which time he had never seen her. She
invited him to call at the seminary.
Having nothing else to do lie went to the
college that day and saw her. He saw
rot an ignorant girl, unucquainted with
the ways Of the world, for II there was one
fact that would be established, It was
that the plaintiff was at least twenty or
twenty-one years of age, and It would be
shown by the doctor who ofiiciated at
the birth Of her next youngest sister in

That Col. Breckinridge had called
a closed carriage that night was denied.
1t was declared that Miss Pollard had
made the proposition that they ride In.
stead Of going to the concert, and thu
counsel said that during the course Of
that ride and without the use of seductive
means, but In that way which occurs
when q woman is not averse to such
things, an illicit relation was established
OH the first night he had been with her.
ihe defense will be partly denial and
parity explanatory; denial that Col.
Breckinridge seduce,l Madeline Pollard:
tlat she gave birth to child ut the Nor.
wood convent; an explanation that she
trapped him into promise to marry her
on the mutual understanding that the
promise was only devise by which she
was to withdraw from his life and be
able to break of her relations with Mrs,
Blackburn. The long-csntinued Illicit re-.
lations between the two are admitted
without excuse or palliation except ref
crence to the inherent weakness of human
nature, but the orator, spokesman, rep
Eesents that he was often anxious to
break them off, but was always inveigled
into continuance by the young woman;
that she followed him, demanded money
from him and compelled his promise to
marry her under threats, several times re-
peated, and emphasized by display of
pistols. Moreover, 1t is promised to be
shown that Miss Pollard's early life had
not been one of virtue before the silver
tongued orator crossed her path. This,
in substance, is the defense, but it has
many branches and side issues.
