MISS POLLARD PASSES The lie.
Continued from page 1.

between the adjoining room and his
room ajar. In the next room he saw
Miss Pollard only half dressed and
looking apparently as If she had just
awakened.
"She demanded of me. somewhat inn
periously," he said, where had been
for two day days. She had been waiting
for me since Saturday april 29). re-
piled, somewhat more rudely than
should, perhaps, that it was not her
concern where 1 had been. She said
she intended to know. Meantime / had
walked back toward my room, and as I
turned she had pistol leveled ut me,
about the distance OF the room, and she
was rushing toward me. l pulled the
door to and turned the catch, so that it
would be impossible for her to get sc me
with her pistol"
IT married my kinswoman, the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Robert Scott, OF kentucky,
and the widow of Mr.. Cumsey Wing,
young kentucky gentleman who died
abroad" said Colonel Breckenridge, in
acknowledging his secret marriage on
April 80.
In the fall Of 1890 there was an under
standing between the plaintiff and
myself by which she WAS to leave Wash
ington. When 1 returned from my cam
paign service I found that she had
changed her mind and had obtained a
place in the census bureau.
"Did you do anything to help her to
raise herself?"
1.-The plaintiff knew to be q woman
OF very considerable talent. l felt en-
ragged with her to some extent through
my belief in her statement that she had
an unfortunate mi carriage caused by
me, and did what l could to help her.
In the fall Of 1890 l told her that I
thought we should separate; no good
could come out Of our wrongful rela-
tions, and only scandal and her de-
struction, and possibly mine, would re-
sult unless she left Washington.
Every one Of my arrangements to
prevent scandal, said Colonel Breckin.
ridge, continuing, twas put an end to
by her declaration that she would not
leave Washington. She went away sew
eral times, each time with the under
standing that the parting betwoen us
was final, but each time she returned,
saying che intended to demand Of me
the support which l owed her and that
she would remain and make me support
her.
Breckenridge never appeared in pub
lie with Miss Pollard save once. He was
on his way to deliver lecture when he
met her going to her homo She was
in company with young man, and the
three went together.
Resuming his testimony after recess,
Colonel breckenridge denied, as stated
by Miss Pollard, that he was concealed
in room in Miss Hoyt's house in Jan
uary, 1885, when Miss Pollard, as she
says, broke her engagement with
Rankin Resell. II never even heard of
Mr.. Rosell," he said, "until 1 saw his
name in the Wessie Brown letter. l was
never in Miss Hovt's house until / went
there to look at vacont room for rent
in March, 1885"
AT this stage there was another dra-
matte scene. Despite Wilson's objec
tion Breckinridge said Rhodes told him
events had occurred to make it neces-
sary for him to marry Miss Pollard.
II told the plaintiff frequently" said
breckenridge, that she certainly was
bound in gratitude and by q nearer tie
to marry Rhodes, AMI that she ought to
marry him"
Miss Pollard rose in her chair and
tried to shake off Mr.. Carlisle when he
attempted to pull her down. Her eyes
were full of tears and il a broken voice
she said, not very loud, but loud enough
to be heard throughout the courtroom:
VI say he never did," she cried; hes
not telling the truth about anything"
Ssh b b" said Mr.. Carlisle.
Keep quiet Miss Pollard" said
Judge Bradley, "or I'll have to send
you out"
Colonel Breckinridge watched the
little scene cody and calmly and when
Miss Pollard had settled down he re.
peated what he testified no had said to
Rhodes.
Describing what happened after his
return to Washington, Colonel Breckin-
ridge told Of Miss Pollard's call on him
at the house of Mrs. Wing.
Her statement that 1 said word
disrespectful to my wife and that ma
ligned her in any d. gree, is absolutely
Justification withou shadow Of truth
to justify it "
