was on Sunday, May 14, 1892. On
Saturday, May 13, the day before, she had
visited the office of Dr. Lincoln with Cola-
nel Breckinridge and the same day went
to the office of the chief of police, Major
Moore, a visit which that oflicial had de-
scribed on the stand. The second visit was-
on May 1] to Major Moore.

Then, going back almost 10 years, to fill
time of her first meeting the defendant in

 

the case, Miss Pollard testified! “In April
of 1884 I was called to see my sister, Whfi
was sick at Frazikfort.’ Mr. Rhodes had
put me on the car at Lexington. Before
the train “had gone far a gentleman came
to me, saying: ‘Your face seems vary fa-
miliar. Don’t I know you?’ I replied: ‘I
think not, but I know you. You are Colo~
nel Breckinridge.’ He asked if he could
come and see me. 1 said, ‘My mother and
my aunt will be very glad to see you.’
After‘a short conversation he left me.”

“Will you relate the history of your re-
lations with Mr. James C. Rhodes?” said
Mr. Carlisle.

Miss. Pollard thereupon told how ski

had met Mr. Rhodes and became interest-

ed iu him because he had been a soldier
with her uncle. He wanted to marry her
then and there, but she was not ready to
marry any one because her education had
not been completed, nor to marry him at
all. He offered to pay the expenses of her
schooling if she would marry him after-
ward. She and her mother had signed a
paper promising that witness either would
marry Rhodes or pay back the money with
interest. Often after that he had visited
her and she had written to him. His let-
ters to her had been destroyed.

Mr. Carlisle was asking if any of the let-
ters had given her trouble, but the defense
objected, Mr. Thompson declaring, “IVs
have nothing to do with Rhodes.”

“He wrote telling me that he could com-
pel me to marry him right away,” contin-
ued Miss Pollard when the question about
the Rhodes letters had been settled. “I
was greatly troubled, knowing no man on
earth to whom I could go for advice. I
finally thought of Mr. Breckinridge and
wrote to him asking whatl could do in
the matter. He did not write, but came
himself soon afterward. The servant
brought up his name. We did not have
visiting cards in those'days. She’said Colo-
nel Breckinridge was there. I went down.
I remembered that he commented on my
being dressed in pink mulls. He said we
could not discuss the matter very Well
there and said, ‘Can’t we get up some sort
of relationship to go out together?” I told
him that was not necessary; as it was
summer time, and said we could go walk-
ing then. He said it was too warm. It
was very warm, being in August.”

The Carriage Ride.

After Miss Pollard had told how she had
introduced Colonel Breckinridge to the
principal of the school, to whom he had
spoken of her as the daughter of: an old
friend, and after she had also narrated the
story of how he had called for her that
night in a closed carriage, giving the ex-
cuse that the night air hurt his throat,

Ithere wasa pause of expectation for the

next question.

“IVhen did you next meet Colonel Breck-
inridgefr”

“At the public library in Cincinnati at
10 o’clock the next morning. During all
that evening Colonel Breckinridge had
said nothing about Colonel Rhodes. He
had said if Iwould meet him there the
next morning he would advise me about
it.”

“Where did you next see Colonel Breck-
ini'idge?” ‘ '

“I went with him to Sarah Guest’s—the .

house of designation in Lexington.”

“\Vho was with you there?”

“Colonel Breckim-idge was there most of
the time. Monday morning he came in a
terrible fright because Mr. Rhodes had
been to Cincinnati and had found that I
had left the school. He said I must take
the first train and not let Rhodes know
where I had been.”

After some more detailed testimony, Miss
Pollard told how in February, 1893, she
had gone to Cincinnati, had stopped at the
St. James hotel under an assumed name,
Colonel Breckinridge having directed her

.to obtain a list of the lady physicians in

the city and to secure the services of one
under pretenses which would in no way
connect her with him or reveal her identity.

“Why did you go to Cincinnati?” Mr.
Carlisle continued.

“Because I was unwell and needed treat-
men ,_H To Dr. Mary Street she had given
the name of Burgwin and had registered
at the asylum under the same name, but
Colonel Breckinridge wrote to her there as

- Lizzie Wilson.

“HOW long were you at the asylum?”

“My baby was born on the 29th of May,"
was the reply in a firm tone, “and I left
there as soon as I was able to be moved aft.
erward—-in about two weeks.”

After speaking of the time spent in Dr.
Buchanan’s house in Cincinnati Miss Pol-
lard, in response to Mr. Carlisle’s request

- to identify the doctor, said:

“The same Dr. Belle C. Buchanan wht.
testified here in this court—who was swraet-
ness and kindness itself in those days.”

“Who furnishediyou money for your ex-
penses in Cincinnati and at the foundling
asylum ?”

“Colonel Breckinridge, of course.”

“Miss Pollard, who Was the father of the
child you bore on the 29th of May, 1885?”
was the next question.

“Mr. Breckinridge,” was the reply in a
clear voice.

“Did you at any time or place before you
met Mr. Breckinridge have intimate rela
tions with any man?”

“No, never.”

“Have you ever since you met Colonel
Breckinridge ?”

“No, never.” .

The word “never” was given in a rising
key, with all the intensity which the slen-
der woman could command.

The four volumes of Irving were handed
to Miss Pollard and recognized by her a:
the same she had been given by Rhodes as
a Christmas present, and which she had
presented to the convent.

“Did you ever,” asked Mr. Carlisle, “vis-

it the house of Sarah Guest with any other

man?”

