WARRINGTON. April 3-Frssh interest was
,l,sn the Pollard Breckenridge trial to-day
through the Introduction Of . new line Of tss-
,Imony BY the attorneys for the plsintin and
also by the fact that Miss Pollard was again
an the stand for . short tina The new point
brought out By the plaintiff IL that during the
year 1885. when Col. Breckenridge says he saw
ar heard nothing OF Miss Pollard. he was
in constant communication with her. and
that nearly all his letters were addressed
"a her as MY Dear Sister Louise,
my dear sweetheart" my dear spitnre."
A.. fthese letters can be shown to have ex-
listed it will not only break down Col Breckin-
ridges testimony. for he has sworn that they
were never written. but will also afford an op-
portunity TO show that Mise Pollard did for .
time pass Dy tno uh"S VI hfoNtsN Vhnohs
the dsiense has also denied.
Col. Breckinridge was evidently totally
surprised to-day when Miss Lowell. for

pearsd as q witness and swors to hav-
inr written the letters that he testified
Yesterday were never written. but he
still remained firm. and even became more
emphatic In repudiatinR them. The Court
would not permit evidence TO be given ~ to
the contents OF the letters. as thsy were not
producsd. but the testimony By Miss Lowell.
the typewriter was positive as to the exist
snee OF the letters and the date when they
were written.
Tho trial still continues to be the absorbing
tonic Of interest in Washington. and the at
torneys on both sides Intimate that Its sensa-
tlonal features are to be added to By the in
PRODUCTION Of more surprising rebuttal testi-
mony before the case goes to the jury.

legal battle against the INTRODUCTION Of proof
