I EVIDENCMMITTED. ’ Judge Permits Some of Defendant’s Depositions to Be Read. SEVERAL, WERE EXCLUDED. A Lecture on morality From the Bench. Evidence to Show That Brecklnridge Couldi'Not Have Been at the Guest House, as Alleged. WASHmGTOK, March 27.—-There was great interest today to learn the decision 'of Judge Bradley upon the admissibility of depositions impeaching the character of Madeline Pollard, which the Breckinridge' forces had offered and to which the plain- tiff opposed numerous objections. Regarding the sweeping denial of the right to take any depositions de bene esse, under the act of congress creating the court, the judge said that the judiciary, act of 1879 conferred the right in broad terms‘ upon any party to any civil act in any court of the United States. It could not be disputed that this was a court of the United States, and the fact that the court had always maintained that right would justify him in continuing to enforce it un- til a higher court overruled the practice. There Were other grounds upon which he Sustained the regularity of the deposi- tions as awhole. Objection had been made to the deposition of one Brand because he refused to answer certain questions con- cerning a woman who had introduced him to Miss Pollard. He said that he did not want to “give away” a married woman, then persisted that he did not know her name. The judge said that it appeared that, instead of refusing to answer, it- seem~ ed that the man did not know or was ly- ing. He continued, saying that while the direct examination of the witness had brought out nothing derogatory to the plaintifl“, he had refused to answer a ques- tion whether he had taken liberties with her while riding. What object he could have had in reins» ing to answer, if the answer Would have injured the plaintiff, the judge could not sec, since from his own testimony he was utterly lacking in moral sense, admitting that although a married man he was ac- customed to visit houses of ill fame. The judge overruled this objection, remarking that there was nothing reflecting upon Miss. Pollard in the testimony unless it was that she had consented to associate with such a disreputable character as the witness admitted himself to be. The deposition of one Kaufman was also admitted, but the judge spoke very sharp- ly of these last two, saying that they were utterly unfit to be read before a court; that he would gladly exclude them if he could, and expressed the hope that the counsel would see fit to omit the disgrace- fully obscene matter in them. ‘ He sustained the objections which had been made to the depositions of John O’Toole, Dr. Green and Dr. Lewis that they were based on hearsay. Dr. Lewis is the physician who testified that Colonel Swope, the late Republican candidate for congress in the Lexington district, had asked him to perform an abortion upon a Miss Pollard. ’ Important Depositions A dmlt-tcd. The depositions of a Mrs. Miller and of Rosseil, who had been engaged to Miss Pollard while she was in the \Vesleyan in— stitute, were admitted, the judge com- menting that the plaintiff had placed her character and her maturity in a measure in question by that clause of the declare. tion which averred that she had been se- duced, and that she was a mere girl when Colonel Breckinridge met her. Each side filed objections to the rulings against it. Then Judge Bradley made a few remarks in the interest of public mo~ rality ashc said: “The court has been dcl uged with anony- mous letters in this case,” he began. “It is said that any one who would write an anonymous letter should not expect to have any notice taken of them and would do almost anything mean. Some of these letters, however, seem to come from fe~ males and to be dictated by good motives.” Many of them referred to the publica- tion of details of the trial, and while the court could exercise no censorship over the press he suggested that papers should omit‘ the improper (let-ails,” he thought some of these details if published would subject the papers to exclusion from the mails as obscene matter. Moreover, it was almost a calamity to the city of \Vashing- ton and the country at large that such matter should be carried brOadcast into its homes. » These preliminaries having been finished, Attorney Stoll proceeded to read the dep— osition of Joseph C. Bailey, clerk of the Woodford county circuit court at Ver- saillcs, Ky. From the records of the court the clerk had testified that in 1884 there were indictments for murder against Ollie and R. P. Brown, and that Colonel Breck- inridge had been one of the defending at- torneys. It appeared that the trial was in progress on Aug. 5, the day upon which Miss Pollard had testified that the colonel took her to the house of Sarah Guest in Lexington, also on Aug. 12, 13 and 16. The cross examination of the clerk, read by young Attoiney Farrell of Lexington, developed the. further information that during this trial Colonel Breckinridge had frequently driven over from Lexington, returning at night and sometimes bring~ ing his wife. He had attended the whole trial of Ollie Brown, thhough some of the lawyers had not. One of the Lexington lawyers, Edward M. \Vallace, who had been associated with Colonel Breckinridge in the defense of Cl- lie D. Brown, had deposed that the colonel was present throughout the trial, arguing the case and examining the witnesses, and his statement was read. Next came the deposition of Judge Rodney Hagart, who had been associated wan Colonel Breakin- rldge as counsel for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in cases tried in August, 1884. The deposition Of J udgo Jerry R. Morn ton, to prove . that the defgndant was in Jessamine count-y, Ky, Irom Aug. 27 to Aug. 30, 1884, was read, and the cross ex: amination showed that the town was an hour and a quarter by railroad