WASHINGTON, d. c., March 19-The
baillffs had the utmost difficulty in
repelling the crowds who sought ad-
mission to the court room where the
Pollard breckenridge trial is in progress.
Miss Pollard was again on the stand
under direct examination.

purpose the first day." said the witness,
Sin spite Of his violent attempts, and it
was very late the second day when we

The relations then esta blished, she
averred, continued till May II, 1898,
the last time she saw Breckenridge.
1t will be remembered that this date is
subsequent to Breckenridge's marriage
to Mrs. Wing, which occurred secretly
on April 29, 1898.
Then cross examination was resumed
by Butterworth, going into minute de-
tails of the plaintiffs life to all Of
which she returned replies which could
have given no comfort to her opponents.
Butterworth asked whether she knew
much about him.
Il don't think anybody knew very
much about Col. Breckenridge until
lately" she replied.
Butterworth asked her if when she
first went there she knew the character
OF the house of Sarah Goss, in Lexing
ton, to which Col. Breckenridge took
her.
Miss Pollard replied almost in shrek

An Interesting Story Hanging Upon
the Death in This City of
Marcus A. Fry.

Following the announcement of the
death of Marcus A. Fry, recorded few
days ago, came q romance which has
just obtained publicity, the two prin-
cipal figures of which were the dead
man and young lady known as May
Alden. Fry was resident of Franklin,
Pa, and well known insurance agent
there. The object of his visit here was
relief from a pulmonary affection.
Soon after his arrival he associated
himself in the insurance business with
L. J. Wood, to whom he presented
strong testimonials from the Mutual
Life and fro n other sources.
Three weeks before he came there
arrived at the Commercial hotel a
woman young, quite pretty and of a
cast of features which suggested Span.

ing and was without means. She gave
the name OF May Alden and soon OBJ

the dressmaking establishment OF
Madam Mead and proved to be highly
skilled in her work.

was introduced by her as her cousin
She Immediately gave up her employ
ment and took lodging at the Vendome
where Fry had arranged to stop. The
relations of the pair were circumspect
as became two persons of the near de-
gree OF consanguinity professed by
them and there was no reason to sus

other as they had represented them.
selves to be.
Fry failed to obtain the relief sought
for but died ten days later. That ten
days OF illness proved the devotion ol
the young woman; her attention was
unremittlng and her solicitude for his
recovery touching. She patiently bore
the bitter fault findings of an irritable
sick man. Every personal comfort was
sacrificed for him and when at last hel
watch came to an end the watcher was
utterly worn and exhausted.

Cannon, the Favorite, Knocked Out
in Three Rounds.
The brevitv OF the Gannon-Blakey
contest last Sunday at the park was
disappointing. Cannon, the favorite,
received Knockout blow in the third
round and Blakey became light weight
champion of Arizona and owner of the
suspended purse. The fighting was not
exactly scientific but it was honest,
wicked and we'll patronized.
There were no preliminaries. Blakey
entered the ring at O'Clock followed
by his attendants and was loudly ap-
plauded As he took his seat Cannon
bounded over the ropes and was re-
ceived with applause. A hitch oc-

sination Billy Delan consented to act.
James Gibson was made time keeper.
After formal examination of the
fve-ounce gloves the gladiators were
ordered to the center of the ring and
business began.
Cannon landed with his left on the
ribs and Blakey countered on the
breast. After this they mixed. Gan
non seemed to be playing for Blakey's
wind but sacrificed his own in the
fierce onslaught and he fell to save HIM
self. At the close of the round both
were suffering from extreme fatigue
and Blakey appeared groggy.
At the opening of the second round
Cannon seemed fresh and sprang act
lively to the center. Blakev was more
deliberate, but the same hammer-and-
tongs style of fighting prevailed. Both
showed distress and it looked as if,
barring an accident in favor of one or
the other, the fight would end in this
round with draw. Blakey hit hard
on Gannon's mouth and a shower of
blood followed and Cannon fell to save
himself. He repeated the operation
during the round. At the close OF the
round Blakey lay on the ropes and
was saved only by the call of time.
Both were suffering at the beginning
of the third round and their blows
lacked force. Cannon repeated his
dropping tactics once too often, for on
rising he received an upper cut which
closed the round and the fight.
