The Verdict.

The Pollard-Breck trial ended,
Saturday, in verdict for the plaintiff,
awarding her $4,000 damages. Pub
lie opinion approves the verdict, in
every community in the land not de-
bauched by the Kentucky idea of NOR
atty, as developed by the defendants
lawyers in their arguments to the jury
and by Mrs. Bullitt, the rich society
woman of Louisville.
The arguments of counsel occupied
the principal part of the last week of
the trial. In opening for the plaintiff,
Mr.. Carlisle made a candid and unimpas-
stoned review of the evidence, strong
in its clear statement of the case, ele-
waited in tone, and forceful and con-
vincing in its argument. In marked
and revolving contrast was the vulgar
harangue of Colonel Thompson for the
defendant. He dropped at one plunge
to the low moral level of his client.
All men are moral lepers, he argued.
Colonel Breckenridge differed from his
fellowmen only in the fact that his sin
had found him out. The imputa!ion
of evil lives lived by all mankind was
80 outrageous as to draw from Judge
Bradley merited rebuke in his charge
to the jury. Major Butterworth, fol-
lowing Colonel Thompson for the de-
Tense, was hardly less indecent in his
efforts to pile upon the head of young
woman in her teens his white haired
clients loathsome burden of falsehood,
hypocrisy, uncleanness, marital inidel-
ity, and beastly forgetfulness of dead
wife's memory. Judge Wilson, clos
ing for the plaintiff, tore to tatters
the piebald fabric Thompson and
Butterworth had woven round their
client, and revealed him to the world
in all his moral depravity. 1t was a
pitiless and unsparing, but just and nee
essary, exposure of human depravity.
1t was also an eloquent and chivalrous
championship of the rights of woman
hood, in misfortune or dishonor, to stand
on a level with manhood. He de-
manded that the libertine's crimes
shall not be condoned and the criminal
clothed again with high honors, while
the area gate and the basement door
are locked and barred against his COM
panion in sin. " This defendant"
said Judge Wilson in conclusion,
" comes before jury to vilify, traduce
and blacken the character. of the woman
he had destroyed. In these days the
law has provided javelin, not the
javelin of the servants of Abraham,
but your verdict. BY that this wrong
is to be repaired; no other way now.
Before you the woman comes as the law
says she shall, and what will you do?
l invite you, as my last words, to i'm
pale him, hold him aloft, that the world
may be warned, and justice will cry,
Amen, and amen.'"
