POLLARD vs.. BRECKENRIDGE.

The daily prpsrs tbs past week
have been giving largely of their
space to the details of tho suit OF
Miss .Hldalins PJllarl against G. z .
Breckinridge, tnr brelci of promise.
They are both from kentucky, but
the suit is in court in Washington, D.
C.
Brsckinridge is ~ elder in the
Presbyterian church, an able public
speaker, religious mseting exorter,
and gres. Suud W school man. and it
is probable that it is on that account
that so much publicity is given to
the case. There are very few feat
ures in tbs ciss that do not appear in
coart in almost every county, in the
United States some tims during the
run Of year, in ca,s, of fornication
aud ba3tsry, seduction and adultery
which the c)un:ry papers pass by as
that much trash, oaly fit for the
briefest mention, bat as almost every
Insns and woman who can secure daily
paper WITH an account of the suit do
80 and eagerly dsvour the details OF
the anours of the parties to the suit,
it is not on! of placs to briefly state
the casa.
Miss P1lllrl, is the dlughter OF
Kentucky saddler who died poor, the
girl was ambitious of securing an ed
u,,tion, aud obtaine money from au
elderly man nImsi RI les on the
condition that shs would marry him
or paw back the m )ney hs had fur
nished her for the edncation. Ro1es
was a gardener by occ 1pstion, and
after shs had besn az school some
time ha urged her to AIRY him.
On one occasion when she was
travelling sn a train man ctms to
her and said don't know you" She
knew he III Int, but she knew him by
sight, all she answered, "no you
don't kno ma but L know you arc
-Hr. BreckInridgs."
Wlsn R)des pressed his suit, she
thought of tho car acquaintance she
h.d mlds with Breckinridgs an
vondere whether he could help her
out Of her trouble with Roies. She
wrots to B-eekinridSe, he did not an
swer, out Ia vsnt to Lexington
where she was and took her out in a
clo2ed carriage the frst evening he
Tss there. The next dly Friday, he
took her to an assignstion house, and
there they roomsd at night with
each other till on the following Mon
day. After that be WAS frequently
with her as often as two and three
nights in week. When she gave
birth to child he always took her to
fouudling asylum, where she was
registered under an assumed name
he promised to marry her when his
wife died but he did not marry her,
he married au other woman secretly
IN New York, and kept up his rela
tions with her quite while. Whe I
his second wife frisn ls founl on
the secret marriage they made il
psblic, and then she, Miss Pollard
brought suit against him for breach o.
promise, claiming fifty thousand dol
lars damage.
There is nothing In the case tc
make so much ado ovsr, there is
nothing in the care that should act as G
stumbling block to men and women
~ho want to live up to the standar d
OF = pure life. It doos not in the
least effect the principal of chastity,
it effects only the partie. in the case
and proves what hypocritical man
8reckinridgs is The end of the
suit has not been reached. Brsckin.
ridge is about 62 years old, and Miss
Pollard is about 81 years younger.
