the different conversation commingled.

words OF conversations after few
weeks"
The Colonel was sure that Mrs. Black
burn had not told him that she had told
Miss Pollard that il his attentions TO
Mrs. Wing were as she had represent
ed, be was a villain. 81 am sure Mrs.
! Blackburn did not use such an offensive
word in her own parler to visitor.
Mrs. Blackburn was a lady, l have
known for years, and as a hostess, she
would not have said such thing"
Mr. Wilson sndeavored 70 pin down
the Colonel to a denial Of the statement
that he had told Mrs Blackburn he had
no love for any other woman than Miss
Pollard and finally secured the answer,
Il am sure that no such conversation
occurred"
"You do not remember?" said Mr..
/ Wilson.
"Well, I will say that I do not recol-
lect that such a conversation happened"
Regarding the scene when Miss Pol
lard had asked him TO name the day,

Blackburn. Such a scene did happen,
and it was n superb piece of acting"

know there is woman by that name
who will be called upon to swear that
l was there. l know that certain per-
sons have been sent there to train her
as to what she will testify. I never was
there. IL is false"
"YOu say certain persons have been
there to train her. Has any one been
there on your behalf?"
~ sent my son there because / had
heard she was 10 be called 70 testify
and that she had been seen by another
witness in this case regarding her testi-
mOny."
Ibid you communicate with the plain
till there by advertisements in the
Evening Star, and did you arrange to
have typewriter letters prepared for
your communication With her, with
some person in this city?'
The Colonel was strenuous in his de-
malls. Judge Wilson quietly returned
the defendant to his own attorneys
FOR REDIRECT EXAMINATION.
Mr.. Butterworth drew out OF the
Colonel the conversation between
himself and Miss Pollard regarding
their marriage. She had told him, he
said, that she had no friends, that her
only intimate girl friend had gone in
sane, his wife was dead and there was
nothing to prevent him from marrying
her He replied to this with some an
ger and she had said that IL he would
change his tone, she would retire from
society, give up trying 10 so into socie
" and be mis- mistress, take care of his
room and do his tYpewrit!ng. He had
told her that under the circumstances
she was the last person who could do his
typewriting. She had insisted that she
would not leave him, but would 90
wherever he went Then they had
walked together 80 q house on h street,
which they had been accustomed to
visit. His anger had cooled. He sat
down, she sat on the floor with her arm
on his knee and they talked far into the
night, she saying that she did not care
IL there was 4 scene there. He had
told her that their relations would not
permit him 10 marry, he could not marry
a woman with whom he had had inter
course, unless he had seduced her.
"'You know have not Seduced you,'
said" and Colonel Breckenridge con-
tinued: "She urged me to marry her on
account OF these very relations. said:
4 can't afford to put Jim Rhodes mis-
tresS and my mistress
AT THE HEAD OF Ny TABLE
She threw up the window and said she
would scream. Just then some one
raped at the door, said we were max
ing a great deal OF noise; that my voice
was peculiar and there was another
member Of Congress in the house who
might recognize it. lLaughter.)
Colonel Breckenridge smiled aud con-
tiRued:
81 did not care to know who be was"
This narrative was objected TO by Mr..
Wilson and Judge Bradley said he knew
no reason for repeating 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.
The attorneys had no more witnesses
on hand, she cross-examination having
ended, as Mr.. Shelby said, somewhat
UNEXPECTEDLY. so they asked for an
adicmCment an hour earlier than usual.
Mr.. streIOB offered to occupy the time
with we OF his witnesses foE EoeaetaA,
