As the evidence Of Sisters Agnes and
Augustine might have suggested to the
minds OF the jurymen the possibility
that the card had been put In the book
by Mr.. Carlisle, il was entirely proper
that the latter should be heard upon the
rsubject.
MIR. Carlisle proceeded: II am able to
answer that from the tine / took that
book from the book case until dlscoV-
cred 10 It the Christmas card
no OTHER HAND BUT NINE
and that Of Sister Agnes touched it.
was looking for handwriting in the
book or some other marks OF identln-
cation. While / was handling IL l
found between the leaves this Christ
mas card, which did not have its edges
turned up or curled and had on IL the
/ handwriting which you have seen;
compliments of w. S. D." There was
also the Invisible net aud the pressed
/ rose leaves. When I found them my
client was sitting In an opposite corner
OF the room aud my colleague Mr..
/ johnson was some distance away.
| No one but myself could have put
/ those things between the leaves OF the
/ book while our party was there, ana
/ say 70 you gentlemen, on my oath that
/ / did not do 10"
Mr. Carlisle's evidence was fortified
/ by the testimony of Attorney johnson,
/ who had accomD panied him 70 the con-
vent.
/ Then Miss Pollard once more took the
/ witness stand and made denial that she
/ had ever known Mollie Shingleoower,
/ Lena Singleton, John Brandt or Hiram
/ Kaufman, all of whom had deposed that
/ she had been an inmate OF house or Ill
repute 10 Lexington. She had never
heard OF Sarah Guess until taken TO her
\ house by Col. Breckenridge, had never
sustained
/ IMPROPER RELATIONS WITH RHODES
nor led Breckinridge to believe that
/ such relations had existed. She had not
accepted money from the defendant at
/ the time OF her alleged seduction. Miss
\ Pollard also de- led In all its details the
story of the mock marriage between her
ard Owen Tinsley on Christmas day,
| 1883.
Miss Pollard said: 81 never was sep
arated from Mr.. Breckinridge day
/ during the nine years that l was in his
\ life, but, ." when she was stopped by oo-
/ isctions from the defense. She received
/ the letters addressed TO My Dear Sis
\ ter Louise" and was In his room every
night he was under Mrs. Hoyt's roof.
| She had never at any time presented a
pistol at his head. There was no un-
| derstanding that she should deceive
I Mrs. Blackburn or that she should false
/ " represent to Major Moore that she
was 10 be married. Colonel Breckin-
ridge saw her use the work basket many
times, and said he was
GLAD TO SEE HER USE IT.
With Miss PoHard's retirement from
the stand the plaintiffs rebuttal closed.
Then came in Surrebuttal Mrs. Liddie,
the matrOn Of the Washington Found
ling Asylum, who made relatively un-
important denial as 10 the cOlored Wo-
man who brought the child TO the
asylum. Then Colonel Breckinridge re-
appeared as a witness aud denied that
be had told the COlOred woman, Mary
/ Yancey, that be waited her 70 cook for
| them when they got to housekeeping;
I that Miss Pollard was ever TO his
/ knowledge In his room at Mrs. HOytS.
This ended the testimony, 20 the re-
| lief OF every body, for 10 had been
/ drawn out in tireSome way for several
days The attorneys arranged 10 sub
NIT their requests for instructions by
the court 70 the jury on the legal as
I pee Is of the case tomorrow, aud then
the jury was excused until Monday.