“Why, certainly not. ,

In. the fall of 1887—Septcmber—Mr
Breckinrid e, Miss Pollard said, had taken
her to the lsmer'e, one of the most fash-
ionable boarding houses in the city, when
she had passed under the name of Mrs
Foster. A Kentuckian in the house, Colo
nel Sam Walter, hadrecognized Calorie.)

H

Breckinrldge and told Mrs. Hemanway,

another lady at the Elsmere, that Colonel
Breckinridge was not Mr. Foster, as he
had represented himself, so witness had
been obliged to leave after a few days.
Once when a note was in question At
torney Stoll asked Miss Pollsrd if she had
that note, to which she replied: “I pre-

The Famous Workbasket.

Some questions were asked concerning
the birth of Miss Pollard’s child in 1888,
when she was stopping at St. Ann’s asy-
lum in Washington, after which event, she
said, she had lived for two years in the
convent on Massachusetts avenue, which
isin the heart of the fashionable quarter oi
Washington, had been employed in the
government service and had met Colonel?
Breckinridge three or four times a week
during that period.

Continuing, Miss Pollard told of the
various places in W’ashington at which
she had boarded during the past four
years, all of them in eminently respect-
able and most of them in fashionable lo
calities.
ing put and answered Colonel Breakin-
ridge was chatting in a smiling way with
his lawyers. A large blue envelope was
recognized by the plaintifi as hearing the
handwriting of Colonel Breckinridge, and
after his attorneys had overhauled it it was
shown to contain tickets to the Colombian
exercises in New York.

The Workbasket which had been identi-
fied by the sister of Colonel Breckinridge’s
late wife as that lady’s property was next
produced, and of it Miss Pollard said.

“Colonel Breckinridge brought that to me
as he was leaving Washington in the
sprin . of 1893, after the adjournment of
con , saying: ‘I want you to have this,
Madeline. It was Lizzié‘s, and she thought
a great deal of it.’ ”

“What was your condition in the spring
of 1893?” Mr. Carliele asked.

After long hesitation the plaintifi re-
plied that she was about to become a moth-
er, but did not.

“Did Colonel Breckinridge ever admit to
any one in your presence that he was re-
lponsible for your condition?”

“Twice to Major Moore in his office and
to Dr. Lincoln.”

Then came the inevitable package of let—
ters, thick in dimensions, worn and faded,
many of them, and of course recognized by
the plaintiff as some of those she had re-
ceived from Colonel Breckinridge.

“These are all Colonel Breckinridge’s.
letters to me,” was her verdict, and of 12
telegrams next displayed, she declared,
after looking through them, while they
shock in her black cotton gloves, “Those
are Colonel Breckinridgc’s telegrams to
me.” ,

“At whose instance did you first use an

assumed name?” was one of Mr. Carlisle’s

questions to which the defense objected,
but after which Miss Pollard had replied,
“Colonel Breckinridge.”

Letters Read.

Telegrams from Colonel Breckinridge
dated at various places in Virginia in the
spring of 1893 expressing solicitation about
Miss l’ollard's health and urging her to
take care of herself and busy herself with
some work were read. Some of the letters
had already been read in court and were
repeated. _

During this time Colonel Breckinridge
had been making a political tour through
the south. \Vhen Mr. Carlisle asked about
a letter she had written about a sanitarium
to the colonel, Miss Pollard said:

“Colonel Breckinridge has it, and he can
bring it here.”

The attorney explained that notice to
produce the letter had been served inef-
fectually, and Miss Pollard replied in a
semihysterical tone: “How can I tell about
all these things, there was so much hap-
pening?” \Vhereat her lawyers quieted
her, telling her she need not try to remem-
ber it.

One letter dated in Lexington, Ky., early

in June, which was read, assured Miss

Pollard that Colonel Breckinridge, the
writer, was anxious to do the best for her;
that she alone could prevent it, and she
had nearly done so sevoral times.

Another, dated June 19, info ed her
that his tour would end in a to eye in
Pennsylvania, and that he would then
come to W'ashingtcn.

A telegram dated J one 21 informed her
that papers would be- sent by mail, cou-
cerning which Miss Pollard explained that
the colonel had always alluded to money
as papers, never mentioning it in letters as
money. -

,A letter dated June 23 told the Witness
that for her to come to Lexington would
result in, open scandal.

A ' patch early in June told her that
he w uld leave for \Vashington not later
than June 10. There were other immate-

rial letters and telegrams to Miss Pollard

at “The Farm,” where she was stepping
with Mrs. Blackburn, one of them refer-
ring to Major Moore, the chief of police, as
Professor Moore. ‘

Another piece of evidence was a copy, in
a scrawling Italian hand ‘of the style af-
fected by fashionable women, of a letter
written by Miss Pollard to the colonel. It
began, “My Dear Willie,” was, dated at
“The Farm. Charlottesville, Va,” but had
not been read when recess was announced.

Miss Pollard’s bosom was shaking with
suppressed sobs When she was led from. the
courtroom on the arm of the elderly sister
from the house of refuge.

After some more evidence, ex—Congress—
man Benjamin Butter-worth, the elderly
Quaker, with his paternal manner, began
to question the young woman about her
early life, particularly concerning her age.

Astor‘ In a. Swell London Club.

LONDON, March l7.—-—Mr. ‘Villiam Wal-
dorf Astor has been elected a member of
the Carlton club. The election of Mr. AB-
tor to membership of the club mentioned
caused much discussion. as the Carlton
club is the most exclusive of all the Lon—
don clubs. Its members are distinctly
aristocratic, and the qualifications for
membership up to the present have been
that the candidate must be an Englishman
and a Conservative.
