Bowers, all colored, We're convicted last
July of arson-burning the dwelling of j.

clrcumstantial evidence and their own
confessions. In the case of Green an ap-
peal was taken and the sentence sus-
pended. The men, since their conviction,
claimed that the confessions were eXtOrted
and that they We're innocent, but not
afraid to die. An intelligent jury passed
upon the question of their innocence or

doubt of guilt
John Ferguson cut his wife's throat on
a Sabbath day in March last. lie was
twenty-four years old. An effort was
made to show that he was an epileptic and
that he killed the woman in fit of emo
tional insanity from jealousy. A petition
signed by strong and influential citizens
who had doubts as to his responsibility
was sent to the governor. The presiding
judge and the solicitor reported unlavora-
bly, thereon. While the hurricane wildly
ragged last Sunday he sat as calm as
May morning in his cell reading a Bible.

being put on the trap persisted that they

he deserved death for killing his wife. but

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. l3-Congress.
man breckenridge has written leA&ya
to his friends in Lexington In WHICH
he outlines his plans OF defense
against Miss Madeline Pollard's suit.
In letter to one of his most intimate
associates Mr.. Breckinridge etateer
that he will deny the truth OF the
1jfaff.tiff's charge that an engagement
ever existed between the two, or was
ever discussed, or even limited at. by
either. The defendant will deny that
he ever stated that he was engaged to
Miss Pollard or introduced her as his
| tiancee.
Colonel Breckenridge denounced as
false tho statement that he introduced
Miss Pollard into Washington society,
or was In any way responsible for the
| imposition tho gay kentucky girl
practiced on the Washington 400. As
| to the charge that he is the cause OF
the wayward girls downfall, a HAT de,
NAL will be recorded under oath.
CONFESSED THAT ANOTHER wRoNGED HER.
1t is also said that Colonel Brecl1in.
ridge will propose to prove that Miss
Pollard confessed to him that she had
been betrayed by James Rodes, and
avowed her intention of leading the
life which she had pursued. Rodes
paid her tuition at Sayre Institute, and
called as frequently as he was permit
ted to SEQ her at Mrs, ketchum's. She
would never permit him to stay longer
| than , o'clock. and when he would call
would always entertain him in the par.

t present. She hated Rodes anu caliso
| hun IN "old fool"
She got position while at Mrs. Ket.
chum's at the Gazette" Office, after
which she notified Rodes that she
would not receive his attentions any
longer.
1t is reported in Lexington that Miss
! Pollard intends to enter tho theatrical
/ profession after the trial comes OFF.
/ and will interpret only romantic roles
and that a dramatlstis already at work
on play for her.
According to Colonel Breekinridge,

entirely different from the stories in
