HE DECEIVED HER.
Mira. Breckenridge Condition Causes Her
Friends to be Uneasy.

Washington, ID. c., April l5.-[Special. j
The Washington News tonight prints the
following: Mrs. Breckinridge, formerly
Mrs. Wing, the wife of the defendant in the
now famous observation-disclosures breach OF
promise suit, is said to be in a condition
which is causing her friends great uneasi-
ness. From an authoritative source 1t has
been learned that just prior to the com
mencement of the present suit Breckln-
ridg assured his wife upon the memory OF
his sainted mother that the charges brought
against him by Miss Pollard were wholly
false. and that the whole case was piece
OF blackmail
Upon the strength of this statement
Mrs. Breckenridge. who had. up. to the
time of the presentation of the defendants
case, profound confidence in her husband
and his honor. made what might be termed
a present to him of all her earthly posses
sions.
MIR. Wing. the first husband of Mrs.
Wing, was at one time a man OF consider
able means When he died he left Mrs
Wing q fortune consisting of about S40.0OO
worth of property, real estate, and other.
Some of this fortune Mrs. Wing had al,
ready expended when she married Colonel
Breckenridge. 1t is understood that when the
suit WAS brought by Miss Pollard Mrs.
Breckenridge transferred her entire proper
", including an insurance on her former
husbands life, to the colonel. that he
might properly present his side of the case
Almost Frustrated.
"When Colonel Breckenridge frankly con-
fessed on the witness stand the nature or
his relations with Miss Pollard it nearly
Frustrated Mrs. BreckinrldSe. The tlct that
Colonel Breckenridge, as he admitted on the
witness stand, was SO closely associated
with Madeline Pollard within few days
of the time that he married his present
wife is said to have caused a feeling of re-
yulsiau in rIrs. j}reckinrids3a's mind.
when Colonel Breckenridge married Mrs
Wing at the residence of DIR. Paxton, in
New York at the earnest suggestion of the
bridegroom the marriage was kept secret
Colonel Breckenridge said when giving his
testimony in relation to this fact that his
idea was to keep his marriage Il secret in
order that his wife might have an opportu-
nifty to make friends with his children be-
fore the marriage publicly announced
Miss Pollard was in New York only few
days previous to the ceremony, and the
friends of Mrs. Breckenridge now assert
with some degree of confidence that the
colonel kept the marriage secret to pre-
vent any interference on the part of Miss
Pollard.
Mrs. Breckinridge is now living at No
1725 @ street, y. W., and, since the in
eliminating admissions of her husband, is a
changed woman. She denies herself to call
erS except two or three very close friends
who are in deep sympathy with her in her
unfortunate position. She has been rarely
seen In public since the beginning OF the
suit and never in company with Colonel
Breckenridge"

story told by the members Of the jury that
there was not one ballot cast in favor OF
Colonel breckenridge as was reported just
after the verdict was rendered, but that one
juror, DIR. A. Nj. Greene. refused to vote
on the only ballot taken until certain points
in the case had been discussed. A few mill
utes after the jury reached the jury room
and before any discussion had begun, Fore
man Cole asked how many We're i'll favor or
giving the case to the plaintiff. and eleven
hands went up.
DR.. Greene sat with folded arms. but he
told his fellow jurymen that his refusal to
vote did not mean he was in favor or the
defendant. At his request, the evidence
was discussed for short time, and then
DR.. Greene cast his vote with the others.>

jurors named $15,000 and as that was ABOUT
the average, it was adopted by the jury

The Seay Scandal at I.ynchburg May tr

Richmond, Va, April T.-(Special)-
The impression prevails here that there will
yet be some far more interesting develop

military scandal than were brought out
in the investigation made recently by Cap
tain George Wayne Anderson, who was de-
tailed by Governor O Ferrall to go to the
Hili City for that purpose. Captain Ander-
sons report VIII be Idld before the governor

that it Will fully eXOnerate Captain ": M.

charges made to the council We're aimed.
But it is not thought that Scay ana MS

out. The men Reelected him at once, but
the other military objected ana alter con-
siderable discussion and leeilnS lie was
turned down by the military examining
board. Then, when Seay was elected captain
of the battery two three months ago,
great pressure was brought to bear on Gov
ernor O'Ferrdll to induce him to withhold
fed, however, that the young oihcer was
entitled to his commission and issued IT,
despite the formal protest sent from meet
ing of LynchburS officers.
1t is said now that proceedings, either In
the nature of courtmartial or civil suit, may
be brought against those who are RESPONSE

While the scheme of Colonel William
Lamb, of Norfolk, for revivng the old
wing party ,ne principles held by the
old wings, has been the subject Of a good
deal of comment and newspaper discussion
throughout the state. very little Importance
is attached to it. Colonel Lamb is man
of fine parts and would prove a magnetic
leader but with the democratic, republican,
porIlist and prohibition parties there hardly
seems to be room or another. Any move
ment would, of course, operate against the
dominant or democratic party and the OPP
position might have a good fighting chance
il it embraced all the elements not in
harmony with the democrats. The republic
cans ha re been very inactive for the last
two years and might now give their support
to the Lamb people but for the fact that
their chances Of outsinS their old enemy
would be far better in a coalition with the
populists.
