whether SuG read any Impure books.
Here Judge Wilson, of Miss Pollard's
counsel interfered, and said the ques-
tions being put were so far remote from
the main question involved that he felt
called on to ask a discontinuance of them
and return to matters brought out by
the examination in chief
BUTTERwORTH's OBJECT.
Il have just one word to saw said Mr.
ButterwOrth. This plaintiff has in
every possible way put forward the claim
of the purity of her character. She has
surrounded herself with an atmosphere
OF purity It's the manner, the soul of
this issue "
Mr. Butterworth said other things in
the same line and was finally asked by
Judge Bradley whether he had concluded
this line Mr.. Butterworth said he had,
but the next question was so much like
the other that Judge Wilson arose and
protested. In the course of his remarks
he said something about a young girls
character depending on the individual in
whose way she might have been placed.
He made some reference to that indlvid-
ual having a silvery tongue" and the
audience laughed. Judge Bradley threat
ened to clear the court room if such dem
onstrations happened again.
SOME OF HER ACQUAINTANCEs.
Mr.. Butterworth asked Miss Pollard if
she knew certain persons-Dr. Greene,
Mr.. Stout, Aleck Julian and others in
Bridgeport. Ky. She said she did not
know any of them except Aleck Julian
and @. B. Roach. Mr.. Julian, she said,
was the man she referred to in the Wes-
sic Brown letter as My blind sweet
heart, my modern Barnabas." He was a
school teacher and she liked him very
much. But he did not like me-" said
Miss Pollard. in explanation and with a
note of surprise in her voice. He liked
my sister very much liked him-he
did not like me-
MIR. Julian is the witness who has made
a deposition that he and Miss Pollard
went through the form of a mock mar
Tiage, and that she suggested being in
toXicated at the time-that it was Gus
tomary for married people to go to bed
together.
DO you recollect going through the
form of a marriage with Mr.. Julian ?"
was Mr. Butterworth s next question.
mot the slightest on earth, Mr. But
terworth," said Miss Pollard earnestly.
4 have not the slightest recollection
of It,"
UNABLE TO RECOLLECT THE MARRIAGE.
Miss Pollard was asked to describe a
visit to the house of a Justice of the peace
at Bridgeport, Ky, with Aleck Julian.
Miss Pollard did recoIect; she said
she went there enc Christmas
day while visiting her Uncle
George at Bridgeport. There was
quite a party there ''Of course, [ have
seen these references in the papers to a
mock marriage at Squire Kinsey's house" >"
said Miss Pollard, but I assure you 1
know nothing of it. 1t could not have
happened. for my uncle George was there
and uncle George was dreadfully strict.
Mr. Kinsey and his wife and all his daugh-
ters were there. 1t could not have hap
pened. l have no recollection of it"
Miss Pollard said her visit to Squire
Kinsey's was on invitation from the
squire to her uncle and his family, includ-
ing herself, to come there and drink egg
nog. They went there early Christmas
morning. She drank too much eggnOg
and il made her feel sick, so she went
home. Mr.. Julian was there, but she
persisted in her statement that there had
been no mock marriage with him.
A CHARGE OF FORGERY.
Mr.. Butterworth handed Miss Pollard
a letter with deep black border and
asked her if she had written it. She
read it carefully and then dramatically.
pronOuncing every word distinctly, she
said: Il did not write that letter. | did
not write it, however much it may look
like my hand writing. did not write it,
and no one can know it so well as the man
who is sitting there. An expert has done
this letter"
"Now, Miss Pollard, don't talk that
way" said Judge Wilson.
THE VISIT TO WESLEYAN.
''When Mr. Breckenridge came to see
you at the Wesleyan seminary the first
time, did ne say anything about having
any business in COyington," asked Mr.
ButterwoCth.
mo sir he said he had come to see me
emphasizing every word and he almost
oyerpoWered me with glance as he said
so"
Mr.. Butterworth and Miss Pollard
went all over the ground, covered so
fully in her previous testimony, about
the call of Col BreCkinridge at Wesleyan
College to see her about the trouble with
Mr. Rhodes, how he turned aside a ques-
tion on that subject and said: Lets
talk about you; how he took you driving
in closed carriage on hot night, TO
talk over Rhodes claim, etc, etc" In
the carriage Col. Breckenridge made free
with her until she took alarm, but after
wards he fattered her until her conf
deaCe returned.
Then you met him the next morning
at the public library in Cincinnatil' said
Mr.. Butterworth
"Yes. he met me there, and said that
that was no place to talk over the Rhodes
matter, and suggested that we go to the
house of a lady friend. We went there
in street car
1T proved to be the assignation house
of Mrs. Rosel'
''N es, sir. -
you were ushered into the parlor?
How long did you stay there before you
went anywhere else,'
Several hours. How long was it, Mr.
Breckinridgel" she asked, looking at the
defendant.
A buzz from the spectators followed
this, but it was Immediately quieted.
Mr. Butterworth continued until recess
questioning Miss Pollard upon the de
tails of her experience in the Cincinnati
and Lexington assignation houses.
HER RELATIONS WITH ROsELL.
After recess Mr. Butterworth again
took up Miss Pollards engagement to
Rosell and endeavored to learn what de-
gree of loyer-like familiarity existed be-
tween them.
IN one of her answers Miss Pollard
made some reference to Resell as ian in
ternal revenue collector
What do YOU mean by that" asked
Mr.. ButterwOrth.
You know, said Miss Pollard, smil-
ing for the first time.
II don't know" said the lawyer.
