A Plan For Preventing a. New Sort of Pen-
Ilon Iqjdstlcc~Senatof Dawes of Massa-
chusetts Has Entirely Recov-
ered His Health.

WASHISGTOS; March 22.—The critical
condition of Senator Colquitt (Ga) was
the inspiration of the prayer of the senate
chaplain, Milburn, this morning. The
chaplain said: "Hearken to our earnest
cry, 0 Lord God, in Whose hands our
breath is. Hearken to our cry in behalf
of our beloved friend and brother, the sen-
ator from Georgia. Stretch forth thy
hand, 0 Lord, we implore thee and draw
him back to the duties and life of this
world, that he may once more take his
place in this chamber and rejoice the
hearts of all who know and love him.
Succor' and comfort his heartbroken wife
and children, and let thy loving'kindness
come to all who suffer, we humbly be-
seech thee.”

The vice president being absent, Mr.
Harris, the president pro tem., occupied
the chair, and the senate promptly settled
down to routine business, and a number of
bills were taken from the calendar and
passed, among them one for the relief of
the legal representatives of Chauncey M.
Lockwood and Royal M. Hubbard and one
for the relief of XVilliam M. Keightly and
,Horace A. \V. Tabor. '

Cleveland‘s .11: and Harrison’s.

Wasnmcros, M arch iii—More than one-
half of the whole number of presidential
postoflices have been filled by nominations
sent to the senate since the incoming of
the present administration. This fact is
brought out in a comparative statement
prepared at the postoffice department. It
is shown that the number of these ap-
pointments by the last administration
from March 4, 1889, to March 12, 1890, was
1,698. There were 32 presidential appoint-
ments made on March 13, 1890. The num-
ber made by this administration between
March 4, 1893, and March 13, 1894, was
1,720; The total number of presidential
postoflices in operation March 12 last was
3,424.

Figures of appointments of fourth class
postmasters for the former Cleveland ad-
ministration and the Harrison administra-
tion are given on the basis of 16 months, as
official statements then compiled covered
the fiscal year and the period from March
4 to July 1 of the first year of each admin—~
istration. For the 12 months of the pres-
ent administration the number of changes
in fourth class postmasters was 22,012. The
changes for the 16 months ending June 30,
1886, aggregated 20,881. For the first 16
months of the Harrison administration the
number was 24,645, and the monthly aver-
agebf appointments of both presidential
and fourth class postmaster-s during the
Harrison administration was 1,646 and for
the present administration 1,977.

. To Prevent Pension Frauds.

W’ASHINGTON, March 22. —The house com-
mittee on invalid pensions is devoting some
attention to a bill which makes it unlaw-
ful for any person to willfully communi-
cate, or cause to be communicated, to
United States officials performing duties
connected with pensions any false state-
mentwi intent to thereby defeat or sus-
pend the granting or payment of pension
to any pensioner or applicant. The bill
was introduced by Chairman Martin.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—Ex-Senator

dian Territory within a few days.

He Seeks to Ascribe the Blame For
the Scandal to Miss-Pollard.

PLAINTIFF’S CASE omen).

The Attorney For the Defense Gives Details
of the Argument of His Client—It
lel‘ers' Mater-lolly From
Miss Pollard's Story.

Wssmxcrdy, March 22,—;Coloncl Breck-
inridge and his right. hand man, Attorney
Ben Butter-worth, werezlate in arriving in
the circuit. court, not appearingnntil aft--
er, the roll call of jurors and .until after
Miss ‘ Pollard, with face very pale, but ap-
parently composed. had waited several
minutes in her seat. The gray heads of
the defendant and his. leading lawyer were
bent together in a brief consultation as
Miss Pollard walked around to the witness
stand. Her face showed lines of worry
and a sleepless night as she faced the au-
dienée for the fourth day. :‘

Then Mr. Butterworth began by inquir-
ing if Miss Pollard had the contract with
James Rhodes, to which she replied that
thefcontract had been given to Rhodes.
There never had been a settlement, but in
1885 she had given him a. note for three
times the amount he had‘ advanced for her
schooling. “I had never paid Mr. Rhodes,
because I never had any money to pay
anybody anything,” she said. Their cor.
respondence had continued after she came
to \Yashington.

Mrs. Dr. Mary Logan had not recognized
her when they first met in Cincinnati, but
had before they had parted. ' Miss Pollard
was going on to explain about that meet-
ing when Mr. Butterworth cautioned he?
that she must not wander from the sub-
ject, protesting that he was anxious to
treat her with perfect fairness.

“I. beg your pardon, Mr. Butterworth,"
she replied. “I know you treat me fairly
and I am very grateful. I am so full of
things Iwant to tell you that I can’t keep
them back often.”

