THAT DIRTY CASE.
1t Consumes Time and Holds the
Attention of This Country.
4How ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

That nasty Pollard Breckenridge
case continues to be the topic of
the day. The plaintiffs testimoney
except the rebuttal reserve has
gone before the jury, and Mr.. Shell
by has stated the side of the de-
fense, denying all the allegations
of plaintiff, and depositions for the
defense are being read, reserving
the testimony of the lver-tongued
accused to close his side of the
case. With the evidence of the
plaintiff a strong and damaging
case has been made out, and if the
testimony adduced is true Rreck-
inridge is certainly a vile sinner,
and no punishment is too severe.
He has posed as one of the bright
est and purest of men, and only a
demon of the blacklist type could
nave acted as he has been proven.
Divers reports have gone out as
to the once mighty man" that he
is weary and stopped, appearing
years older than when the case was
called; that his mind is almost de-
throned, and that he may not be
able to take the witness stand in
his own behalf and withstand the
severe cross examination of the
plaintiff. No Kentuckian, proud
of his nativity, delights in the fall
of any distinguished citizen, Meth
er do they tolerate the stains Of
sin in high or low places, and they
will, with abated breath, pitying
rather than censuring, await the
results of this unparalleled case.
