WasnrxorON, April 16.4119. foreman,
Charles R. Cole, of the circuit court jury at
4:45 o’clock Saturday afternoon announced
a verdict. for the plaintiff, Madeline Pol-
lard, for $15,000- damages from Congress
man “7. C. P. Breckinridge for breaking
his contract to marry her, thus ending the
long ,nnd exciting VBreckinridge-Pollard
breach" of promise trial. The jury was
nearly'unanimous in its conclusion upon
the merits or the case, only one juror lean-
ing toward the defendant. Ninety min-
utes were consumed in coming to an agree-
ment hpon the amount of damages to be
awarded, and 15 ballots were taken in-this
time, each ballot bringing the jurors near-
er an amount to which all would agree.

Sensations had fairly crowded into the
last day of the trial. There had been somé
of the most dramatic scenes which ever
stirred the dingy little courtroom, reeking
as it was with the memories of celebrated
cases. There was an approach to a. person.
31 collision between Judge Jere ”Wilson

and Attorney Charles H. Stoll during the _

magnificent closing argument of the \Vash-

Stoll was cognizant of forged evidence (the

\Vessie Brown letter) introduced by the .
This was followed by talk of a f

defense.
du'el, and Judge Bradley, in his charge to

a lawyer is seldom spoken of in court,

“hen the case was given to the jury. the 1

12 men filed out of the courtroom, follow-
ed by nearly all of the spectators and the
parties to the case. The gray haired de-
fendant retired to the marshal’s office
across the hall, where he was surrounded
by his son and all his counselors except
- his-law partner, Mr. Shelby, who had re.
turned to Kentucky two days ago.
Attorneys Calderon Carlisle and Jere
lVilson Walked across the street to the
office of the former in the third story of a
tall, brick building, where Madeline Pol-
laid and her faithful companion, Mrs. El-_

“3’ were spending the Tiifllflalt the :men of the jury, step into the marshal’s

verdict.
In the Juryroom. _

‘Mcantime two uniformed bailiffs sat out-
side the door of the upper'room in which
the '12 men, upon whom rested the respon-
sibilities of the ease, Were confined. Their
first business was the election of afore-
man. The choice naturally fell upon the
oldest of their number. Mr. Charles R.
Odie, ”an insurance agent well known to
“fashingtonians. a man not for past mid-
dle age, with red cheeks and ayellow mus-
tache, who had sat in the front row of the
jury ‘box leaning forward to listen with
marked and unflagging attention to every
step of the proceedings. .

The first ballot taken was upon the mer-
its of the case, leaving out of consideration
the question of the amount of damages. It
resulted in 11 votes for a ,verdict in favor
of the plaintiff and one vote for the defend-
ant. Thereupon the dissenting gentleman
was figuratively cornered by his col-
leagues and'for some time was argued at.
In speaking of’this discussion afterward,
Foreman Cole said that the jurymen dis-
played fully as great a familiarity .with
the points of the testimony as had been
evidenced by the lawyers in their argu-
ments. They laid the case fully before the
obduratejuryman, called for the grounds
on which be based his belief and were
finally able to overcome him by sheer force
of logic.

The next question to be settled was the
figure at which the damages should be
rated, and upon this matter there was the
widest possible difference. Two or three
jurors thought the full amount sued for,
$50,000, should be awarded. Foreman Cole
said that a verdict for $31 would vindicate
Miss Pollard and punish Mr. Breckinridge
sufficiently, and he thought it was unneces-
sary to impose any great financial punish-
ment upon him.

Fixing the Damages.

Discussion of this matter followed until
the usual course was adopted,.each' juror
writing the amount he considered just
upon a. slip of paper and a balance being
struck. The amounts ranged from $1 "to
550,000, and $15,000 was the average. Fif—
teen ballots were taken before the final re-

business and sealing the verdict the jurors
agreed not to divulge the ' secrets of the
juryroom. Consequently they were not
at liberty to reveal the identity of Colonel
Breckinridge’s solitary. friend.

Just before the final'vote J udgeBradley :

man lirecmnrmgc. surveying the‘ room for
an instant before he entered. Following,
him came his son, Desha Breckinridge}
Colonel Phil Thompson and AttorneylV,

A. McKenzie, the partnerof Colonel-Enoch
Totten, originally the counsel in the case,

who has played a silent part in the suit.