There was a short little tilt between
Lawyers Butterworth and W'ilson over the
answering of questtons after this, which
Judge Bradley answered by declaring that
the witness was not obliged to answer a
question just in the form desired by the
examiner. -

Back to the autobiography in the Ne
York World came Mr. But-terworth. Ob
jection was made by Mr. \Vilson that it
had been thrashed over to weariness, and
the same opinion was held by the judge.

“IVhat was the fact about your adopt-
ing the name of Breckinridgc?" asked Mr
Butter-worth. '

“\Vhen I first used the name, Mr. Breck-
inridge and I talked it over. He said I
might use the name. and I had my card
plate made with it in 1889 or 1890,” was
the answer in explanation of the state—
ment in the newspaper article. “I am
very weary this morning and hardly able
to go. on.” Nevertheless the. plaintiff con-
tinned to be mistress of the situation, for
wlrenjshe had been asked about the trunk
she had at Dr. Street’s in Cincinnati dur-
ing her first confinement and Mr. Butter-
worth read from his manuscript he insist-
ed that she should give her undivided at
tention. Great stress has been laid by the
defense upon the description of this trunk,
which seems to be important to their case

, Plaintiff’s Case Closed.

“That’s all, Miss Pollard,” said Mr. But
terworth to the surprise of the court. The
plaintiff in black and Sister Ellis disap
peared through the side door, her attor
neys remarking that they had no ques-
tions for her. Then said Mr. Carlisle, “The
plaintiff rests her case here.”

The plaintiff had been under crossfire
for two days and more, during which ev'
ery phase of her case had been reviewed
from every light, but. her attorneys did
not censider it necessary to strengthen or
explain any of her statements by redirect
examination. They had in reserve other
witnesses and affidavits. but these they
did not use. There was a rust-le- of conver-
satiOn and documents. after w hit-1i Attor-
ney Butterworth asked for a few moments
for his side for consultation, and the de-
fendant, his son Desha and five attorneys
trooped out through the door by which
which Miss Pollard had made her exit.

“The delegation from Kentucky retires
for conference,” remarked a gentleman
who has attended political conventions.

The Breckinridge forces were in retire
ment 20 minutes.

Colonel J ohn T. Shelby, the Lexington
(Ky) law partner of Colonel Breckin-
ridge, 8. short, pale man, with“ light mus-
tache, partly bald head and spectacles;
faced the ‘ jury to outline _ the defense.

"\Vhile the case was technically one for

breach of promise, he said it included a
wider scope. “I am authorized by the de-

' fendant to say,” he said, “and it will be

corroborated by his solemn oath, that he
did not seduce her; that it never was made
known to him that she had ever had any
children by him until the filing of this.

suit last August, nor did he ever, under

any circumstances, nhke any promise of
marriage to her.

“The defense did not intend,” he said.
“to condone whatever was wrong in the
relations of the two, and it was only by
the truth the defendant wanted to be
judged.”

Outlining the Defense.

Outlining what would be the defense, be
related that Miss Pollard had accosted
Colonel Breckinridge on the train, before
which time he had never seen her; that he
had supposed he ought to knowher, hav-
ing reached that time of life when he was
forgetful of faces. She introduced her-
self; said her father was a. great admiral
of John C.‘ Breckinridge and had named
her after him. Several weeks after [the
letter asking advice as to her relations
with Rhodes had been received he had
answered it, telling her the legal aspects
of the contract, to which he had replied
fully. After that he reCeived the letter
the authenticity of which Miss Pollard had
denied, but which would be fully proved,
asking him to come to the seminary. He
had written that he could not come.

1She had written another letter, urging
him to. come to the Wesleyan college to ‘see
her, which he had declined to do. On the
lat of August, 1884 (Friday), he had been
in Cincinnati.‘ It occurred to him that he
had received the request to go to the Wes-
leyan college. Having nothing \else to do,
he went to the college that day andf saw
her. He saw not an ignorant country girl
unacquainted With the ways, of the world,

tablished it was that the plaintifl was at
least 20 or 21 years of age, and itwould be

birth of hernext youngest Sister in-1865,

'when the plaintiff was then a little. girl or

- 2 or 3 years of. age running about the house.

