The rumors circulated yesterday that the
puit brought by Miss Madeline v. Pollard

TO be unfounded today. The case was called

In due form. progressing SO far as the Sc

Mr.. John H. Stoll of Lexington. KY, a tall
smooth-feced typical Kentuckian, and Mr..
John T. Shelby of Lexington, a law partner
of Mr.. Breckenridge. Mr.. VIM. G. Mattingly
of this city appeared also in the case today
as he said merely to assist in the prelmin-
ary proceedings. owing to the continued alb
sence of Col. Enoch Totten, who is on a
journey looking for the fountain of health
in Florida. On the other side are Calderon
Carlisle, well known at the District bar,
and Mr.. Jere NJ. Wilson, ex-judge. ex-Con-
gresham, and of national repute as a law
yer, and Mr.. VIM. G. Johnston. Mr.. Car

who attracted attention. Mr.. Desha Breck-
inridge, son of the defendant, a good looking
young man, with closely cropped black
beard, sat in the jury box until he had to
get out to make room for the jury. Repre-
sentative c. r. Breckenridge of Kentucky
was also there. When Judge Bradley took
his seat on the bench a few minutes after
10 all the counsel We're in their places and
strung out in a long line before the judge
from the place where Mr.. BreckinridSe and
NJ. Butterw orth sat at the judges left to
the seats of Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Carlisle on
the right.
The Case.
The case is we'll known to the reading
public. Last August the suit was filed. a
few days after the second marriage of Col
Breckenridge. Since then both parties to
she SuA@ h"'c oeeii ehSdSeu III tdhihS tes-
timoney in Kentucky and Cincinnati the
attorneys for Miss Pollard endeavoring to
substantiate her assertions that Col Breck-
inridge seduced her when a girl in a semi
nary at Cincinnati, was the father CT her
three children, and had made repea ted
promises to marry her; while the statements
secured by Mr.. Breckenridge tend to blacken
the character of the plaintiff
The plaintiffs claim will be set forth to
the jury tomorrow morning. when Mr.. Car
Isle will make the opening statement of
the case.
The Only Case on Assignment.
''The case of Pollard and Breckinridse :"
said Justice Bradley, when the court was
called to order, appears to be the only case
on the assignment for today. Are you ready
for trial?'
''The plaintiff is ready to proceed, your
honor" said Mr.. Carlisle.

HIS TWO POSITIONS.
Justice White Has n Precedent for
His Delay.

The recent discussion OF the question OF the
propriety of the action of Senator White I'm
retaining his seat in the Senate while he
holds commission as a member OF the
United States Supreme Court recalls the
fact that no less person than Judge Mar
shall held the offices and performed the du-
ties of Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
and of Secretary Of State at one and the
same time. 1t was during the closing
months of President Adams administra-
ton. Judge Marshall was Secretary OF
State, when he was appointed Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court He was confirmed
January "a, 1901. was commissioned On the
3lst Of the same month and took the oath
of Office February I. Ii also appears that
he actually presided over the deliberations
of the court from the ith TO the 9Th OF Feb
ruary. lSDl. during which period ne was
performing the official functions OF Secre-
tary of State, and that he continued TO act
in the latter capacity during the remainder
of the Adams administration, which expired
March 3, 1901, from which date ne devoted
himself exclusively TO the consideration OF
the business of the Supreme Court.

worthless Even After Death.

News was received in this city yesterday
that George Z. Harrison, who deserted his
wife, Emma K. Harrison, and her two
children some time ago, committed suicide
at Leeds, England, by shooting himself.
He placed the muZzle of 3 revolver in his
mouth and pulled the trigger. When his
body was found the deadly tube was still
in his mouth. Mrs. Harrison will suffer
by the death OF her husband, inasmueh as
she had made great efforts to keep mp his
life insurance. all of which is lost through
suicide" clause.
Harrison at one time was q tailor in
North Seattle, and wrote a letter to his
wife telling her he was going 10 commit
suicide She was at Leeds a. that time
ana Harrison did not want her TO come to
this country. She did not like the looks
of the letter and cabled Chief of Police
Jackson as to Harrison's condition. The
address became mixed during transmits
sion, and it was by chance that Clerk
Flemming found Harrison. alive and we'll,
at his little shop in North Seattle. Mrs.
Harrison came to Seattle later, and last
March Harrison tried to Kill himself by
cutting his throat. He made bungling
Job and was sent to the county hospital
until he recovered. His next move was to
desert his family and leave them in a
needy condition.
