an agreement to have herself set right
with Mai. Moore, she said: mo, no, no.

Maj, Shelby interrupted with ''art is
long, but time is fleeting. Please confine
yourself to the question"
But l must get in, and Miss Pollard
tried TO resume, and for few seconds
there was n constant interchange between
Maj. Shelby and herself, Miss Pollard
talking very rapidly.
You must let me tell about these
dreadful things" she cried, almost on the
verge Of tears. "Do not interrupt me,n
but she was interrupted.
HOW SHE GOT TO HIS ROOM.
In telling of how she managed to go to
Col Breckinridge's room every night
during his residence at Miss Hoyt's,
passing through Miss Hoyt's room, down
the stairway, through another room and
up another stairway, Miss Pollard saw
| Col Breckenridge lean over and say some
thing to Mai. Shelby. Don't interrupt,
please, she said imperiously; and then
ratified on with her story. She
would go to Col. Breckinridge's room
every night when he came in. "He al
ways slammed the door to let me know"
she said. ITO prevent a mistake he al
ways slammed 1t twice Then / would say
to Belle (the girl with whom she slept),
that / was not sure about thatl last lesson,
and would then go TO Col. Breckinridge's
ROOM

mouy, and Mr., Carlisle announced:
"If your honor please, the plaintiff sub
mits her rebuttal."
The defense Immediately called Mrs.
| Susan LidAe, the ex-matron of the Wash
ington founding asylum, who testified
| yesterday about the child brought to the
asylum with the name "Diet2 Downing"
pinned to its dress. Mrs. Lidie said she
| had seen Aunt Mary on the stand this

| that brought the child to the asylum. but
to the next question she said she had not
seen the woman at the time. The woman
| who brought the child said her name was
| Charlotte Thomas.
Cross examined, Mrs Lidie said that
! the woman who brought the child was
very black. so she had been told, and to
the best of her knowledge she would
swear that old Aunt Mary was not the
woman.
Then Col. Breckenridge was recalled,
and proceeded TO deny statements of Miss
! Pollard and witnesses in her behalf. He
said he had not given Miss Pollard the
ribbon with which to trim the little work
basket, as Miss Pollard had said, but he
! he had ever told Mary Yancey,
that he and Miss Pollard were
! 'going to housekeeping in the fall, " Judge
Wilson obiecting on the ground that Col
! Breckinridge had already denied that
statement. He denied that Miss Pollard
was ever in his room at Mrs. Hoyt's to
/ his knowledge, and also that Miss Louise
| Lowell, the capitol typewriter had writ
ten a letter for him in which he made
reference to manuscript sent for
| criticism.
That's all" said Mai. Shelby and the
| great case of Pollard VS.. Breckenridge.
so far as the giving of evidence is con-
! cerned, was ended.
After an agreement that both sides
should present prayers and arguments for
| instructions to the jury tomorrow morn
| ing, the court adjourned.
