A HIGH FLOWN LETTER CAUSES TEARS.
There was some sparring when But
/ terworth produced the letter of the
| high flown school girl TO "WeSsie'
/ Brown. daughter of the professor of
! Wesleyan seminary and used it as a
! basis of cross examination. The
! laiHtitf admitted that it. had been

references to blind lover for whom
/ she had entertained the greatest af-
/ fection. according to the allusions,
and also to Roselle Rhodes.
Were you engaged 90 him?' in
duired Mr. Butterworth, referring TO
/ the latter individual.
"Not at that time replied Miss
Pollard.
There were other references to the
latter person and To her idea that If
was her duty to break him of his
hnbit of 'swilling iire-watcr,'
Have YOU corrected all the errors
in this letter?n was asked by Mr.. But
terworth as he finished Its rea ling, in
his best elocutionary style, which,
being somewhat ponderouS, hardly
accorded with the sentimental terms
of the epistle.
"Not all of them" Miss Pollard re-
piled, and then lifting her veil, began
to wipe her eyes with her handllcr-
chief
The next few replies were delivered

to be ON the point of breaking down.

ed She told Mr. Buttcrworth that She
wanted to answer him satisfactorily,
but he seemed so eNasperating.
There was much questioning as 70
whether Miss Pollard knew certain
persons in Bridgeport, Ky. where she
had stopped in 1852 and 1883. Some
OF the names she did not remember;
the others she recalled, among them
Alex julian, the blind man with
whom the defense will endeavor
To prove Miss Pollard had mock
marriage Then Miss Pollard eN-
planned the circumstances of the visit
to Squire Kinzic's house on which the
story of the mock marriage with
Julian was based, declaring that tC
the best of her knowledge, nothing
like mock marriage had taken place.
Her uncle George, who was still living,
and with whom her mother lived, was
with her that day.
