for an exodus from the court room. The
deposition was that Of Mrs NJ A.
Ketcham, of Lexington, Ky, who knew
Miss Pollard during 1884 $3.50. when she
boarded at Mrs Ketcham's house while
attending Sayre Institute in that town.
James c. Rhodes called regularly every
three weeks at Mrs. Ketcham's house to
see Miss Pollard, and her mother came
once or twice while she was there. The
deponeut did not see any signs about Miss
Pollard that indicated that she was
about to become or had become a mother.
Mrs. Ketcham was asked if Prof.
James Lane Allen, the Kentucky novel
house, but the deponent did not remem-'
ber having seen him.
swoPE NOT A CALLER.
The reading of Mrs. Ketcham's depo-
sition was continued after the recess. 1t
was shown by the deposition that an at
tempt had been made, through questions
asked the deponent during her examina-
tion, to implicate Col Swope and other cit
liens of Lexington with Miss Pollard, but
Mrs. Ketcham's answers were all 30 the
effect that Miss Pollard had actedf in a
modest manner, as a chaste and good girl
To the knowledge of Mrs. KetCham, Col
Swope had never come to her house to
see Miss Pollard. When Miss Pollard
came to board with the deponent in 1884,
she wore dresses to the top of her shoes
and was apparently a young school girl
Mrs. Ketcham also testified that Col.
Breckenridge had a room at her house for
a snort time while Miss Pollard was
there.
AGREED TO MARRY RHODES.
Mr.. Farrell, the young lawyer for the
plaintiff from Lexington, read the deposi-
tiOn of Miss Mary +. Hoyt, sister of Mrs
Ketcham, who testified that Miss Pollard
told her that she had agreed to marry
James c.. Rhodes on condition that he
paid for her education. Miss Pollard was
absent from Lexington from July to
Sept 2, 1896, saying she had gone with
her aunt.
did you know Col. A. NJ. Swope?" was
asked the deponent.
yes"
"Did he call on Miss Pollard?"
"To my knowledge he never called
upon Miss Pollard while she was at my
house"
Miss Pollard, said the deponent, occu-
pied n down stairs room leading to the
street, but Mrs. Hoyt did not think that
Miss Pollard could have received any Wis
itors there without her knowledge. Like
her sister, Mrs Hoyt had never noticed
anything about Miss Pollard that was not
proper. Miss Pollard had left the Sayre
institute because of humiliation over the
| action of Mr.. Rhodes in telling the princi-
| pal there that he was paying her tuition
on condition that she marry him.
STORY OF THE PRINCIPAL.
The deposition of Mai H. B. McClel-
land principal of Sayre Female Institute,
where Miss Pollard was pupil, was next
read. The major produced the school
records, which showed that Miss Pollard
was absent great deal during her first
year at the scho0l-some times for a week
at time The deponent did not know of
any acquaintanceship between Col. Brock
| inridge and Miss Pollard, and he had
never seen anything about her to excite
suspicion as to her chastity

A BOMB IN THE MADELEINE.
The Man Who Carried II Killed and
Several Others Wounded.

Four Persons Arrested on Suspicion
of Being Connected With the Author
of the Explosion-Attempts Made by
the Excited Citizens TO Lynch the
Prisoners.
Paris, March 15.-At 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon bomb exploded just inside the
main door of the church of the Madeleine.
One person, supposed to be the author of
the explosion, was killed and several
others were wounded. The explosion,
which was evidently premature, mutt
lated in horrible manner the man who
was carrying the bomb. 1t is generally
believed that it was the intention of the
midst of the worshippers, who were gath
ering for the afternoon service.
Four persons have been taken into Gus
tody on suspicion Of being accessories of
the man who was killed. The police had
the greatest difficulty in getting their
prisoners to the station, the mob which
had gathered, making several attempts
to seize the prisoners and lynch them.
The Madeleine, or church of St Macy
Magdaline, one of the oldest places of
worship in Paris, has large congrega-
tion and is especially well attended dur
ing the devotions of the Lenten season.
The afternoon or vesper services were
about 70 begin and worshipers were rap
Idly filling the edifice when the explosion
occurred.
STORY OF THE ABBE.
Abbe lie Rebourse, who is attached to
the church of the Madeleine, was stand
ing near the inner swinging doors when
the explosion occurred. His version
man carrying the bomb had
passed through the main entrance
with the stream of worshipers who were
pouring into the church and was about to
pass the swinging doors. He had his
hands in his coat pockets. One of the
doors released by person passing
through rebounded violently, and struck
the man on the arm The blow caused
him to jerk his hand from his pocket, and
with it came the bomb, which fell upon
the floor Then came the explosion, which
hurled persons near by in all directions
When sufficient order was restored to en-
able an investigation to be made, the
body of the man who had carried the
bomb was found lying just outside the
swinging doors.
HORRIBLY MANGLED.
His clothing had heen torn into shreds
and his entrails were protruding from a
great hole in his abdomen, the most of
which had been blown away and was
scattered about the space in the lobby,
while the walls, the floor and the cloth
ing of many who stood near were bespat-
tered with blood and fragments of the
mans flesh
Upon examination Of the horribly mu-
tilated body, a number of nails and
bits of iron with which the bomb had
been charged were found imbedded in
the flesh and in the cavity in the abdo-
men. A revolver was gripped tight in
one hand. The man was miserably clad,
and had few articles in his pockets
Upon the body was found a pocketbook,
which contained number of clippings
from newspapers, together with photo
graphs of the anarchists Ravachol, Vail
liant, Lepine, and Raynal. The men ar
rested have been arraigned before a
magistrate, and are now undergoing ex-