Colonel Breckinridge took his usual chair,
with Colonel Thompson and his son at

either side.

- “Gentlemen of: the jury will answer to

names as called. '

“Charles R. Cole,” shouted the clerk of
the court in the usual incoherent jumble.
Then he noticed that no one was there to
represent the plaintiii; and called the fact.
to the attention of j e‘: judge, who .imme-
diately dispatchéd a bailiff across the
street. Then followed five minutes of op-
pressive silence. Hardly a whisper was to
be heard. Then entered‘the aristocratic
Mr. Calderon (.‘arlisle’, puffing from the
violence of his journey, fall hat and silver
headed cane in. build. That cane, it was
observed, had a head with which an. ox
might be felled. Mr. Carlisle’ came alone
and sank into a. seat.

Then Judge Bradley stretched out his.
hand warningly to say, “When this verdict
is announced, for I am informed that a

 

verdict has been agreed upon. there must.

be no demonstration either of. approval or
disapproval.”

_ The clerk called the roll of the jury and ,
then grumbled loudly an interrogatory,'

which, being interpreted, was, “Gentlemen

-of the jury, have you agreed upon your

verdict?”
The Verdict Announced.»

“\Ve have,” responded Foreman Cole,
rising and thrusting out his cherished
blue envelope. “\Ve find for the plaintiff.”

, An inarticulate murmur started, which
the bailiffs quickly hushed. It was merely
a mixture of vocal sound and crowding
which expressed no particular sentiment
except surprise.

Finally the judge how

asked, “For

. -, much?”
ington lawyer, in which he intimated that 1

“Fifteen thousand dollars,” announced
the foreman of the jury.

Another rustle like the. first arose, but , ‘
- present in my office when her father an-

was speedily. quenched. One man near a
window shout-ed to the crowd outside,

, “Fifteen thousand dollars for the plain-

tbe jury, scored Colonel Phil Thompson a:- 11 tiff,” but he was not reprimanded.

Colonel Breckinridge rose slowly to his
feet, and all eyes were turned upon him.

' All those who saw his face say it was near-

ly white as his,beard, but his voice was
clear as usual when he spoke in a hesitat-
ing way, saying. "I do not know the prao
tice of this court, but I wish to give the
usual notice of a motion for a new trial."
He dropped into a seat beside his son hard:
ly less pale than himself.

J udgc Bradley thanked the jurors in the
stereotyped formula for their attention
and services in the case. The clerk yelled
like the wnrwhoop of an Indian above the
rush ofthc crowd for the door, “Gentle.

office and draw your fees.”

Nobody waited to hear the formal ad-
journment. The jurors filed out. Colonel
Brecki’nridge pulled his slouch hat ovei
his eyes and followed after them, with his
son in his wake, elbowingr their way across
the hall to the marshal’s office. The jurors
were just ahead of him in the outer office
and he pressed through them to the green
baise door before the private oflicc. There
was no handshaking in congratulation of
sympathy between the colonel and any

one else.
Miss Pollard Hears It.

\Vhere was Madeline Pollard? Thai
question was heard on every hand. Made-
line Pollard had been peering across from
a window in the tall building opposite,
pressing her face against a pane m'ost oi
the afternoon. She was exceedingly nerv.
ous, but not at all 'hysterical, hcrcounscl
said afterward. \Vhen the messenger
broke into the room with the news of the
verdict, she burst into tears. womanlike,
exclaiming, “()h, isn’t it good! Isn’t it
g00( !" Attorney Carlislc's outer office
was soon filled with newspaper men, but
the plaintiff‘s rem‘cscnfafivcs said that she
did not care to :z'y anything, as she was
in a mgst nervous state. _

“Moreover," Mr. \Vilsou added, “it is.
her desire to efi‘ace herself from the public
eye entirely after this trial. Naturally we
are greatly pleased with the verdict. That
is about all we can say, I guess. Our cause
was just, and our hearts were in it.” Aft-
erward, in conversation, he remarked that
his sympathies were all with the present
wife of Colonel Breckinridgc. and said that
he and Mr. Carlisle had avoided references
to her in the case asmuch as possible.

