He Again Appears in the Pollard
breckenridge Case.


breckenridge Case.
Washington March 24.-Judge Brad
ley heard objections to certain affida-
Wits for the defense in the Pollard
Breckenridge case in private today,
Ionly the attorneys connected with the
trial being admitted.
There were three dispositions to
which objection was made, the point
involved being the relevancy of the
testimony bearing on Miss Pollard S
character. One of these dispositions is
by Alex Julian, who tells of an alleged
mock marriage at Squire, Tinsley's
house, Bridgeport, Ky, in 1883; of the
participation in egg-nogg, followed by
the retirement of the pseudo bride and
groom, together with further unseemly
proceedings. Miss Pollard in her tes-
timony denied the truth of this state
Iment.
Another is the deposition of w w.
RoseIle, engaged to Miss Pollard when
she was a student at the Wesleyan
seminary. and intimate with Breckin-
ridge. He testifies that he took liber-
ties with her, and that she begged him
to take her with him to Chicago. Miss
5Pollard denied this, and said Roselle
was trying to curry favor with Brock
linridge in order to get the appointment
of collector of internal revenue in
Breckinridse's district.
The deposition of DIR. Lewis, of Lex
ington, who said the late Colonel
Swope approached him to get him to
perform a criminal operation on a Miss
Pollard. was also objected to, as it not
being shown to be this Miss Pollard.
The arguments before Judge Brad
Hey continued five hours and he took
the questions submitted under consid-
Grafton to decide them Monday morn
ling when the court meets again.
Miss Pollard's counsel surprised the
defense by making a sweeping objec-
ton to all their dispositions on the
ground that they had been taken in an
irregular manner.

San Francisco, March 24-Mrs. Jen-
ME Irving Ross and her five months
old babe. were burned to death in a
fire which occurred at the residence OF
her father. a X. Irving, at 20 HaiGnt
street at this morning.
Mrs. Irving, the mother of Mrs. Ross
20 years of age. jumped from back
window and sustained probably fatal
internal injuries.
Mrs Carry Irving. in jumping from
the window, ruptured the tendons OF
her leg, and may be a cripple for life.
Mrs. Ross had been awakened few
moments before the fire broke out by
the crying of her babe. She opened
the door leading into the hall, and a
great wave of smoke poured into the
room.
After that. Miss Carrie Irving, whom
Mrs. Ross aroused, has no clear recol-
lection of what happened. She never
heard her sister speak again. but
thinks that she picked up her baby and
tried to make her way out OF the room
and down the stairway.
Miss Carrie Irving gathered up the
two children in her charge and CROPPED
her way to the floor below where her
father, mother and two brothers were
sleeping She aroused them and the
whole family made an effort to reach
the front door, which by that time was
a seething mass of flames. They were
driven back. but finally managed to
reach and open one of the rear WIN
dOws. looking into an area. The DIS
lance from the window to the ground
is between eighteen and twenty feet,

When the firemen came and sue
ceeded in breaking open the front door,
a pitiful sight met their gaze. Mrs.
Ross was lying DECD. Clasped in her
arms was the five months babe, also
dead.
1t was evident from the position of
the bodies that Mrs. Ross had sue
ceeded in making her way down the
stairs. but in the darkness and the
smoke had become confused and lost
her way.
The fire was plainly incendiary. Ii
was deliberately planned and so oalcu-
lated as to preclude. as he Thought, the
possibility of any of the family escap-
ing, when once the flames had got un-
der way The Irving home stands VI
high from the street and the front
door is reached by a long, fight OF
wooden steps. 1t was at these steps
that the smoke and blaze were first dis
covered
After the fire there was found be
meath these steps the unmistakable eyi-
dence of the work of a fire tiend. A
large quantity of kerosene was poured
over the steps and waste material be-

by Mr.. Cleveland was that the phrase

Enid, O. T., March 24.-It is given out
under good authority today that Round
Pond, the government townsite in Il"

remove Monday to Pond Creek. the
railroad town, a comnromise being eff

Neither the government nor the rail-
road had anything to do with the COM
promise, which is attributed to the eff
forts of Hutchinson and Caldwell par
ties, who are largely interested in both
places. When it was announced shat
the consolidation would be effected on
Monday, it was as much surprise to
the representatives as to the people.
