drawn by the plaintiff and Endorsed by
the defendant 10 1898, TO paw Miss Pol
lard's expenses AZ the school OF the Boly
Cross,
COLONEL BRECKINRIDGE STATED
that he did not know what becSHs Of
the notes, did not know whether they
had been protested. Was sure that he
had never received notice that two Of
them went TO protest.
Now, 10 refresh your memory" be-
gan Mr.. Wilson, this testimony having
been ELECTED by succession Of qpes-
lions, do you not know that notice Of
the protest was sent 10 you both in
Lexington and Washington?"
He did not. and the attorney asked,
"do you know the particular object for
which those last notes were drawn?"
II do very we'll.
"Was il not 20 enable the plaintiff TO
purchase her wedding trousseau?"
Nothing like il. There is not
scintilla OF truth in it," was the Colo
ners impressive answer, and ne wanted
TO tell about the deal, but Mr.. Wilson
chOked him of with reminder that his
counsel would examine him later.
The cross-emanination having drifted
to the renewal OF relations In 1889, in
Washington, the defendant was asked:
"Did you ever have room in the
Northwest secti0n?"
I'VE did try that experiment, but OF
all the unsatisfactory experiments that
was the worst / ever tried. We had not
been there more than three or four
times before the plaintiff said that IL
seemed every window within three
blocks had eyes when we went in there,
aud ] was sure tibet people were
STANDING on EVERY DOORSTEP
in sight every time l went. 1 am
rather peculiar looking man so people
remember me, so We gave that up"
Now, SAID Mr.. Wilson, little later,
abiding 10 defendants criticisms OF
Miss POllard's falSehoOds 10 saying she
had been 20 dinner at his house TO ac-
count for her absences.
n'You are fatherly-looking man and
she a Young girl, both Of you from Ken
lucky. Can you conceive OF better ex-
cgse for her % give for absence than
that she had been TO dinner with re-
Spectacle elderly gentleman like your
self?"
Nor can I conceive Of a keeuer one
20 be used aiterward for suit like this, y
was the reply.
During a part OF March and April,
1893, Representative Breckenridge said,
when his attention was called to an
other phase Of the case, he had seen
Miss Pollard two and three times a day
and one day seven times He remem-
bered a time when he took lunch with
her. and they had strawberries, but was
certain that this was before the 18TH OF
April and not the 10th OF May, after the
secret marriage, as Mr.. Wilson would
have 10.
BE had frequently met the plaintiff
i'm the house of Mrs. Thomas, on Il
street, but had never seen her sewing
10 his life.
"Did you not meet her once there
when
SHE WAS USING THIS BASKET
that had belonged to your wite?" Mr..
Wilson inquired.
Never; never under heaven" an
swered the Colonel, striking the wit
ness box
''Did not servant come in while you
were with her and she was using that
basket?'
"No servant ever did, for never
knew for a moment until 10 was brought
in here that she had that basket"
He had met Miss Pollard in New York
in September, 1892, but not "mprop-
erly," but had met her improperly
there iu February, 1898.
Where did you go then?" Mr.. VIII
son inquired.
'I can't tell the place. l simply
hired o coupe and she got in and told
the driver to take her to some safe
place. lie took us close to the elevated
road, up toward Fifty-second or Fifty
third street. 1t was a large building
that looked like a hotel"
Here Mr.. Wilson suggested that as it
was near the hour for adjournment, and
he desired 20 take up en- entirely differ
ent line OF examination, it was hardly
worth while to proceed further and the
court adjourned.
