over questions regarding the standing

desiring 10 show that Mrs. Rutherford

prominent women had graduated there,
and Mr.. Butterworth saying that all

Then Mr.. Wilson catechised the wit

was taken up after cross examination
of RoSelle had been concluded. MIR.
Kaufman had known Miss Pollard when
she lived i'll Lexington in 1859. He
said that he was living between an
designation house and bawdy house.
There were some words not cuslomarily
heard in the best society in
this statement, but with the consent of
Judge Bradley the lawyer substituted a
milder term. Once he had visited the
| designation house with Jim Rhodes.
Jim had said, Il want you to see my
| girl" Miss Pollard was there, and had
sat Oh Rhodes lap, and Rhodes had
Rugged and kissed her. On another
occasion Miss Pollard had retired to
room i'll that house with one John
Brandt, and had remained there three
quarters OF an hour, and when they
came out She had returned there with
another fellow. Miss Pollard had once
| asked him to go into the room with her,
but he had refused because he was
friend of Rhodes. Rhodes had Dor
rowed money from him for his girl. and
he had insisted on seeing her. Rhodes
had introduced him. saying: Jim. let
HE Introduce you to my girl, Miss Pol

Rhodes had taken liberties with Miss
Pollard in the presence OF other people,
and witness frankly admitted having

house
CALLED LITTLE LENA.
"Miss Pollard had on some of this

week after the first call, and always

| aud June OF 1888
The witness had INDUCED in some
| profanity and obscenity. part of which
| he credited to Miss Pollard as quota
| tons of her remarks. Had seen her
| drunk as the devil"
! The deposition of John A. Brandt. a
school janitor of Lexington, followed.
| Brandt said he had first met Miss Pol
lard in 1883 at house kept by Lena
Singleton, who was reputed to
| be the mistress of James
Rhodes. The plaintiff had seemed

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 a married man.
| When asked for what purpose ne had
visited Lena Singleton Brandt said that
the law did not compel man TO answer
such questions. The mmissioner hae
urged him. saying 1T was so long ago il

! with the observation that he supposed
they had all been there Brandt told that
he went for immoral purposes. Brandt
| also had employed language which
would not bear repetition.
HE DESCRIBED MISS POLLARD
as spare made woman" witt dars
hair, and said she was then going to
school. Brandt'S testimony was some
what contradictory as to when he first
met Miss Pollard, saying once that he
had met her first i'll 1851 and again in
1855 He was introduced to Miss Poll.
ard III Lena SIngleton's house by a
woman he had met at house of ill
fame in Cincinnati, but could not re-
member the name of the woman or the
location of the house. In explaining
one of his lapses of memory the witness
said: That time | must have been
pretty drunk. as [ generally was"
Could not remember whether he was
drunk on the occasion the alleged meet
ing WITH Madeline Pollard at Lena
Singleton'S occurred. Deponent ex-
pected that he had made improper re-
marks to Miss Pollard. but declined to
say whether he had taken liberties with
her.
The deposition of Letcher Lusby.
chief Of police of Lexington for six
years past, revealed that he had known
Lena Singleton, that she kept sporting
house, as he characterized it, although
he was careful to explain that he had
never been there. Mr.. Wilson objected
to question as to Lena Singleton's
reputation for chastity, but Judge Brad
ley remarked that, considering what
the witness said of her house, her char
acter might be Inferred. Questions as
TO whether Mr.. Rhodes had sent money
by express through an Office III which
Lusby had beer employed. was objected
to, but admitted. and it appeared that
Rhodes had sent money to young lady
ut Wesleyan college. When witness
Joked him about her he had explained
that she was his niece.
The deposition of w. l.. Jones, an
alderman of Lexington, showed that he
had been acquainted with the family of
Prof. Brown, of Wesleyan college, in
1888 and 1854; had known Miss Pollard.
and understood that she was frequently
visited by Roselle. She had told him
that Rhodes was paying her tuition:
that she had promised to marry him,
but did not intend to carry out her con-
tract, AS he was an ignorant old farmer.
With THIS the court adjourned.
THEY ARE AFTER HIM.
