ITCAUSED A SENSATION.

DR.. f. M. Lewis, an Aged Physician,
a witness for tho Defense In the
Observation-Disclosures Case, Gives
Most Damaging Testimony - He
Had Been Applied to Years Ago to
Perform an Operation on Miss Pol
lard.
DANv1LLH, KY. Feb 19-The testimony
taken to-day in the Pollard-Breckenridss
damage suit developed sensation of great
magnitude There was only one witness
examined He had bsen summoned for
the defense and that aide had given out
that they would not say great deal. But
bis evidence proved to be very important.
The witness was DR.. T. II. Lewis, and
he testified that the late Hon. A. n Swope,
who was killed in the famous Swops Good
loe duel at Lexington several years ago,
had during 1885 applied to him to perform
q criminal operation on one Miss Pollard
aud acknowledged that he WAS the cause of
her misfortune.
This testimony has great weight, as Miss
Pollard claims that the infant said to have
made its appearance In the year 1885 was
Colonel Bre ckenridge's child.
DR.. Lewis is an aged physician and has
been practicing regularly In the county
| five miles from this city for many years.
He lives not . great distance from the
| SWopo placs ana WAS VOL acquainted WILL
Colonel swope and family. He 10 . regu-
lar practitioner and stands we'll in
| bis neiRhborhood. He said that he knew
| the Pollards 1t Grab Orchard and, while
Colonel swope never gave him the 6rst
name of the woman In the case, he had
good reason to believe that ahe was the
woman now suing Colonel Breckenridge.
Colonel Swope was q man of the highest
standing aud held several Offices. People
pre- ent who were his friends are shocked
| by this story.
