Ard Grows Eloquent in Describ-

Closing Remarks of Colonel Thompson
Judge Bradley Orders the Court
Room Cleared of Applauders.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE local de-
mand for oratory was largely satisfied to-
day by the finish of Col Philip Thompson's
speech in the Pollard-Breckinridge trial
and the beginning of plea by Maj. Ben
jamin Butterworth, another ex-member of
Congress. Although Major Butterworth
talked more than half OF the day he
progressed no further than the first rela-
tons between his client and Madeline Pol
lard. back in 1854 His whole argument was
devoted to the point that the young woman
had not been the pure and unsophisticatsd
girl of seventeen when the silver-haired
Colonel met her that she had represented
herself to be. 1t was a strong display OF
oratory. There was an interesting incident
during the morning when Judge Bradley
carried into execution the threat he made
several times OF clearing the room OF spec
tators. Mr.. Butterworth had been paint
ing glowingly the virtues of his client,
whose friendship he had enjoyed for many
years, and was declaring dramatically
that no man to whom Ben Butterworth had
been friend in his prosperity would be
deserted by him in adversely, when several
men broke into applause The Judge inn
mediately ordered all who were not mem-
bers of the bar to leave the court room.
When court opened to-day Col. Philip
Thompson resumed his speech against Miss
Pollard. He first commented on the i'm
probability of the formal proposal of mar
riage from Colonel Breckenridge to the
plaintiff in the fall of 1892. and declared her
story was the act of bawd, OF woman
who felt that If she could not marry him
she could disgrace him. In his vehement
way the Colonel pictured what must have
been the agony of the Congressman with
the plaintiff following him around and COM
pelling him to tell Mrs. Blackburn that
they were to be married. "She was a
walking arsenal" said the lawyer again.
Talk about Kentucky colonels and turning
up coat tails here in this courthouse TO see
If there were pistols. Did you see the look
on the womans face when she came into
this courthouse? Why, l was afraid to sit
beside the Colonel for fear a stray bullet
might hit me-" Colonel Thompson closed
with an appeal to the jury to return ver-
dict according to the law and testimony.

SUIT FOR $500. 900.
Complications Growing Out of the
Transfer of the Mesaba Railway.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the long and intricate series
of transactions by which the control of the
Mesaba road and the mines of the Mesaba
range was lost to Duluth and passed into
the hands of j. d. Rockefeller, of New
York, through the agency of c. W. Wet
more is likely to be cleared up by a suit
which was begun i'm the District Court in
the name of Alfred and Leonidas Merritt
against G. w. Wetmore and the American
Steel Barge Company. The complaint al
leges that in January, 1S93 the Merritts,
who were large owners of the stock of the
Mesaba railroad, Joined with Wetmore TO
buy $S,OOO.OO0 of stock. Wetmore furnished
the money and the plaintiffs purchased the
stock and delivered to Wetmore four nom
negotiable promissory notes for 100000.
The notes were TO be due July 80, 1893 To
secure the notes the Merritts pledged to
Wetmore these 5000 shares of stock and
other railroad shares and iron company
shares worth 1854 266. In February, 1893,
Wetmore advanced $l32575 more, with
which they purchased 2,651 additional shares
in the railway, executing to Wetmore a
nonnegotiable note for that amount, due
Feb. T. 1894, giving the shares collateral
security. The aggregate value of the rail-
road stock bought by them with the money
advanced by Wetmore was S565, 100, for
which they paid $4S2.575. In April, 1893. Wet
more, in violation of his agreement, de-
tached from the notes $3.50 shares of rail-
road stock. for which the Merritts had paid
$i32,575, and pledged it to John ID. Rookie
feller as security for a debt of his own.
In another similar deal for raising money
bonds were pledged, and later Wetmore re-
fused TO return the other $4,000 of bonds.
He has not yet accounted for them, but
converted the bonds to his own use on
April 80, 1898, after he had pledged the stock
TO Rockefeller and converted $4,000 of the
bonds to his own use, he transferred the
five nonnegotiable notes and the remaining
stocks collateral thereto to the American
Steel Barge Company. During this time
Wetmore the vice president and chief
manager OF the barge company, and the
defendant knew that Wetmore was violat-
ing his agreement, and had no right to
make the transfer. The stocks transferred
TO the barge company were converted into
II 53I shares of Lake Superior consolidated
iron mines stocks, worth 100000 Plaintiffs
accordingly pray for judgment in 100000.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE trial of Charles

death Wheeler endeavored to induce the
Doctor to put his mother-in-law out of the
way, suggesting the of poison. Wheel

Mrs. Crons money. Wheeler Indignantly
denies the story. The prosecution claims
that Goodrich was one of the trio of bur-
glars who. in attempting to rob Mrs. Cron,
killed her and then fired the house. Wheel
er shot TO death one of the fleeing bur-
glars. DR.. Ebert admitted. cross-exam-
