WASHINGTON, D. c., March l3.-Such
gathering OF lawyers as this morning
filed the court where tho Breckinridgc-
Pollard case is on trial has seldom bcen
seen in Washington. Members OF tho
local bar crowded the place to SEQ what
sentence Judge Bradley would meto out
to tho visiting Keatuckiaus who had
mndo puGilistic assault upon Miss
Pollard's attorneys the night before.
Impressive silence followed the roll call
OF jurors, the judge seeming to wait for
explanations from the lawyers. Then
he said:
~ notice the papers have laid out
course OF procedure ior mo to follow re-
garding an occurrence Just outside the
court room after the court had ad-
journed yesterday evening" which the
cour, did not SEQ and which tho parties
concerned in it probably regret rs
much as the court docs. 1t is not O
matter OF which the court can tako
judicial notice. AS it was past tho hour
for adjournment when the plaintiffs
counsel Ind finished speaking lust
night, and as noticed some evidences
oil excitement on the part OF the de-
fcndants counsel, thonght it best to
adjourn the court, thinking that after
night OF thought over the connection in
which certain words had been used tho
counsel might look upon them differ
emily. Had tho trouble referred 10
81 t,, -
the duty OF tho court to take judicial
notice OF it and he would have done so
promptly"
Then after brief pause Judge Brad
ley proceeded: "Therc is another mat
ter about which deem it my duty to
speak. The court has received in.
formation that some OF tho gentlemen
representing the defendant have come
into tho court room armed. There is n
law for the punishment OF the oiIease
OF carrying concealed weapons, not as
stringent as l wish it was. This is n
Inw.abiding community; tho courts are
adequate to protect citizens, and as
such conduct is uncalied for it is most
reprehensible. Ii the court has in
formation adequate he shall sec that
prosecution is begun in the police court
OF the district"
ALL DENY IT.
Hero Mr.. Butterworth rose, stating
that he had never carried n weapon and
thought the counsel should be given an
opportunity to enter disclaimers, as no
would regret the occurrence OF such q
breach OF order as that in tho court.
Mr. Shelby, Colonel breckenridge
partner, said he had never carried
weapon in his life. Mr.. McKenney fol-
lowed with q similar statement. Mr..
Stoll declared that he had never entered
the presence OF court armed, and then
Mr. Thompson remarked, "As l AIN the
only ono left Il will enter disclaimer
also"
Mr.. Carlisle rose to say that he wished
1t understood thnt the information had
not come from any OF the plaintiffs
counsel, to which Judge Bradley as
scnted, rcmarking that it had been
made to him by reputable parties.
The bclligerent episode having thus
been closed, Attorney Steele, for the dc.
Tense, asked to be permitted to make
IN argument in support OF his motion
to suppress the depositions taken the
day before the trial, when Judge Brad
ley interposed: ~ hardly think i: is
necessary, rs the court is about to de-
eide in your favor" The Judge ex-
cluded the depositions on the ground
that they did not conform to the law;
TINT they must either bo written by the
deponent or by the notary before whom
thoy were taken, rs they wore written
attcrward by tho typewriter. An ex-
ception to the ruling was taken by the
plaintiff.
Another deposition, that OF Mrs.
Mary Logan, taken before Notary Lowry
jackson, in Cincinnati, was offered by
the plaintiff and objected to bv the de-
fendant In the argument following 1t
developed that this testimony was
concerning tho birth OF Miss Poliard's
first child. Attorney Carlisle admitted
that tho identification OF Miss Pollard
by the witness was not complete, but
complained OF tho manner and length
Of tho cross-cxamination OF Nlrs. Logan,
who had herself protested against it us
persecution.
THE DEPOSITION ADMITTED.
Judge Bradley decided that. since
more than day had been consumed in
tho cross.examinNtion OF Mrs. Logan,
the rights of tho defendant had been
preserved, and admitted the deposition,
the defense noting an exception.
Mrs. Mary Logan is Cincinnati
physician, as appeared from the deposi.
tlon read by Mr.. Carlisle. She had IN
1854 treated young girl about to be
confined, who gave the namo OF Monica
Burgoync, saying that her friends called
her. Mona" and tho witness said that
Miss Pollard, who was then in tho
no,ary's office, bore some resemblance
to her, although she had doubtless
changed. l. WAS tho young womau's
first child. and she had represented
that her husband had died, or there
were family reasons ior keeping tho
birth secret.
The reading OF this deposition occu.
pied two hours, and proved so prosy
that by the time ii was concluded there
wero but few spectators in tho court
room.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
In the deposition it appeared that at
the suggestion OF Dr.. Logan, Miss Pol.
lard had gone for confinement to the
Catholic Sisters In the Reading Road,