from Lex~ ington. Judge Joseph D. Hunt’s affidavit cor- roborated that of Mr. Hagart, and Theo Davis, clerk of the court, deposed that Colonel Bréckinridge had voted in Lexing- ton Aug. 4, 1884, and ‘V. S. Marsh corrobo- rated his testimony. Nat L. Laugh, 'a lawyer, added his testi- mony that Colonel Breckinridge had been engaged in the Jessamine county court from Aug. 27 to 30, 1884. but couldn’t say Where no (Colonel Breckinridge) had pass. ed his nights during that time. * A Fortunate 84 Episode. Josepn Skain, proprietor of the Claren- don hotel in Lexington, deposed that Col- onel Brcckinridge and members of his family had stopped at the Phoenix hotel, as it was then called, in 1887. Incidental- ly the hotel man recalled an argument in which Colonel Breckiuridge had made the accusation that he was being gouged out of 3.4, and the recollection of the-contro- versy caused the congressman‘s shoulders to shake with laughter. . After the noon recess a deposition was read by James A. Ely, once clerk of the circuit court of Fayette county, who re- membered that Colonel Breckinridge had been engaged in a case on Nov. 22, 23 and 24, 1887, and at the unveiling of. a statue of John C. Breckinridge at Lexington on Sept. 16, 1887. . The deposition of Sister Marie H yacinthe, who was 74 years old and said that her memory was very bad, showed that she could not remember that Madeline Pollard had attended the Notre Dame convent at Reading, 0., of which the sister had been superior in 1883. SAYS CORBETT DIUST FIGHT. Jacksim’s Backer Puts Up More Money ano Says He Means Business. CHICAGO, March 2?‘.——-“Parson” Davies, Peter Jackson’s manager and backer, ar- rived in Chicago yesterday. Today be de- posited $2,000, his second installment in the Corbett-Jackson match, in the hands Oi \Vill J. Davis at the Columbia theater, an. he expects that the Corbett people will dc the same. Speaking of the match, the person said: “I don’t think that Corbett is anxious tc fight Peter. I don’t say that he is afraid of him, mind you, but I am thoroughly convinced that he does not want to fight. Now, I don’t intend to leave any Obstacle in the way that can possibly be removed, and if the match falls through Corbett will not have any excuse to lay the blame at our door. This thing of wrapping him- self up in the stars and stripes is all pOp- pycock. Corbett cannot shield himselu, with this patriotic buncombe.” “Supposing circumstances will not ad mit of'his fighting in June?” “Then Peter will fight him in July 01 August.” “Supposing’he does not consent to that?” “Well, myplans are all laid and will b. carried out to the letter. Corbett and Bra dy are going to England next month. We will follow them on the next boat. Over there we will make him fight or crawl.” She Was Frozen to Death. VALPABAISO, Ind., March 27.—Lizette Brewer, aged 16, left home Friday even- ing for a walk and failed to return. A search was instituted, which proved fruit- less. This morning her body was found about five miles in the country. It is thought that she lost her way, had wan- dered about until exhausted, when she sought shelter in an old building and was frozen to death. Victory For the Sugar Trust. PHILADELPHIA, March 27,—Judge Butler in the United States supreme court today decided that the Sugar trust did not act contrary to the law when it absorbed the Philadelphia sugar refineries.

Bis Immediate Family and His Colleagues W'ere About Him. WASHINGTON, March 27.——Senator Col- quitt of Georgia, who was stricken with paralysis for the second time about a week ago, died at his residence in this city to- day. The senator’s condition, which had been regarded as some- what. hopeful at midnight, chang- ed for the worse soon afterward, and his colleague, Senator Gordon, was sent for and arrived about 2 a. m., bringing his daughter with 1 him. Mrs. 001- ’I' quitt and the dy- :lng senator’s chil- dren, his son, three unmarried daugh- SENATOR COLQUITT. tors and a married daughter, Mrs. Mar- shall of Chicago, were round the bedside when the end came. There were also in attendance his nephew, Mr. Bunn,.and his private secretary. ' Unconsciousness set in some hours be- fore death, and the senator’s end was ap. parently painless. ‘ Alfred Holt Colquitt was born in Wal- ’ton county, Ga, April 20, 1824. . He was graduated at Princeton in 1844, Studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1845. He served during the Mexican Warns a _ stat! officer with the rank of major. In 1852 he was elected to congress as a Demo- crat, serving one term. He was a member of the legislature in 1859, and a presidential elector in 1860 on the Breckinridge ticket. He was a mem- berof the secession convention of Georgia and entered the Confederate army as cap- tain. Later he was chosen colonel of the Sixth Georgia infantry, promoted a brigsr dier general, and after serving sometime in that grade was commissioned a major general. In 1876 he was elected governor of Geor- gia for four years, at the expiration of which term he was reelected for two years under the new constitution. He Was then elected to the United States senate and re- elected in 1388. Senator Colquitt was a distinguished son of ’a distinguished father—the latter being a lawyer of eminence, a. soldier and a. mem— her of both branches of the national legis— lature from Georgia. The funeral will take place in the senate chamber at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning and will probably be conducted .by Rev. \V. H. Milburn, chaplain of the senate. He is at present absent from the city, but he has been telegraphed fdr and will probably arrive in time to Officiate. . Visit, guru-rel, Stab. Arrest. BROOKLYN, March 27,—Duriug a quar- rel at the residence of Augustus J. Tra- vant Joseph \V. Crohn was painfully stabbed in the shoulder by Travant, who was arrested.
