This ended the testimony of Mr.. Rossell,
and the deposition of Hiram Kaufman, BUTCHER,
of Lexington, KY. was taken up by Attorney
Stoll.
Mr. Kaufman had known Miss Pollard when
she lived in Lexington in 1883 Kaufman
said that he was living between an assigna-
ton house and bawdy house. There were
some words, not cusiomarily heard in the
best society in this statement. but with the
consent of Judge Bradley the lawyer sub
stituted milder term. Once he had visited
the assignation house with jim Rhodes. jim
had said. Il want you to see my girl" Miss
Pollard was there and had sat on Rhodes
lap and Rhodes had hugged and kissed her.
On another occasion Miss Pollard had
retired to room in that house with one John
Brandt, had remained there three quarters OF
an hour, and when they came out she had
returned there with another fellow. Miss
Pollard had once asked him to so into the
room with her but he had refused because he
was a friend of Rhodes. Rhodes had borrowed
money from him for his girl, and he had in
sisted upon seeing the girl. Rhodes had in
troduced him. saying, Jim. let me intro
duce you to my girl, Miss Pollard.
Rhodes had taken liberties with Miss Pol
lard in the presence OF other people. and wit
ness frankly admitted having been intimate
with another girl in the house called Little
Lena"
Miss Pollard had on some of this gauze
stuff kinder mother hubbard was the lucid
description of her attire by the deponent.
Witness Was pretty full that evening. He
had visited the house two or three times
week after the first call. and always found
Miss Pollard there; thought she remained
there six weeks in May and June OF 1888
The witness had INDUCED in some profan-
ity and obscenity. part OF which he credited
to Miss Pollard as quotations OF her remarks.
Had seen her drunk as the devil, and had
been Obliged to help her to bed.
The deposition OF John \. Brandt, school
ianitor of Lexington. followed. ..
Brandt said he had first met Miss Pollard
in 1888 at a house kept by Lena Singleton
who was reputed to be the mistress OF James
Rhodes The plaintiff seemed then about II
wears old Brandt had often taken Miss Pol
lard riding: according to his story had often
picked her up and dropped her somewhere IN
the street as he was a married man.
When asked for what purpose he had Wis
tied Lena Singleton. Brandt said the law did
not compel a man to answer such questions
The commissioner had urged him. saying it
was so long ago it would do no harm to an

| supposed they had all been there Mr.. Brandt
| told that he went for immoral purposes.
Mr. Brandt also had employed language
which would not bear repetition. He de-
| scribed Miss Pollard as "a spare-made
woman with dark hair. and said she was
| then going TO school. BrGndts testimony
was somewhat contradictory as to when he
| first met Miss Pollard. saying once that he
| had met her first in 1881. and again in 1883.
| He was introduced to Miss Pollard in Lena
| Singletons house by a woman he had met at
n house of ili-fame in Cincinnati. but could
| not remember the name of the woman or the
| location of the house.
In explaining one of his lapses of memory
the witness said THAT time l must have been
pretty drunk. as l generally was" Could
not remember whether he was drunk on the
occasion the alleged meeting with Miss Pol
| lard at Lena Singleton's occurred. Dcponent
expected that he had made improper remarks
TO Miss Pollard, but declined 10 say whether
he had taken liberties with her.
The deposition of Letcher Lusby. chief of
| police OF Lexington for six years past
revealed that he had known Lena Singleton;
| that she kept sporting house. as he
| characterized it, although he was careful to
| explain that he had never been there. Mr..
| Wilson objected to a question as to Lena
| Sipgleton's reputation for chastity, but Judge
| Bradley remarked that considering what the
! witness said of her house her character might
| be inferred.
Questions as to whether Mr.. Rhodes had
| sent money by express through an Office in
which Lusby had been employed We're objected
to but admitted. and it appeared that Rhodes
had sent money to Young lady at Wesleyan
| College. When witness joked him about her,
| he had explained that she was his niece.
The deposition OF W. T. Jones. an alderman
| OF Lexington. showed that he had been ac-
quainted with the family OF Prof. Brown. OF
Wesleyan College. in 1888 AMI 1884: had known
Miss Pollard. and understood that she was
| frequently visited by ROssall. She had told
| him that Rhodes was paying her tuition: that
she had promised TO marry him. but did not
intend 10 carry out her contract, us he was an
! ignorant old farmer.
With this the court adjourned.
