edn onitions Of the night before had the
effect of reducing the attendance at the

in my arms two hours, according to my
promise to him." rhc began.
Now, now, Miss Pollard" Mr.. But
tcrwcrth began ncrvomsly, warning Miss
Pollard with great solicitule to continc
herself to answering his questions. Mr..
Wilson also atln0nisted her.
The child had been taken to the Prot
cstant Founding asylum, OH Fourteenth
street in Washington, where she had
visited it with DR.. Mary Parsons once.
She continued:
II gave it little German name. l
pinned note on it's clothing 80 they
coald name it. 1 was reading Carlyle,
and / named it from n character of his,
from that of Col. Rreckinridge or my
own"
The second time she saw the child was
OH the :}l of May at the undertaking
establishment. before it was buried.
When Mr.. Butterworth asked how the
funeral expenses had been paid, she
said TINT Mrs. Parsons had looked after
that, she supposed Col. Breckinridge
paid them.
During the testimony of the matron of
the asylum Miss Pollard wcpt profuscly.
A colored cook ut a house frequented by
Miss Pollard and the colonel testified
that the colonel complimented her upon
her cooking and wanted to engage her
when hc and Miss Pollard married. She
said that the colonel called upon Miss
Pollard after the date upon which he
was secretly married to Mrs. Wing, and
she saw him kiss her. Miss Pollard's
cousins testified that she was in Pennsyl-
vania in 1883, when woman of the
town said that she associated with Miss
Pollard in Kentucky. The defense
rested it's ease to-day.
