 WASHINGTON, March 9.-The hearing of the Pollard Breckenridge suit was resumed in the district court this morning. Miss Pollard was one of ths first to appear. accompanied by two elderly ladies. Though subjected to a constant stare from the throng which filled tne court room, she seemed per fectly at ease.
 Col. Breckenridge came in later. with statement from Lawyer Colderon Carlisle to the jury, reciting the position of the parties to the suit for rehearing, how Breckenridge took advantage of Miss Pollard's youth when she was school girl of 17 and under promise of marriage after the death of his then living wife, made before credi- ble witnesses, he became the fathenof her three children; how he failed to keep his promise and married another woman; how she endeavored to leave him then, but had been persuaded to continue as his mistress because of her love for him.
 During the address the plaintiff flushed crimson, trem bled violently and buried her face in her handkerchief, while Breckenridge chatted uncon- cernedly with his attorneys.
 Mrs. Julia c. Black burn, widow of the late Goternor Blackburn, of Ken lucky, was the first witness She testi- fled that in the spring of 1893, while in Washington, Col. Breckenridge brought Miss Pollard to her and asked her care and protection, adding that he intended to marry her. At another time he asked witness to allay Miss Pollard's jealousy. Mrs. Blackburn asked him if he had given her cause and declared on his honor he had not. This was when he was paying attention to Mrs. Wing of Louisville, whom he subsequently married.
 On cross examination Mrs. Blackbu said that Miss Pollard on several occe- sions bore herself like lady. As to her feeling toward Miss Pollard. she said she felt sorry for any woman con- pelled to fight her own battles, adding as she turned with flashing eyes toward Breckenridge, 'Just the sorrow I feel at being compelled to appear here when if I had the defense of a husband lb WOulu u6N6I ldft Dccu
 In 1892, Ere ,kenridge called upon the witness, he said, at Miss Polard's re- quest, to correct reports concerning the latter and asserted that there could be no scandal attached to Miss Pollard's name, since for a long time after coming to Washington she had remained in convent. Ms. Fillette, the witness stated, had sad that Miss Pollard WAS forward, taking undue liberties in the houses of her friends, saying that Miss Pollard had invited Charles Dudley Warner to her (Mrs. Fillette's) house without permission.
 When Miss Pollard came to tell her of Col. Breckenridge's attentions to Mrs. Wing, Mrs. Blackburn advised her if she had any self respect to drop him. On his next visit Col Breckenridge de- clared sternly, alphabetically, and ire tions to other women were the work of miserable gossips. Mrs. Black burn ex- tended to Miss Pollard more protection than she otherwise would because Breckenridge asked her and she be- lieved him to be a gentleman.
 Mai. Moore. chief of police of the Dis- trict oi Colum bia, took the stand. He first met Miss Pollard, accompanied by Breckenridge, in his office on May 13. 1893. He said the door was suddenly thrown open and Breckenridge came in followed by a lady. "He said," said the witness, The might have to ask my protection as lady had threatened his life. She demanded that he should promise to marry her. She seemed ex- cited and demanded that he name 8 day and he named May 31, 1893. He said he would marry her then if provi- dence spared his life. The witness warned Miss Pollard that she must not make threats against Col. Brecken- ridges life as the police would deal
