The witness said that from that time
until he met her with other school girls
Of the Sayre institute, in Lexington. the
next October. he had not seen or heard
of Miss Pollard.
The two old ladies with whom she
boarded there he added. ''were per-
fectly proper. most estimabie and re-
spected persons. If the plaintiff re-
ceiyed any one in her room there at
night, as she has said, know nothing
of it. It was not !"

Did you pay the plaintiff anything
when you parted from her at Sarah
Guess'?"
II cannot use the word pay" replied
the colonel, considerably. II paid the
expenses at Sarah Guess, and presented
her a sum. not very large, but large
enough to pay her travelling expenses"
Continuing, he denied ali knowledge
of the correspondence to Rhodes, al
legged to have been written. dated from
New Orleans and other places in the
South by Miss Pollard under his direc-
ton. nor had he ever written letter
purporting to be from her to her mother
or any other person. Their handWrit-

were read i'll court he had procured from
the sister of Rhodes, through Attorney
Tenny. of Lexington. He had never
seen Mary Street in Cincinnati, now
Mrs. Logan, and, referring to her de-
scriptiOn of him as a small man, he
said:
Il was no more of pigmy then than
| am now"
He described in general way his
movements Ill the year 1885, until he
met Miss Pollard in August or Septem-
Der, asserting that he had no knowledge
of where she had been or the reason for
her absence. In his boyhood he had
been acquainted with Mr.. Rhodes. In-
stead of being in Cincinnati ON Satur-
day, Aug. II, 1854, when Miss Pollard
had testified they met at the public
library. and afterwards visited an as
signation house, he had been
ENGAGED IN COURT
at Winchester in the trial of Ollie Brown
for murder. The next week and all
that month he had been greatly en-
gagged.
"Did you meet Miss Pollard after that
first meeting in the fall of 1884: l mean
improperly. an aSsignation?' asked Mr.
Butterworth.
ION the 11th OF October | met her in
a house III Cincinnati. She came from
the western part of the state and from
the east. met her at the Grand Cen
trai depot in the morning, and went to
Mrs. Roses house, where we were some
time. l went out on business, and re-
turned after supper, remaining several
hours. l returned to Lexington in the
morning, and she went there by an
other train"
Ibid you present her any money?"
II paid the expenses, whatever they
were"
The congressman was able to fix that
date because there was a great Repub-
Ican meeting that night, at which John
a. Logan spoke.

SAID Mr.. Butterworth.
lit might have been an advantage to
me to attend Republican meeting. l
saw the plaintiff occasionally. but not
frequently" continued the colonel.
during the months of November and
December, 1884. and January, 1885. l
saw her in both senses, on the street
and i'll the houses l have spoken of.
After the 4th of March l was i'll WASH
ington several days TO Introduce to the
president Sone gentlemen who were
willing
TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY.
''My wifeS mother was in poor health,
and l returned on her account. She
died on the oath of March.
The first time | ever had any infor-
nation from the plaintiff that she was
Ols
The first time that ever heard that her
trouble had carried her to Cincinnati
was in the fall of 1892, when she desired
me to obtain an Office for lady on the
ground that her brother had been her
physician on that OCCASION"
when did you learn that she was in
trouble?"
''rhat was in the summer of 1887,
when she first told me.''
During this passage Miss Pollard's
friends had great trouble IN preventing
her from making an outcry.
Mr.. Butterworth continued: ''How
often did you see the plaintiff III the fall
of 1852"
Occasionally, but not often. How
often l can't say"
Describing his movements in 1885,
Col. Breckenridge spoke of his connec-
ton with the Morrison bill in congress:
a barbecue given by his constituents,
aud his attendance upon Confederate
reunions.
