MRS. BLAcKBuRX's EVIDENCE.

concerning Mrs. Blackburn, Mr..
Thompson said that she was lovely
old lady, but she was getting pretty
well along in years, she's no longer
maiden gay, he said. "She would not
tell anything that was not SO for the
world, but the old lady thought she had
been imposed upon, and wanted to put
it to Col. Breckinridge as hard as she
could. That's human nature; don't
blame her. l admire her spirit. Why,
was afraid she would jump down my
throat. frizzes and all, when began to
examine her."
If Colonel Breckinridge had been dis
posed to lie he might have kept many
things to his discredis out of the case,
only because he would not play the part
OF hypocrite and perjurcr, no was con-
demned. "We arc looking at this thing
as men OF the world of common sense"
tho colonel said, going on to tell how
the colonel had provided for her. She
had said that she had preferred being
Colonel Breckinridge's mistress to Jim
Rhodes wife, and why? Because as his
mistress she did not have to work, wont
into good society and had intellectual
companionship. Why had rather be
the mistress OF man like Colonel
BreckinridGe, good looking and intel
lectual, than to sleep ell the DAYS OF my
life beside au omnibus. That was her
choice, and l think it was good one,
averred the deiendant's attorney.
Coming down to tho death OF Colonel
Breckinridge's wife, tho attorney said:
Then and there new ambition sprung
up in her. She said, here Is the old
man have swung on to SO long. He
is free and now I'll mako him marry
me. Colonel BrecSinridge had never
introduced her to Mrs. Blackburn and
the other ladies in whose parlors he
had left her. and yet it was demanded
that he should go there and admit his
relations with her. No man would
have done it. Ho would have looked
pretty, assuming tho role of the sera.

the garden OF Eden when she had got
there"
The jury was not to punish Colonel
Breckenridge tor immortality. All the
great men OF the world had had their
troubles with women. When julius
Caesar was not making laws he was
making love to Cleopatra. David had
put Uriah in the forefront OF battles
because he had looked on the mans
wife and she was lovely "If there
have been any great men who were not
foud OF women they were great hypo-
critics" the colonel declared.
There was Bonaparte, Washington,
all OF them. who had their affairs OF
love, as well as Of war, and he added:
u don't SOC why this man, who is no
worse than the rest OF US, only he has
been discovered and We have not,
should be punished unless we are to be
hypocrites."
This Is common going.on all the
time" said Colonel Thompson taking an.
other tack. "Only he is exposed and
most OF them are not, and it is good
thing. But all OF US have these rela.
tions with women, that is all men, Just
to show that they are men. There may
be some good fellows, only I never me.

UNSUPPORTED TESTIMONY.

Tho history OF similar cases did not
show moro completed chain OF evil
dence, Mr.. Carlisle contcndcd. The de-
fendant asked the jury to believe on his
single word, unsupported by q shred CT
corroboratinC testimony, OF conduct on
his part that tho engagement OF mar
riage had been n concoc!ed subteriuge;
to disbeleiye. tho testimony OF Mrs.
Blackburn, OF Major Moore, OF Francis,
oil Mary lancey and many others. and
against all those take his own word for
story utterly and altogether improba-
bic, astory which ho had every possible
inducement to contrive and to stick to.
"fhat defense stands wholly and sole.
ly upon his unsupported word" con-
tinucd the speaker. II ask you to
judge OF him only by what he has told
you on the stand, O standard by which
every witness can DO judged without
complaint. A father OF family with
eight children, n devoted wife, he tells
you he lived for nine years and in calm
deliberate adultery with this woman,
not giving away to sudden passion, not
led by a misguided love. but that lust
and not lovo was the bond between
them. During those years he was
posing before tho world US 4 Christian
statesman, q man high in tho councils
OF the Presbyterian church, giving coun-
sci 70 saints and sinners while his liic
itself was lilo. He asks you to believe
him now on tho ground that during
these half dozen interviews with Mrs.
blackburn, woman nigh in the stand-
ing Of her state, who must have won
the admiration Of every mothers son
in this box, hetold to hor aud carried
on n complicated lie"
The exigency now pressing the colo.
mel was greater, far greater than any
which had hung over him before the
inducement for him TO lie was greater
than ever, yet he asked the jury to be-
iiGre his uncorroborated word now oa
the supposi,ion that he had always lied
before when he made statements con-
irovesting his present position.

WAsuISGroN, D. c., April l0.-There
was something on foot in the circuit
court to-day Of which tho spectators
did not receive the benefit. Judge
Bradley held q letter in his hand when
the court met in which he seemed
deeply interested. He called up to his
desk three OF the counsel. 0Icssrs. Car
Isle, Wilson and Buttorworth, oxhib-
tied the letter to them, and the four
put their heads together over the docu-
ment for ten minutes. Then one OF the
jurors was callod up and the consulta-
tion was prolonged for ten minutes be-
foro Mr.. Carlisle resumed his argument.
Dark skies were overhead and u
drizzliug rain made to-day one OF the
most uncomfortable OF tho trial, 80 that
there were but few people in the court
room. Among the first was Madeline
Pollard, with the more becoming bon
net which she has worn OF late, and the
Kentucky congressman, her antagonist,
somewhat palor than usual, his pale
ness noticeable because OF the usual
ruddy flesh in his checks.

Attorney Carlisle took up his review
OF the testimony where no had drop
ped it last night and devoted himself
for the frs. half hour particularly to n
discussion Of Mrs. Governor Black
burns testimony. He rehearsed, in q
manner devoid Of rheorical attitude
and in q colloquill tone, how Colonel
Breckenridge had brought to tue Ken
lucky lady tho plaintiff in this case,
saying that she was much to him now,
aud would be more in tho future, as he
intended to make her his wife.
On commenting on the testimony OF
Mr.. Claude De LaRoche Francis, cousin
Of Ward McAllistcr and tho nephew OF
the Marquis Do LaRoche, cham berlain
4 to tho pope, Mr.. Carlisle evoked tho
emile which for some reason always
fits across tho court room at the men,
ton Of that young person.
AIR. Carlisle laid stress upon the fact
that in response to tho notice for tho
production of Miss Pollard's letters only
those two which would be advantageous
for the defense to read were brought
forward. After recalling how 4 muir
derer had once been convicted because
in the furnace into which he had thrust
his victim he had failed to consume tho
victims false teeth, the lawyer brought
forward the work basket which had be-
longed to the late Mrs. Breckinridge,
which the colonel had denied having
given to Miss Pollard, and reminded the
Jury OF the Testimony OF Mary Yancey,
the colored cook who had secn them sit-
ting on tho sofa together with tho basket
between them. From the dramatic
passage in which he flashed tho basket
/. upon the jury Mr.. Carlisle passed on to
the time when Miss Pollard took Colo.
mel. breckenridge from the side OF his
lawful wife at the house in Jefferson
place. with tho quotation from Miss
Pollard's testimony: Il said come with
me, Willie, and he came" to the inter-
view in tho office OF the chief OF police
to which the colonel had said he was
taking the young woman to place her
in the hands OF the law, and where he
had sworn, clasping her hand. to marry

promised to make good to her tho ruin
OF her life; you cannot, with the
thought Of tho mothers aud daughters
in tho land, refuse to mako tho only
possible rOparation 10 this unfortunate
plaintiff"
Reminding them Of tho $4,000,
which tho declaration would allow them
to award, Mr.. Carlisle then closed his
plea, aud Miss Pollard aud her compan.
ion left the room.
Then Col. Phil Thompson faced tho
Jury.
