RHODES IN IGNORANCE.
Questions werc asked regarding the
location Of Miss PolIarL'a room at her
boarding place, with two old ladies,
while sho attended tho Sayrc Institute,
IN Lexington, evidently with the lnten-
ton OF showing that ahG might have 70.
celyed visitors at night unknown 10 tho
rest Of tho household.
Did MIR. Rhodes know OF your rela-
tiona TO Mr.. DrGckinridge?' was asked.
Indeed no did not, or Mr.. Brockin-
ridge would not have been liyinRto.day,"

worth, it WINS as bad as il sounds. And
he know 1t ALL" (RGIcrrinG to Mr..
D~rcckinridye.)
Speaking Of her lifo in Cincinnati,
when her first child was born Miss
Pollard said that she had told all sorts
OF mysterious stories to iseop DR.. Street
from suspecting her Identity. 81 took
the little room opposite the mattrcss
factory because it was inexpensive and
no could not afford 10 pay much money
Tor me" she said.
please remember tho state OF my
mind whom that article was written. |
was all but insane" she said again,
when a minor Discrepancy between her
testimony and the article %purporting 10
be hers, recently published in the New
York World, was noted. At the Nor
wood convent aho had worn q veil so
that no one but Sister Cecelia had seen
her face. During that tim0 her letters
to Colonel Breckenridge had been ad-
dressed to Margaret Dillon, Box II,
Lexington, KY"
When sho had visited thu convent
alter the suit was filed, Sister Agnes
had not ct Nrst recognized her, but be-
fore she left had said "shc has undoubt-
eddy bHen here"
did shc not tell you that you were
an immoral woman" asked Mr.. Butter
worth.
"She did not. She attempted to give
me n sort OF u lecture. She asked why
l wanted to ruin that old u in his old
age. l replied, why did he want to
ruin me in my YOUTH She said that |
ought to think OF his daughters, and |
said that he did no. have pity on me
when l was somebody's daughter, uor
on my daughter and his that he made
me give away" with, emotion.)
Mr.. ButterYorth--Did you not tell
her that this suit vas brought for re-
yeugo?
FALSE TESTIMONY.
Miss Pollard-"That is as false az
words can be framed. ! told her that l
wanted him to bear his share Of the re.
spoaslbilitv in this matter, and that /
would 90 through the world carrying
my own share, but l would not bear all
the burden he had placed upon me. l
believe that there is Il principle behind
this matter. l believe that justice will
no done, aad l believe that these men
Cunning TO tho jury will help to see it
DONE"
When Mr.. Butterworth asked some
question about money matters, Miss
Pollard enid he only effort at the time
referred to, as it always had been, was
to conceal her relations with Mr.. Brock
inridge.
Mr.. INSTRUMENTATION have not dono
anything as 4 free and independent
agent since you passed under his con-
trol?"
Shaking hor head, with 4 faint smile,
the answer came II don't believe | ever
have"
Mr.. Butterworth was asking Miss Pol
lard about her ambitions for the future
IN those early years, when ahc said:
81 know | was TO always be in Mr..
BrOckiuridgo's life because the night
before l left Tor the Norwood asylum, he
made mo promise TO give my child
away. lie said that ii he was ever able
to marry mo he would, and that ii no
could not marry me, he would keep me
in his life always"
For two years when she was first in
Washington, she had met Mr.. Breckin-
ridge three or four times q week in q
house on Fourth street. She had spent
one summer ut Bread Loaf Inn, in Yer.
mont, n semi-fashionable resort ten
miles from Middlcbury, kept by Joseph
Bat,ell.
She denied having represented her.
self IS an authoress OF reputation. She
had met there n woman named Mrs.
Bridges, OF Brooklyn, "the n who
wrote the article in the Standard Union"
What articlo?" asked Mr.. Butter
worth.
Tho one rot are leading up to-" THE
article in question was ono which ap-
pcared Saturday.
"was the article truc?" was the next
question.

suit events. 1t is not true That l HAYS
