Judge Bradley Tells the At

WASHINGTON, March Is. 3.-Brotherly
love and almost deferential politeness
was the spirit which prevailed in the in-
tercourse Of the attorneys in the Poi
lard-Breckinrldge case all day. Like
flash of lightning the blow from the
hand of Col. Shelby. of Kentucky, the
night before, had cleared the surcharged
atmosphere of its anger. While there
was much discussion among lawyers
upon the point whether Attorney w.
j. Johnson'S words furnished provoca-
ton for the physical resentment which
Col. Shelby offered, every one seemed
glad to have the trouble smoothed over,
as it was by Judge Bradley's course in
disinissing it with an expression of re-
gret. Another aspect of the affair r
which the judge referred to had caused
much talk in the city over night, that
was the probability of continuation of
hostiiltles with weapons other than
fists. So serious was the expectation of
trouble that detail of eight uniformed
policemen were sent to the court house
by the chief OF police before the hour
of the trial. The officers were dismissed
by Marshal Wilson, but two members

acting upon it, and some of Col. Breck-

armed. and after he had called their at
tention to the local law against carrying
concealed weapons there was an un-
usual court room scene, each lawyer
rising to formally purge his hip pockets
OF the suspicion which popular humor
attaches to Kentucky gentlemen. Apart
from these accessories of the case, W hich
drew large audience of members of
the bar interested to know the punish
ment which they thought Judge Bradley
would impose for the tilt of the previous
evening, the day was uneventful. Miss
Pollard failed to appear at all, being in
a state OF great nervous excitement, her
friends said. Her presence was not
essential. as most of the Gay was con-
sumed in reading a long deposition, after
Wiircn Sister Cecilia. of Pueblo, Col,
was called to identify the mysterious
volumes Of Irving, by which 1t is ex-
pected to prove that Miss Pollard gave
birth to a child in the Norwood convent,
near Cincinnati. in 1854 or 1885. The
first contested point of Importance, the
motion of the defendant to exclude GER
tain af1davits, was decided in his favor,
at which he seemed greatly encouraged.
TIE ROUTINE REPORT.
WASHINGTON, March 13. - Such
gathering of lawyers as today filled the
circuit court, where the Pollard Breck-
inridge case is Oh trial, has seldom been
seen in Washington. Members of the
local bar crowded the place to see what
sentence Judge Bradley would mete out
to the visiting Kentuckians who had
made a pugilistic assault upon Miss
Poliard's attorneys the night before.
Within the recollection of the court
officials there had been no instance of a
resort to fisticuffs by practitioners be-
fore the local bar. Col. Breckinrldge,
smiling as usual. was shaking hands
with his cousin. Gen. Joseph Breckin-
ridge. when Judge Bradley took his
seat on the bench. Impressive silence
followed the roll call of jurors, the judge
seeming to wait for explanations from
the lawyers. Then he said: II notice
the papers have laid out course of pro-
cedure for me to follow regarding an
occurrence just outside the court room,
after the court had adjourned yesterday
evening, which the court did not see,
and which the parties concerned in it
probably regret as much as the court
does. 1t Is not matter of which the
court can take official notice. As was
past the hour for adjournment when
the plaintiffs counsel had finished
L
some evidence of excitement on the
part of the defendants counsel, l
thoughtit best to adjourn the court,
thinking that after night of thought
over the connection in which certain
words had been used the counsel might
look upon them differently. Had the
troubles referred to taken place in court,
tt;wouId have hean tho
DUTY OF RHE COURT
to take judicial notice of it, and he
would have done so promptly" Then,
after brief pause, Judge Bradley pro-
ceeded: "There is another matter about
which l deem it my duty to speak. The
court has received information that
some of the gentlemen representing the
defendant have come into the court
room armed. There is law for the
punishment of the offense of carrying
concealed weapons, not as stringent as
l wish it was. This is a law-abiding
community. the courts are adequate to
protect citizens. and, as such conduct is
uncalled for, it is most reprehensible. If
the court has information adequate, he

Here Mr.. Butterworth rose, stating
that he had never carried weapon,
and thought the counsel should he
given an opportunity to enter disclaim-
ers, as lie would regret the occurrence
of such breach of order as much as the
court.
Mr. Shelby, Col. Breckinridge's part
ner, said he had never carried weapon
in his life. Mr.. McKenney followed with
a similar statement. Mr.. Stoll declared
that he had never entsfed the presence
of court armed, and then Mr.. Thomp-
son remarked;
LAS | am the only one left, will enter
a disclaimer also"
. Mr.. Carlisle rose to say that he wished