Judge \Vilson and Mr. Carlisle stepped
into the inner oflice to shake hands with
their client before they left. and as she
was seen through the open door she was
smiling, as she. had not been seen to smile
since the beginning of the trial. She shook

 

hands with her attorneys and thanked

them in profuse terms for their work. The
sidewalk in front of the ofllce was block

to congratulate them as they stepped in

had sent a messenger to inquire if there ;

was any probability that a verdict would
be agreed upon soon. Receiving the reply
that the jury was about to conclude its
deliberations, he entered the courtroom.
His entrance of course was the signal for
a gathering of the crowd. They flocked
into the courtroom from the sidewalks,
steps and corridors—lawyers, congressmen
and friends of the defendant, but not a
woman’s face was seen in the court. The
room fairly bristled' with blue coated
bailiffs, for rumors of impending trouble
had floated about all day, and there were
geveral detectives in the crowd,

The hands of the clock stood at 3.5 min:
utes after 4 when the jurors in single file
entered at the little door to the right of
the judge's desk. Every one saw at once
that they'brought a verdict and had not
returned for instructions, as is often a
disappointing habit ‘with juries, because
they ’carried their coats and hats. Mr.
Cole took .the chair nearest the judge,
clasping tightly in both hands as though
he feared it might escape from him a for-
midable looking blue envelope.

Miss Pollard Secluded}

Both Mr. \Vilson and Mr. Carlisle are
immensely popular in \Vashington and
have the highest position in the profession.
Their identification with the case from the
first has given it a standing which other-
wise it might not have secured. People
said that they must have been impressed
with the justice of the case or they would
not have taken it. since they were beyond
the temptation of pecuniary advancement
from it, and their practice is not of a char-
acter to be advanced by their identification
with such a suit.

Many women were in, the great crowd
which hung around outside the court.
house, waiting curiously for a. sight of the
woman in the case. Miss Pollard elected
to remain in seclusion until her admirers

had dispersed, but they were repaid for .
their pains, or seemed to think they were, ,
by the appearance of the defendant. The ,

jurors as they came out to the street were

congratulated warmly by man y'strangers. .
Colonel Breckinridge passed by them,walk- .

ing with M ajor Butter-worth, who had ar-
rived too late to hear the verdict, and, Mr.
Stoll.

“I do not care to say anything,” Colonel
Breckinridge replied to a question as to
Whether he cared to comment on the ver-
dict. VVith bowed head and rather deject-
ed he walked through the park around the
courthouse and down town to Major But‘

terworfh’s ofl‘nn in the heart of the city. :

’l‘here'the m-went Mrs. Bl‘cckinridg‘e Was
wailing for (hour.

t

A Loyal \Vife. -

' A‘Th'fere had been a story in local papers of. ,
a. rumored estrangement between the 0019;, “

nel and hiswifeon account of his suit, and
as if to disprove the rumor_Mrs. Breckin-
ridge and another lady said to be the. edit;-
nel’s daughter had driven to the court-
house during the noon recess‘andhad held
a. conversation with him, in front of the
building. From Major Butterworth’s of-
flce Colonel and'_}lz‘-_§. Breckinridgc drove
in, this open carriage about 5:30 down F
street, the most crowded street of the city,

where they were seen by many curious

eyes, and thence down the fashionable ave—
nues to their residence: They chatted to
all' appearances as light heartcdly as‘
though nothing unusual had occurred.

Colonel Breckiuridge and his attorneys
have not yet fully determined their future
course, but probably will do so in a few
days. , Colonel Shelby is expected to return
from Kentucky in the early part of the
reek, nude. conference of the counsel will
then be held. The case will be taken to
the court :of appeals of the district,,from
which the only appeal is the United States
supreme court.

Major Butterworth, who conducted the
defense, attributes the verdict for dam—
ages to, general lack of knowledge of what
heterms the “true inwardness of the case.”
He said: “The result is of course a disap-
pointment, and I am apprehensive that
the strong outside opinion has had some—
thing to do with the verdict. The jury
would be something more or less than
human if they had not been influenced to
some extent by the public opinion mani-
fest in the atmosphere about them.

\Vill Fight to 3 Finish.

“I am greatly surprised to see published
statements that strained feeling exists be-
Mrs. Breckinridge and her husband. The
stories have not the slightest foundation.
Mrs. Breckinridge through all this trying
controversy has been unswerving in her
faith in her husband and stood by him
most loyally and devotedly. The unsel-
fish devotion and filial love of his daughter
is certainly most praiscworthy. She was
constantly at her father’s side and was

nounced the verdict. Naturally she showed
some feeling, but her devotion has not
wavered in the least. What our future
course will be has not all been fixed. The
case, however, will be fought to a finish
along every available and proper line.”

