"Did you communicate with the plain

The colonel was strenuous in his de-
mails. No such arrangement had been
made by him or for him to his knowl-
edge, nor such advertisements, If pub
lished, would not convey any iniorma-
tion to his mind.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION.
With this reply Judge Wilson re-
turned the defendant to his own attorney
for redirect examination. Mr.. Butter
worth drew out the colonel in conversa-
tiens between himself and Miss Pollard
regarding their marriage. She had told
him, he said, she had no friends; that
her only intimate girl friend had gone
insane; his wife was dead and there waa
nothing to prevent him from marrying
her. He replied to this with some anger,
and she said ii he would change his tone
che would retire from society; give up
trying to 60 in society and be his mis-
tress take care of his room and do his
typewriting. He had told her that
under the circumstances she was the
last person who could do his type
writing. She had insisted she would
not leave him, but would 20 wherever
he went. Then they had walked to-
rakh fn IN II okN rryh inn
they had been accustomed to vieit. His
anger had cooled down. He sat down;
she sat on the floor with her arms to
his knees, and they talked far into the |
night, she saying she did not care ii |
there was a scene. He had told her |
that after their relations he could not |
marry her; that no man could be ex-
pected to marry woman With whom
he had had intercourse, unless he had |
seduced her.
ANOTHER NAUGHTY STATESMAN.
"'You know have not seduced you,'
/ said," and Colonel Breckenridge con-
tinued: "she urged me to marry her on
account of those relations. l said. Il
cannot afford to put Jim Rhodes' mis-
trees et the head of my table She
threw up the window and eaid che
would scream. Just then some one
raped at the door and said we were
making o great deal of noise; that my
voice was peculiar, that there was
another member of congress there who |
might recognize it," [Lsughter.l
Colonel Brockinridge smiled and con-
tinued: II did not care to know who |
he was."
This narrative was objected to by Mr..
Wilson, but Judge Bradley said he knew
no reason for refusing IT, The defense
contended that the particular talk had
not been given before, and Judge Brad
ley remarked that the substance of it
had been; that several of the express
sions were very familiar to him. Mr..
Butterworth acknowledged that the
matter was not good for the public, but
that Mr.. Wilson had endeavored TO
prove the defendants course had been
brutal toward the young woman, and it
was due to this that he had allowed the
defendant to explain how the matter
occurred.
The attorneys had no more witnesses
on hand, the cross-examiuation having |
ended, as Mr.. Shelby said, somewhat
unexpectedly, 80 they asked for an ad-
journment an hour earlier than uaual. |
Mr.. Wilson offered to occupy the time
with some OF his witnesses for rebuttal,
bat the defense declined the offer, and
the Judge said he would concede the re-
quest not to continue the case today,
though it had already consumed more
time than it should have done.
TIE JUDGE SCORES THE SPECTATORS.
''If.the parties to this case would like
to go out first they may do 80, and will
keep the crowd back" said Judge
Bradley, as the people began to stir
from their seats. Accordingly Mics
Pollard and her attorneys, followed by
Colonel Breckinridge and his attorneys,
filed through the little door between
the judge and the jury. Several men
made rush from their seats after
them. Judge Bradley's cheeks flushed,
and he raped the desk fiercely.
''Court has not adjourned" he
shouted above the huetling noises.
Take your seats" Then, pointing to
one conspicuous offender who was half
way acroes the room with his hat on, he
eternly said: Take off your hat there
and go back where you came from.
Take your eeats."
AS the men relapsed into their seats
the judge declared in the sternest tones
"This morbid curiosity which has been
manifested since the beginning of this
trial is perfectly disgusting. The CORR.
dors of the court have been crowded, the
egress has been crowded, and l under
stand the sidewalks in front OF the Offices
of the counsel have been croWdad show-
