II did it to cover up suspicion. If

the money, for Mr.. Breckinridge would
have supplied all I needed. Every
letter bears the mark of what say"
At the afternoon session, when Major
Butterworth asked Miss Pollard If her
mother knew why she was staying in
Cincinnati, Miss Pollard answered that
there was very good reason why her
presence in Cincinnati should be kept
secret. There were two or three stories
involved" she said frankly. II will
tell what they were if you wish"
Miss Pollard said Colonel Breckin-
ridge had written letters on the type

and Major Butterworth began to ques-
ton her about her acquaintance with

Miss Pollard under her charge as his af-

noon session OF the Pollard Breckin.

means, but the afternoon proceedings
developed succession of tempestuols
and sensational incidents from the time
the court reconvened after the recess
until it adjourned at o'clock, with
Miss Pollard weeping for her Children,
her head bowed on the rail of the Wit
ness box.
Questions by Major Butterworth AZ to
her relations with Colonel Breckinrilge
after his secret marriage brought out
words OF scosn and accusation against
the defendant. He WAS charged With
having maligned his present wife, Tor
merly Mrs. Wing; with swearing love
and devotion for Miss Pollard three
weeks after this secret marriage, when
she was in ignorance of it, and with
citing the part of the deceiver in every
ssible way.

This reply was made quickly and in a
matter of fact tone. Then Judge Will
son asked if the defense admitted the
marriage on April 90.
Major Butterworth admitted it, and
made the first formal announcement of
the ceremony.
that since the marriage Of the defend
ant on April 90 was admitted, ANYTHING
that happened subsequent to that date
was not competent evidence.
After some rapid interchange of re-
marks, in which Miss Pollard made
many interruptions trying to tell the
story OF the scene in the Hoffman House
in her own way, she finally managed to
tell it. Mr.. breckenridge, she said, had
lined her the Sunday night of his

BROOKLYN NEWS.
THEY OBJECT TO CLANCY.
The New Policeman IL nm ex-Brit-
ish Soldier.

LONG ISLAND CITY. l.. l., May A.
The dissatisfaction which has prevaile I'd
among the policemen of this city is in
creasing. 1t began when Detective Chris
TOPPER White was reduced to patrol duty
for capturing the Cord Meyer masked
burglars, AID Court Officer Peter Kelly
made detective for arresting an innocent
batch ot men who he said we're the
real culpr'ts." Fuel was added to the
fire yesterday. when Mayor Sanford ap-
pointed Ambrose Clancy, of Blissville, a
patrolman and assigned him to duty in
the Second Precinct.
Clancy's appointment has given special
offense to a section Of Irish Nationalist
and to Alderman Joseph Cassidy, of the
Second Ward. Previous to his appoint
rnent, the new policeman was employed
as a grave-d'gger In Calvary Cemetery.
and took sides with the Kavanagh De-
mocracy against Cassidy. at the last
election.
The Irish opposition to Clancy's APP
pointment on the police force, Is based
on the fact that he served a number
Of years as a private In an English In
fantry regiment.
His appointment is also said to be a
violation of Civil Service rules, mas
much as he Is fifty years OF age.
Clancy admits having served In the
Queens army, but says he Is only
thirty-four years old. He says jealousy
Is the true reason for the opposition to
him.
