Breckenridge was man who could
make anything seem right, with his

During this passage, which seemed
to affect Miss Pollard deeply and
visibly moved the audience of men before
her, Colonel Breckenridge sat facing
her with his chin resting on his hands
and no traces of emotion appearing on
his face.
Once when Mr.. Butterworth inquired
how long they had remained in the
designation house at Cincinnati, Miss
Pollard replied she could not reuem-
Der: it must have been two or three
hours, and added:
How long was it, Mr.. Breckenridge ?''
An Interrogation which provoked a
laugh.

Speaking of her life in Cincinnati
when her first child was born, Miss

mysterious stories to keep people from
suspecting her identity.
