WAsHNerox, March 13-Such a
gathering Of lawyers as this morning
fned the Circuit Court where the Pol
lard-Breckenridge case is on trial has
seldom been seen in Washington. Mem
hers of the local bar crowded the place
20 see what sentence Judge Bradley
would mete out TO the visiting KentucS-
isDs who had made a pugilistic assault
rpon Miss PouarTs attorneys the night
before. Impressive silence followed
the rol call of jurors, the Judge seem
Inc 90 wait for explanations from the
lawyers.
Then be said. OF notice the papers
bavelaid out q course Of procedure for
me 20 follow regarding an occurrence
outside the court room after the court
had adjourned Yesterday evening, which
the court did not see and which the
partIes concerned in it probably regret
as much as tbe court does. It is not
matter of which the court can take Ju-
dieisl notice. AS it was past the hour
for adjournment when the plaint.hs
counsel had finished speaking last
ni9bt and as I noticed some eyi-
dences OF excitement on the part of the
defendants counsel thought it best TO
adjourn tbe court, thinking that after
anight Of thought over the connection
fp which certain words had been used
the counsel might look upon them diff
fersntly. Had the trouble referred 20
taken place in court 10 would have been
the dusy of the court TO take judicial
notice Of it and he would have done so
promptly"
Then after a brief pause Judge Brad
lev proceeded. "Ibere is another mat
ter about which I deem 10 my duty to
sneak The Court has received in-
formation that some OF the gentlemen
representiug the defendant have come
into the court room armed. There is
law for the punishment OF the offence
OF
CARVING CONCEALED wEAroNs,
not as stringent as I wish 10 was. This
fsaIaw-ab.ding community the courts
are ADEQUATE 90 protect citizens, and as
such conduct Isl uucaIed for % IS most
renrebepsi6ls. If the Court has in-
formqs on adequate he shall see that
peos aNltion is begun ln the fodce
Cour@ IL the District
Here Mr. But,erworth rose stating
that he had never carried weapon, and
Thought the counsel should De given an
opportunity 90 enter disclaimer, as he
would regret the occurrence OF suc1 q
breach ol order as that in the court.
Nrr Shelby. COL Breckenr.dge's part-
pe- said he had never carried a weapon
iD hls life. Mr. Mchenney followed
with "a similar statement, Nr. otoIl 0e-
cIarfng that ne had never entered the
Dresence of a court armed, and then
Mr. Thompson remarked, "As L am the
only one lsftI will enter disclaimer
also"
Mr.. Carlisle rose 90 say that he wished
it understood that the information bad
mon come from any OF the p.aintlus
coDnseL 20 which Judge Bradley as
rented remarking that DO had been
made 90 him by reputable parties.
The beIHgerent episode having thus
been closed, Attorney Steele, Tor the
3efsDse was asked GO be- permitted an
argnmept in support of his motion 90
srDorass the dispositions taken the
day before the trial. when Judge
Bradrev interp0Sed. 'l hardly
tpirk it is necessary as
tbs oorrt was about 90 decide in your
fsvor n The Judge excluded che depo-
s.uons on tho ground that they did nos
conform to the law that they must
either be written by the deponent or oy
rhe notary before whom they we're
taken. as they were written aItei "ar0
bv tbe typewriter. An exception TO
the ruling was taken ior the p.alnt.I-
Another deposition, that of Mrs.
Mary Logan. taken before Notary
Towrv jackson, in Ciuc'nnnatt was
offered for the plaintiff and
OBJECTED TO BY TIE DEFENDANT.
In the argument following it developed
tbat this testimony was concerning the
birtb of Miss Polard's first child. At
torrev Carlisle admitted that ideuuhca-
+ior of Miss Pollard by the witness was
NOT complete, but complained or the
manner aud length of cross-eXamlnauon
of Mrs Logan, who had herself pro-
rested against 10 as persecution.
Judge Bradley decided that since
more than q day had been consumed in
oross-examinatiOn of Mrs. Logan, the
rights of the defendant had been pre-
served and admitted the deposition,
the defense noting an exception.
Mrs. Mary Logan Is a Cincinnati
Dbvsician. as appeared from the depo-
sition read by Mr.. Carlisle. She bad, TO-
1ss4 treated young girl about 20 be
confined. who gave the name of Monica
Burroyne, saying THAI her friends call
. ed her .'Mona." and the witness SAID
that Miss Pollard, who was then in the
notarv's Office, bore some resemblance
10 her. although she had doubtless
CHANGED It was the young woman's s
first child, and she had represented
tbat her husband had died, or there
were family reasons for keeping the
birth a secret
