defendant met her here at the station, kiss
ed her, took her a carriage tide, or in any
way promised to marry her. She did net
return here at that time at all. in the fall
of 1872 Mr.. Breckinridese met her IN New
York and she approached him there and
told him she had an opportunity Of going
with Miss Wilson to school IN Berlin. The
expense would be Sl,JoJ year and she
proposed that she should 50 ms aill-

end of two years he should marry her.
That proposition was absolutely refused
by Col Breckinridge, but he diu ofer II
she would 80 abroad and stay, he would
pay her $l25 a sum he could little afford
But his desire to break the connection she
had established with him induced him to
make the offer. He desired her to ut her
self for some proper life. She ilatly re
fused this offer, or to go, unless she could
state to Miss Wilson that she went as his
affianced wife. Whatever else Col. Breck-
inridge, under the stress of circumstances,
was willing to do, that was step he would
not take She came back to Washington,
and during the course of that winter-the
winter of 1S92-'93-their improper relations
were resumed. Mr.. Shelby referred to Mrs.
Mnear's testimony, that on several occa-
sions, when Miss Pollard and Col. Breck-
inridge returned to her house, Miss Pollard
told her she had been to Col. Breckinridge's $
I house to dinner. At that time Col. Breck-
inridge's family was not here. and he had
no house to take her to. Never at any
time did he take her to his house. From
that time the pressure brought by Miss Pol
lard on the defendant was enormous. She
had become acquainted with Mrs. Bia aclI7

Blackburn by Mrs. Filette. She had Of

The Reported EngaGcmcnt.
There was some talk. owing to the plain
tiffs imprudent conduct, which led Mrs
Blackburn to question why she was seen so
much with Col. Rrcckinridge. At that
time, during the month of March. she told
Col Breckinridge that she had informed
Mrs. Blackburn that she was engaged to
him. Col. BreckinVidge thercupon declared
his purpose Of going to Mrs. blackburn and
denouncing this as fa.sehood and let
whatever scandal there was In the matter
come out. She implored him not to do
thai; to give her chance to make some
thing of herself; 70 give her one more
chance. She proposed to him that he should
himself admit to Mrs. Blackburn the ex-
isterce of an engagement; that If he would
do so she would leave him and so to New
York; that she would gradually die out of
his life: that without any exposure she
would make something of heryelf; that the
engagement could gradually be broken !;
that she could by degrees draw away from
Mrs. Blackburn; that in this way she could
get out of his life, out of Mrs. Blackburn's 9
life and out of the city Of Washington. He

Mr.. Shelby then gave an account of an
interview Miss Pollard sought with Col
Breckenridge on the 18th of May, when
she forced her way into the presence of

her then upon the street and talked with
her. He made up his mind there and then

STOLE $4OO WORTH.
How The Interstate Road
Was Robbed.
BOLD CAPTURE OF CROOKS.
They Awake and Look Into the Muz-
zles OF Two Revolvers.

Since operations were suspended on the
Interstate road thieves have been busy
taking the copper feed wire along the
route.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Brown and
Ohicer Goodman OF Attleboro got track OF
Michael REYNOLDS and George Paul, two
we'll known Providence crooks who have
stolen about S400 worth OF wire, and
trailed them to their den in the woods
near South Attleboro. After dark they
stole up to the camp and found the men
asleep. Brown covered them with a
couple OF six shooters and Goodman woke
them up. They saw the officers had the
drop" on them and quietly marched TO
Attleboro where they were locked up and
later confessed.
They used to go boldly out on the Prov
idence and Boston road, just over the line,
In day time and take 90 or 100 feet OF wire.
The people who saw them believed they
were workmen of the Interstate.
After dragging 1t into the woods they
would chop 1t up into small pieces and
sell II to junk dealers.
James Hogg was arrested at Valley Falls
today chargedlwith being mixed up in the
stealing OF the wire.
Reynolds, Paul and Hogg were ar.
raianed before Judge Read at Attleboro
this morning. The two former pleaded
guilty and were given seven months.
Hogg pleaded not guilty, was tried and
got the same sentence.
