fendant to his own attorneys for re-
direct examination. Mr.. ButterwOrth
drew out the colonel on the c0nversa-
tions between himself and Miss Pollard
regarding their marriage. She had told
him, he said, that she had no friends,
that her only
INTIMATE GIRL FRIENDS
had gone insane, his wife was dead and
there was nothing to prevent him from
marrying her. He replied to this with
some anger, and she had said that il lie
would change his tone she would retire
from society, give up trying to 60 in so
clety, and be his mistress, take care 0f
his room and do his typewriting. He
had told her that under the circuiE-
anceS she wdS the last person who
could do his typewriting. She had in
sisted that she would hot leave him, but
would go wherever he went. Then they
mad walked together to house on Ill
street which they had Deen accustomed
to visit. His anger had cooled. He sat
down; she sat on the floor with her arm
on his knee. and they talked far INTO the
night. she saying that she did not care
if there was scene there. He had told
her that after their relations he could
not marry her: that 10 man c0uldtee
expected to marry woman with whvm
he had improper relations unless he had
seduced her.
You know have not seduced YOU
said, and Col. Breckinridge continued,
''Stie urged nc 10 marry her Oh account
OF those very relatlQfls. l said i can't
afford to put jim Rirues' mistress and
my mistress at the head of my table.
She threw up tine window and said she
wonid scream. just then some one
raped at the door, and said we were
making great deal OF noise: that my
voice was peculiar, and there was all
| other member of congress in the house
WHO might recognize it," Laughter.
Col. Breckenridge smiled and coniin
ued: II did not care to know who he
| was"
This narrative was objected to by Mr..
Wilson, and Judge Bradley said ne
knew no reason for repeating 1t. The
| defense conteuded that the particular
| ak had not been given before and
JUDGE BRADLEY REMARKED
| that the substance Of it had Ueen. that
| several of the expressions were very
| familiar to him. Mr.. ButterwOrth ac-
| knOwiedged that the matter was not
! good for the public, but that Mr.. Wilson
| had endeav0rpd to prove that the de-
| fendant'S course had been brutal toward
| the young woman, and it was due that
he should be allowed to make explana-
| tiOn. but the matter was uot pressed.
| The attorneys had no more witnesses
Oh hand. the cross examiilEtion having
ended, as Mr.. Shelby sale, somewhat
unexpectedly. SO they asked for an ad-
| jouInment an hour earlier than usual.
| Mr. Wilson offered to occupy the time
| with some of his witnesses for rebuttal.
but the defense declined the offer. and
| the Judge said that he would cOncede
| the request not to continue the case to-
| day. although it had already consumed
more time than it should have done.
IF the parties to this case would like
to 20 out first they may do so, and will
keep the crowd back" said Judge
Bradley, as the people began TO stir
| from their seats.
Accordingly Miss Pollard, with her
attorneys. followed by the silvery-
haired Kentuckian and his legal forces.
filed through the little door between the
judge and jury. Several men made !,
| rush from their seats after them. Judge
| Bradley'S cheeks flushed and he raped
the desk iercely.
Court has not adjourned" he
shouted above the bustIing. "Take
your seats there" Then. pointing to
one conspicuous offender, who was half
way across the room with his hat on. he
said sternly: Take off your hat there
1 anu 20 Ddck where you came from.
Take your seats" ~
AS the men relapsed into their chairs,
the judge struck his desk again. declar-
ing in the sterneSt tones: "Tnis morbid
| curiosity. which has been manifested
since the beginning of this suit, is per-
| tectly disgusting. The court corridors
have been crowded, the egreSs mas been
crowded, and L understand that the
| sidewalks in front of the offices of the
counsel have been crowded, showing a
| prurlent eagerneSS to see the parties to
this suit. They seem to forget that
some one besides the parties to the SUITS
are on trial here. The spectators have
been on trial for their decency, and
they have been found guilty of indecent
! conduct. These men who come here
| day after day remind me of buZzards
! sitting on fence waiting for sick
horse to die; waiting for pile of car
rlon." Then, turning to the crier, he
commanded: "Adjonrn the court" +"
and strobe out,pushing his way through
the halls and across the street in a
| crowd of several hundred men and
women waiting 10 catch glimpse of
Madeline Pollard and Congressman
| Breckinridge.