A Startling Statement.
“When the colonel arrived at the insti-
tution,” continued the attorney, “she
came into the parlor and saw him, ex;-
plained the contract with Mr. Rhodes,
which was that, in consideration of, his
paying for her schooling, she was to marry
him. She asked if he could compel her to
marry him, a strange question for an in-
nocent schoolgirl. and also told lrim‘that
she had submitted . her person to ‘Mr.
Rhodes. He told her that she. was not
obliged to carry out the contract. Then
she asked him to take her to an entertain
ment on Vine street, and he consented.” »

‘ That Colonel Breckinridge had called in
a. closed‘carriag‘e that night was-denied... It
was declared that Miss Pollard had made
the proposition that they ride instead of
going to the concert, and the lawyer said:
“In the course of the ride that light: and
without seductive means, but in that way
which occurs when a. woman is not averse
to such' things, an illicit relation was es!
tablished on the first night he had been
with her. She did not make any protesta-
tions. The ride was- not prolonged. He
did not take her to any assignation house
in Cincinnati the next day.”

It was denied that Colonel Breckinridge
had sent a telegram to Miss Pollard in the
name of her mother to 'go to Lexington,
but when he boarded the train that Fri-
dayhe found her on it. Without anyarti-
flees being exegcised on his part a meeting
had‘ been arranged, and she herself had
proposed that they should go to the house
of Sarah Guest, she explaining that she
knew the house. It was a matter or mu-

‘tual:arrangement, but instead of going,

there Friday night Colonel Breckinridgc
had been in Cincinnati Friday and had not
met her there until Saturday night.

It would be shown that Mr. Rhodes had
fallen behind in payment of her bills, be-
ing a man of small means, and the trans-
fer from \Vesleyan institute to Sayre acad
emy at Lexington had been made by ar-
rangement between herself and Mr.

“Rhodes, unknown to Colonel Breckin-
ridge until he met her one day on the street
in Lexington. The illicit relations at Lex-
ington continued, meetings being arranged
irregularly at Sarah’s, and in February,
1885, Miss Pollard had left unknown to

him. The statement that he had written

letters from Cincinnati to her mother
would be denied, and the statement that
she had given birth to a child in the found
ling asylum near Cincinnati would be dis-
proved by the testimony of Dr. Mary Lo
gan.

Her attempt to identify herself at the in-
stitution to the sisters had utterly failed.
The charges that she had made in the
newspapnrs that he had abandoned his
offspring. was without foundation. After
her return to Lexington next July Colonel
Breckinridge had made no attempt to re-
sume their relations, but in the fall of
that year (1885) he had been elected to
congress. '

One day in that month he was met by a
negro girl, with a note from her, and the
relations between them were resumed for
u. short time. From that December until
the following August he had been occupied
in Washington. In the spring of 1887, after
congress had adjourned, he returned to
Lexington, but his family was not there. '

He secured a. room at Miss Hoyt’s, where
Miss Pollard boarded, not taking his meals
there. He met her around the house as
he did others, but there was no suggestion
from either party that their relations
should be resumed. He saw the plaintiff
cpmparatively seldom and not, in an im-
proper way until the last half of the sum-
mer. Only because she came to his office
to see him were their relations resumed.

Shortly afterward Miss Pollard had come
to Washington, but not at his instance.
She told him she had talked with Senator
Beck about coming here. Senator Beckis
dead, and Mr. Shelby said that of course
he had not intended to intimate that there
were improper relations between them.

An Important Denial.

Colonel Breckinridge had endeavored to
persuade her from coming, but her remit:-
tances from Rhodes had been cut off, and
she thought she might obtain employment
here. There was a period of 18 months,
ending in July, 1887, during which there
were no illicit relations between them, so
that her statement that she had been de-
livered of a. child by him in February, 1888,
could not be true in the course of nature.

When Colonel Breckinridge returned to
Washington that winter, he had not of-
fered to resume their intimate relations,
but she had often come to him for help,
and on her representations that she was
pregnant by him he had assisted her, as
would happen in the state of human nature
throughout the course of time. She, was
making demands on him which he could
ill aflord to meet, but- he knew she had it
in her power to do him great injury, “and
a. man will purchase his security, his peace,
under almost any price.”

Under circumstances not to be condoned,
but under which many a man had done
wrong to himself and those nearest him,
the intimacy was renewed in'VVashin’gt'on.
She knew that she had him more or less in
her power. He attempted to introduce her
into no society here, but; he did not at.
tempt to break her down with the ac-
quaintances she had formed.

She made his life more or less a burden

by the course she pursued. .Colonel Breck-
imidge was not a man of means; he could
not afford to give up the money she forced
from him, but to save himself and his fam-
ily he yielded to her. She would follow,
him to his door, to the house of; representa-
tives.

He offered her money if she would go
away and. start a life for herself. She had
ability of a certain sort. He oflered time
after time to defray her expenses if she
would go awayfiand fit herself for work.
This unhappy life continued until his wife
died in July, 1892.
