the controversy caused the congress-

ter.
After the moor recess a deposition
by James A. Ely, once clerk of the
circuit court of Fayette county, was
read. He remembered that Breckin-
ridge had been engaged in a case on
November 90, 90 and "a, 1887, and at
the unveiling of the statue OF John c.
Breckenridge at Lexington, Septem-
Der l6, 1887.
The deposition of Sister Mary Haya-

that her memory was very bad,
showed that she could not remember
that Madeline Pollard had attended
the Notre Dame convent at Reading.

superior in 1888.
The deposition of William G.. Wood,
a carpenter of Lexington, was read.
Wood was engaged to Miss Pollard in
1882, but when he told her he
could not take her upon a trip to
Europe she broke the engagement and
threw at him the ring he had given
her. He did not know her age then,
but considered her young woman.
The reading of Alex Julian's depo-
sitiOn and cross examination closed
the days proceedings. Julian is the
blind man whose adventure with Miss
Pollard at country frolic on Christ

numerous publications since the open

and at high water will be covered by
