ment. we became engaged kpOut tne
Christmas holidays"
Roselle said: 'sMiea Pollard stated
frst that Rhodes was her guardian;
afterwards that she was desirous OF get
ting an education. and having no one to
help her, Rhodes having proposed mat
rimony she became engaged to him on
the condition that he would pay her
echoclistg, She said from the start she
did NOS intend TO carry out the con-
tract"
WAS VERY AFFECTIoNATE.
Roselle testified that during their en-
gagement Miss Pollard expressed great
affection for him, frequently kissed and
caressed him, and often sat in his lap.
She asked him to set when Rhodes
WAS present, as though he was not ac-
Guainted With her. When he told her
be was going to Chicago, she expressed
q wish to accompany him. He told her
che might do 60, and she put on her
cloak and hat, saying her trunk was
packed. He had been obliged to tell
her: "Under the circumstances we
would better not go until June" Miss
Pollard told him che was three years
younger than ne ana ne was porn n
1860.
Mins Pollard once mentioned to him
the mock marriage between herself and
JrS1an.
Between whom ?" asked Judge Brad
lev, perhaps remembering the affidavit
in which Julian had sworn the mock
marriage WINS between Owen Tinsley and
Miss Pollard and was performed by him
self (Julian).
TOO MUCH sPooNING.
v-h ho lof
Ragement with the plaintiff drop he
said it was because she allowed him to
kiss her in q way he did not like in the
woman he loved.
At the afternoon session Roeelle testi-
fed that Miss Pollard WAS a mature
woman at the time. Last April he made
application for the position OF gauger in
the internal revenue service, but when
his friends persuaded him to run for
eupsrintendent of schools he withdrew
his application. He did not know Mr..
Breckinridge when he applied for the
internal revenue position. His Rpplica-
ton was withdrawn before ne made
deposition in this case.
On cross-examination, he admitted
his application was withdrawn the
same day the deposition was made. The
point that led to this was the fact that
Miss Pollard in her examination de-
csred that Rosselle made his deposition
''ior revenue"
A FoUL-MoUTHED WITNESS.
The deposition OF Hiram Kaufman,
q Lexington butcher. was taken up after
the crossexsmination OF Rosselle was
concluded.
Mr.. Kaufman had known Miss Pol
lard when she was living in Lexington
in 1883. He said che was living between
one assignRtion house and a bawdy
house. There were eome words not GUS
tomarily heard in the best society in this
abatement, but with the consent of
Judge Bradley the lawyers substituted
q milder term. Once he had visited
the assignation house with Jim Rhodes.
Jim had said: 81 want you to see my
girl"
Miss Pollard was there and sat on
Rhodes lap and Rhodes had Rugged
and kissed her. On another occasion
Miss Pollard had retired to q room in
that house with one John Brandt and
had remained three-quarters OF an hour,
and when they came out she had re-
turned there with another fellow. Mics
Pollard had once asked him to go into
the room with her, but he had refused
becouse he was friend of Rhodes.
Rhodes had borrowed money from him
for his girl, and he had insisted upon
seeing her. Rhodes had introduced
him, saying: Jim, let me introduce
you to my girl, Miss Pollard"
Rhodes had taken liberties with Miss
Pollard in the presence Of other people,
and witness frankly admitted having
sv.ks en- rrsk ni 81 in he
house, called Little Lena.
miss Pollard had on some of this
gauze stuff, kinder Mother Hubbard"
was the lncid description of her attire
by the deponent. The witness was
''pretty full" that evening. He had vis-
tied the house two or three times
week after his first call, and always
found Miss Pollard there; he thought
che remained there six weeks in all, in
May and June, 1888. The witness had
indulged in some profanity and obscen-
ity, part OF which he credited to Miss
Pollard as quotations of her remarks.
He had seen her as "@drunk as the devil"
and had been obliged to help her to bed.
MORE FILTHY TESTIMONY.
The deposition of John A. Brandt, a
school ianitor of Lexington, followed.
He said he had first met Miss Pollard in
1888 in house kept by Lena Singleton,
who was reputed tc bs the mistress OF
James Rhodes. The plaintiff seemed
to be about IL years of age. Brandt
had often taken Miss Pollard riding, &C.
cording to his story; had often picked
her up and dropped her somewhere in
the street, as he was married man.
When asked for what purpose he had
visited Lena Singleton, Brandt said the
law did not compel a man to answer
such questions. The commissioner had
urged him, saying it was 30 long ago it
would do no harm to answer, and then
with the observation that he supposed
they had all been there. Brandt told
that he went for immoral purposes.
Brandt had employed language which
would not be admitted. He described
Miss Pollard as "spare made woman, .
with dark hair, and said she was then
going to school. Brandt's testim ony
was somewhat contradictory as to when
he first met Miss Pollard, saying once
he met her first in 1881 and again in
1888. He was introduced to Miss Pol
lard in Lena Singleton's, with woman
he had met at a house of ill-iame in
Cincinnati, but could not remember her
name nor the location of the house.
In explaining one of his lapses oi
memory, the witness Haid that at the
