20 from Washington
The letters were read to the jury by
Mr.. Carlisle end then Attorney Stall
cross-examined the physician upon the
details OF Miss Pollard's confinement.
Witness could not cay whether the mis-
carriage was produced by artificial
means, but found no evidence tending
to chow that.
THE PLAINTIFF FAlNTs.
DR.. Mary Parsons testified that in
1888 she attended Misc Pollard at a
convent on Massachusetts avenue,
Washington, and in Second street, s.
W. In the latter place male child
was born and placed in the asylum.
She afterwards saw the child with it's
mother.
At this point in the examination
muffled sobbing WAS heard in plaintiffs
direction. She was leaning forward
almost double, shaking convulsively.
The attendants, unable to quiet her,
were compelled to support her from the
room. As she passed the door she fell
forward in faint and would have
dropped to the floor had not one OF the
attendants caught her. Then the doors
were closed and the examination
proceeded.
BRECKENRIDGE PAID THE BILL.
Being asked what became Of the
child witness said it died. When asked
if Miss Pollard had told her who the
father OF the child was, Breckinridge
and counsel in chorus objected. The
objection was admitted at first, but
finally DIR. Parsons was allowed to say
she called on Breckinridge at his resi-
dence with bill from Miss Pollard for
DOCTORS services. He forwarded pay
ment.
On cross.examination, DR.. Parsons
said she told Colonel Breckinridge she
heard that he was Miss Pollsrd's guard
ian and asked him to pay it.
TILT BETWEEN THE LAWYERS.
After a brief cross-examinstion Of
witness, the legal controversy over de-
positions was renewed. Mr.. Butter
worth for Colonel Breckenridge moved
to suppress the dispositions taken for
plaintiff at Lexington, March 2n6. The
main point made was that notice OF the
depositions should have been given
Colonel Breckinridge's lawyers in Wash
ington. Mr.. Butterworth argued, and
Mr.. johnson replied for plaintiff.
referring sarcastically to what he termed
the peculiar proceedings in Kentucky
and the peculiar manner of the connec-
tion of the Kentucky attorneys to the
case, who had appeared generally in
the preliminary proceedings for the
benefit of the defendant, but whose
coRpsStion in gmattsrs tq uhlA idtifsdyen g. ~
science and effrontery. When Mr..
johnson had finished his srgument
Judge Bradley said the court would
adjourn.
Mr.. Shelby of Kentucky, of whom
Mr.. johnson had spoken sharply,
jumped to his feet saying, 'Will your
honor allow me-" but the Judge ad-
journed the court. As soon as he had
done so Colonel Breckinridge stepped
before the bench and addressed him, but
the Judge waived him aside with an
expression of annoyance on his face.
The scene related in the introduction
of this dispatch soon after took place.
