THE BREcKINBRIGET TRIAL.
Col Thompson Concludes and Maj. Butter
worth Begins.

Washington, April 11.-Col. Phil
Thompson resumed his argument for Col
Breckenridge this morning in the Pol
lard-Breckinridge breach of promise
case before very small attendance.
Miss Pollard was not present, but the
defendant was on hand.
Col. Thompson closed with an appe al
to the jury to return verdict according
to the law and the testimony. When
Col. Thompson closed his opening for
the defense, Maj. Ben. Butterworth fol-
lawed in great speech on the same side
which wrought spectators up to such
point of enthusiasm that they broke out
into cheers and handclapping, and Judge
Bradley, in hot Indignation at this
breach of court decorum, ordered the
court cleared of all but persons having
actual business with the case.
This was effected with some difficulty,
but the seats thus vacated were almost

Taking up the letter dated July 20,
1884, inviting Colonel Breckinridge to
oall on Miss Pollard at Wesleyan College
which the plaintiff pronounced, a forgery
Major Butterworth criticised counsel
for the plaintiff.sas black leg perjurer
and forgery IN face of all the eyiden ce
that she wrote the letter. He main
tanned thatsif Miss Pollard had been all
she claimed in case Colonel Brekinridge
made wrongful advances he would have
been repulsed in way that would have
kept him from farther conduct of that
sort. In all the years of the Hason there
had not been anything given Miss Pol
lard as mark of affection except little
willow basket which had been his wife's.
Whatever William G. p. Brekinridge may
be guilty of, he could not be guilty of
insulting the memory of his dead wife
with the graveclothes still clinging to
her dead form. This woman tells how
in the carriage ride he was trying to
seduce her, he spoke of his dead wife
and dead little boy.
/ do not condone one of the short COM
ings of the gray-haired man, but is he
the monster she painted him? She tells
us she gave up her child after holding
it in her arms two hours. Did ever

Mr.. Butterworth contended that the
description given by Louise Wilson"

her fitted old man Rodes, and that he
was the father of her child.
At this point the court adjourned.

GRIEF AND DOLE.
A Sad Winter on the Bleak Shores of Cape
Cod.

been a winter long to be remem bered by
those whose friends make a living on

affiliated wrecks and cargoes. Forty-two
lives lost from vessels stranded on or
near Peaked Hill bar, 26 lives saved, is
the record for life-saving stations in
that vicinity since last November. $500,

Asbury Park, N. J., April 1.-THE life

appeared to lie partly over on her port
side. The waves were pounding againt
her, throwing cataracts OF spray and
mist over her topmasts. She lay on the
beach within mile of Manasqua n

sand. AT times she seemed TO raise up
