Experts then testified that letters which,
Miss Pollard denied writing were Written
By tho same person who wrote the ones
she said were hers.
Washington, March 90 The surprise
of the Pollard breckenridge trial to-day
was tho unexpected appearance Of one
of Miss Pollard's old lovers, Rankin Kos-
sell, a Kentucky schoolmaster. His
deposition had been read In the case, but
10 make his testimony tloubly sure the
cx.tiancee was introduced in person, and
no sooner had he taken the stand than
Madeline Pollard glided in for the itrst
time this week from the office of her At.
torney across the street, where she waits
to be sent for when her presence is de-
sirable. Probably she will be in court
tomorrow to face her silver-haired &C
cuser, for the attorneys declare that
there will be positively no longer post
ponement of the testimony of the princi-
pull in the, case, and that Col. Breckin-
ridge will take the stand without fail
during the day. Rossell testified that
Miss Pollard Rugged and kissed him SO
much that he got tired of it. He did
not want to marry IL woman who acted
as she did.
The deposition of Hiram Kaufman, a
Lexington butcher, was taken up after
the cross-examination of Roselle had been
concluded. Kaufman alleged that he had
met Miss Pollard in an designation house,
he having gone there with Rhodes, the
latter having introduced him to Miss Pol
lard. The deposition also ascribed OBJ
jectionable language and actions to the,
plaintiff.
The deposition Of John A. Brandt,
school janitor of Lexington, followed.
He testified to the same things as Kauf-
man.
She case of the defense is drawing to
close with the appearance of Col.
Breckenridge, whose testimony is expected
to occupy at least three days-as long a
time as Miss Pollard was on the stand.
Then there will be rebuttal for an in
definite period, as Miss Pollard will take
the stand again, and witnesses have been
summoned from Kentucky.
Washington, March 3O.-Col. Breckin-
ridge was placed on the witness stand to-
day to testify in his own behalf. Miss
Pollard was present. The defendant told
of the first meeting with Miss Pollard,
when she accosted him OH a train and
asked him to call on her at the seminary.
The letter which Miss Pollard says she
did not write was. submitted in evidence
after long argument. Resumlng, Col.
Breckenridge told of Miss Pollard ask
ing him to take her to an entertainment
in carriage. He consented.

he said, land she was talking at some
length about her desire to go into journal
ism, to be an authoress, and we had
spoken of George Eliot, she took off her
hat and put it on the front seat. I put
my arm around her. There was no
protestations on my part. No offer of
love. What occurred, occurred in nat
ural way. was q man with passion.
She was a woman with passion. That
was all. There was no cutlery by her,
no resistance. I, man as I was, l took
liberties with her person."

Mr.. Butterworth.
That was it, Butterworth. I am a

Continuing. THAT was going out. Co.

until we got close to the city. Under the

and put something into the envelope.
She refused to accept it. said There
