BRECKINRIDGE TRIAL.

The Judge DID Rot See II That

| AS0uAAsVnS'
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The pros.
pect of hearing Miss Madeline Pollard S
side of the story in her suit against Con,
gresham Breckenridge Of Kentucky for
breach Of promise had the effect this
morning of materially augmenting the
crowd Of people who have endeayored
daily since the trial began to gain admit
tance to the court room. Miss Pollard's
excited behavior Friday had whetted the
appctites of lovers of sensational testi.
mony, but under the ruling OF Judge
Bradley, persons having no interest in
the case, either professionally or as wit
nesses, were not allowed to the court
room.
This restriction was not strictly car
ried out, for. while they were able to repel
the persuasion of men, the court servants
could not resist the inlportunities of the
gentler sex. Fourteen women, young
and old, we're the objects of special at
tention in the court room this morning
when members OF the bar began filing
in. The women spectators sat to the left
Of the presiding Judge. Four Of them were
young and pretty girls who laughed and
chatted gaily.
Miss Pollard entered the court room
at 10 O'Clock attended by Miss Ellis of
the Episcopal Home of Mercy and the
lady friend from Cincinnati who sat be-
side her throughout fridays hearing.
Miss Pollard said good morning" to
her counsel and laughed at something
Judge Wilson said. But the smile died
on her face as the man whom she is
prosecuting entered the room, directly
within her line OF vision. Miss Pollard
soon recovered herself, however. and
went on chatting with Judge Wilson.
Breckenridge took seat almost be.
hind and about six feet from Miss Pol.
lard. The IA women were by direction
of the court requested to leave the room.
They looked surprised, and filed out
shamefacedly.
Calderon Carlisle opened the proceed
ings by stating that there was prelimin-
ary matter that should be cleared up
at once. He referred to the production
of four volumes of Washington Irving,
over which there was mysterious spar
ring between the opposing counsel Fri
day. Judge Bradley said that the books
were evidently part of the deposition OF
Sister Augustine of Cincinnati. and as
such were subject to inspection by both
sides, just as any other dcpositions
could be inspected. Major Butterworth
made further argument in favor of
keeping the books scaled, but Judge
Bradley dismissed the question with the
tcrse statement, 1.-THE order Of the court
will stand"
The first witness was a, young man
named Coudert De La Roche Francis,
who testified that he met Miss Pollard
at No. 1917 H street this CITY. lie called
there frequently and met Col. Breckin-
ridge there. Miss Pollard told him OF
her engagement to Breckenridge and on
one occasion he overheard conversa-
tion between Miss Pollard and Breckin.

knew OF their engagement. She told him
she had told the witness of it.
