MADELINE WINS.
Close of the Sensational Pollard Breckin-
ridge Breach of Promise Case-The Jury
Awards the Plaintiff $1,000.


WASHINGTON, April 16-Foreman
Charles r Cole, of the civil court jury,
at 4:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon
announced verdict for the plaintiff.
Madeline Pollard. for $4,000 damages
from Congressman w. C. 2. Breckin-
ridge for breaking his contract to
marry her, thus ending the long and
exciting Breckenridge Pollard breach
OF promise trial Sensations had
fairly crowded into the last day of
the trial There had been some
of the most dramatic scenes which ever
stirred the dingy little court room,
reeking. as it was. with the memories
of celebrated cases. There was an ap-
proach to personal collision between
Judge Wilson and Attorney Charles
Stoll during the magnificent closing
argument of the Washington lawyer,
followed by talk of a duel, and Judge
Bradley, in his charge to the jury.
scored Col Phil Thompson as lawyer
is seldom spoken of in court
The jury retired at 3:O7 p. m The
first ballot taken was upon the merits
of the case, leaving out of considera-
ton the question of the amount OF
damages. 1t resulted in eleven votes
for verdict in favor of the plaintiff
and one vote for the defendant There
upon the dissenting gentleman was
figuratively cornered by his colleagues,
and for some time was argued with. In
speaking of this discussion afterwar6,
Foreman Cole said that the jurymen
displayed fully as great a familiarity
with the points of the testimony as had
been evidenced by the lawyers in their
arguments. They laid the case fully
before the obdurate juryman, called
for the grounds on which he based his
belief, and were finally able to over
come him by sheer force of logic
The next question to be settled was
the figure at which the damages should
be rated and upon this matter there
was the widest possible difference.
Two or three jurors thought the full
amount sued for $3.50. OOOJ should be
awarded Foreman Cole said that
verdict of 81 would vindicate Miss Pol
lard and punish Mr.. Breckenridge suffi-
GENTLY. and he thought it was unnec-
essary to impose any great financial
punishment upon him. Discussion of
this matter followed until the usual
course was adopted, each juror writing
the amount he considered just upon a
slip of paper and balance being struck
The amounts ranged from 81 to $50 900,
and s15. 600 the average.
The jury returned their verdict for
the latter amount and the defendant
gave notice that he would move for a
new trial
That Miss Pollard will be financially
bettered by the result of the case is
not probable. because it is well under.

the flag hold the love and allie rance of

politics in administration are every
thing. Itwas not at all necessary that

of the highest Importance that repub-

Mr.. Harrison referred to the distress
prevailing in the country and said that
it was necessary to have atariff for the
workingman- Keep American mills
