which had been pinned to The child's
clothing.
Mary Mckenzie, a middle aged
colored woman, testified that the
baby spoken of was born at her
house on Seventh street; that the
mother was called "Mrs. Hall';
that DR.. Parsons attended her and
she had accompanied Doctor Par
sons to the asylum where the child
was placed. She never saw Mr..
Breckenridge, but said she recog
med him by the child looking
directly at the gray haired congress-
man. The defendant did not care
to cross examine Aunt Mary.
Mrs. Marie Miner, who keeps a
fashionable boarding house at La
fayette Square, brought to the stand
her account book which showed that
Miss Pollard had arrived at her
house August 81, 1892, the day on
which the plaintiff claims Col.

ject of marriage after the death of
his wife.
Attorney Carlisle then testified
that he had discovered the Christmas
card containing the inscription,
accomplishments w. S. d., at Nor
word convent; that its edges were
not turned up or ourled, and that
no one else had handled the book
from the time the party reached the
convent to the time Of finding the
card but himself.
