FOUGHT IN THE COURT LOBBY. | The Counsel in the Pollard-Breckin- ridge Case Get Into . Wrangle In Court and Continue 1t Outside fter Adjournment-Attor Carlisle for
 the Plaintiff Struck over the Read- Previous to That He Threatens Colonel Breckinridge, Who At. tempts to Act as Peacemaker-Miss Pollard Broke Down in the Court When One of che Witnesses Testf- l He'd.
 wAsH1NaroN, March 12.-Ths criminal court room was crowded to-day when the court opened for the trial of the Pollard Breokinridge case. There were many fash ionably dressed ladies present, but they were ordered from the court room by Judge Bradley. Several persons were called to the stand, but their testimony was of little significance, and after the court adjourned a sensational scene was enacted.
 Late in the afternoon middle aged wo. man who gave Miss Pollard . bright smile as sine took the stand, gave her name as Mary Parsons, . physician of Warrington, and said she had attended Miss Pollard professionally in the winter of 1888 at a convent aud again on Second street. Miss Pollard was awaiting the birth of 8 child, and the witness assisted her in the deliv- cry of boy at the Second street house on February of that year. The child died the following April
 Here Miss Pollard broke down. She tried to ke ep back her tears, but as the wit ness answered some more questions about her child Miss Pollard sobbed aloud. Prior to the child's death and while he was lying dead, said Dr. Parsons, Miss Pollard had gone to see 1t.
 At this point the plaintiffs sobbing be came 90 violent that the proceedings were stopped. Miss Pollard was led out of the court by her two companions, Mrs. Bu- chsnsn and Miss Ellis, and the xsmina- tion of Dr. Parsons continued.
 After some objection by the defense as to questions relating to the paternity of the child, Dr. Parsons said she called on Col onel Brtckinridge at the request of Miss Pollard and presented him . bill for pro- feesional services to the plaintiff. This was at Colonel Breckinridge's house on N street. Colonel Breckinridge sent the wit ness the amount of the bill.
 Cross examined, Dr. Parsons said Miss Pollard had told her that Colonel Breckin- ridge was Ter guardian and the witness had gone to him in that capacity.
 At the close of Dr. Parsons examination 6 prolonged controversy arose about ad- hitting afidavits. It transplred during the discussion that 100 witnesses had been examined in Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia. Major Butterworrh argued forcibly against allowing the depositicns to be flied.
 William G. Johnson, who Is assisting Na1daron Narlis1a fop the pIaipfiff in oproa ing the motion, contended that the de- fense was guilty of chicsnery, effrontery and ipsolencs in endeavoring to keep the depositions out of court. When Mr. John. son made the remark about chicanery there was c murmur from Colonel Breckinridge ard his counsel, and as MT. Johnson con- tinued to make the uncomplimentsry re- marks they plainly showed their objection. Shortly afterwards, when the court was declared adjourned at 3:30 o'clock, nearly all the people in the court room, in- cluding Judge Bradley, passed out through the door reserved for witnesses and jury judges benches.
 Mr, Shelby, Colonel Breckinridge, Colo ne1 Phil Thompson, Major Ben Butter worth, Charles H. Stoll, W. A. MeKenney and Dsshs Breckinridge went out in body. At the door of the lobby outside the court room Cslderon Carlisle and Mr. Johnson were stopped by MT. Shelby, who had wait ed there for them.
 "Mr. Johnson," sa:d MT. Shelby, "I con cider your remark to be insulting, and l demand sstiefaction."
 Then MT. Shelby slapped MT. Johnson's face before the latter could say more than "Well, eir."
 MT. Johnson made @ movement to strike his sssai1ant, but MT. Carlisle placed his body between the two. Just then Colonel Breckiuridge rushed in with his arms ex- tended.
 "Keep your hands off me, sir," cried MT. Carliele expecting an attack, Tor you'll suffer for It."
 "I intended only to separate them," said Colonel Breckinridss. excitedly.
 MT. Carlisle had raised his hands to avert any hostile intention of Colonel Brecklnridge, and as he did so somebody struck him in the back of the head.
 "Who struck mel" ssked MT. Carlisle, turning quickly. A couple of bailiffs were hurrying of through the crowd with Desha Breckinridga. and Captain, Leonard, the deputy marshal of the district, told MT. Carlisle that he was the one who made the attack.
 All this happened in less time than 1t takes to tell it. MT. Shelby and his broth CT counsel hurried out of the court house, while Colonel Breckinridge remained to mako ap explanation to Judge Bradley, who had heard of the row and had come back. MT. Carlisle, Ar. Johnson and others also told the judge of the affair and he prom ised to settle 1t in the morning.