Feeling is rather bitter between some oi
the attorneys on opposite sides of the case,
which has been intensified by numerous
occurrences, and reached its climax in the
passage between Mr. \Vilsou and Mr. Stoll
in court when the latter thought that his
opponent had accused him of complicity
in the forgery of a letter. The scene was
a most dramatic one when Mr. \Vilson,
who, although a tall man, weighs hardly
100 pounds and most of that bruins, as
some one remarked, confronted his oppo-
nent.

It is said that he would not have been as
pointed as he was but for the course taken
by Mr. $1011 in his examination of the sis-
ters at the Norwood convent when, ac-
cording to M r. \l'ilson, he endeavored to
show that the Christ mas card had beet
placed in i he volu me of \‘i'ushingtou Irvin g
by Attorney C‘irlislc Din-kitorney Johnson
People are talking of the wonderful nerve
be displayed in continuing his argument
without the slightest perceptible trace of
nervousness through the most exciting in
terruptions.

Madeline Pollard.

\Vhat will be the future of Madeline is
a question quite generally asked. So far
as society is concerned no one questions
the assertion of Major Bu ttcrworth that
in pulling down the temple of his fame
over the cars of Colonel Breckinridgc she
played the part of Samson, burying herself
in the ruins. She has said that she intends.
to devote the remainder of her life to re-
ligious work. particularly to the assistance '
of outcast woman.

thethcr she will have moral courage
sufficient to resist the tempting offers of
large financial gain from theatrical man-
agers who want her to appear on the stage
or publishers who are holding out induce
mcnts forthc story of her life is a subject
of discussion.

That she will not be financially bottcrcd
by the result of her case is probable be-
cause it is well understood and has been
said in trial that Colonel Breckinridgchas
no property. He has lived up to his income
for years, and although his wii'elias money
it does not seem likely that she will carc-
to xpend it to satisfy this judgment.

 

BRECKI NRIDGE INTERVIE‘VED.

 

He \Vill Fight, In the Courts and In His
Congressional District.

“'ASIIIXGTOX, April 10. — Your corre-
spondent had an interview with Colonel
Breckinridge at his home after the flush of
excitement attendant on the close of the
trial had had time to pass away, and the
colonel had a little time to think about
the case. ' M r. Breckinridgc said:

I don‘t intend to let the litigation end here.
Immediately-after the verdict was rendered 1
gave notice that I would move for anew trial.
If the motion is denied, as I apprehend it will
be,,I will proscculc an app-cal and exhaust every
legal remedy nil’ordod me by law. I confess the
verdict was unexpected. I appreciated the
power of the press in the creation of a public
demand for a verdict. against me. which 1111-
consciously the jury fell and were influenced by.

I also appreciate certain periured testimony
which had been skillfully fabricated and which
we wore not prepared to meet and could not
expose in the time allowed by the trial. I have
no fear of the ultimate result. The plaintiff
and I will each live our respective lives. The
public will become more familiar with the
facts, and the final judgment I will not fear to
meet.

As to the speech of Judge “'ilson, I think I
can characterize it as an utterly unconscious
and dishonorable argument. He took advan-
tage of the privilege of having the last utter-
ance to make false statements and other slan-
derous charges.

The verdict has not weakened the ties that
bind my wife and children to me nor impaired
the friendship felt for me by my friends. 1
have announced to my friends that I would
continue to be a candidate for congress, which I
declared myself immediately after the filing of
the suit, until the nomination is settled by the
regular prescribed mode.

The suit and verdict do not end my career.
There will be open to me avenues of profitable
employment. Bfiv renomination will simply
mean a declaration of the people among whom
I have livednll my life and who know me bet-
ter than other people do that they are willing
to trust me as their representative in congress.
I shall as soon as possible return to Kentucky
and make an active canvass of my district for

Just a word or two about this
department ; Many wonder how it
is we sell this sort of ware 130 cheap
and the remark has often been heafd,

Instead of using our basement as.

have made it a. practical department
at little or no cost, buying close for
cash and selling for .cash. That’s
how we do it.
