An impression had Tor Somo reason
been growing during tho last two or
tases days that BrocGinridgo would DO
acquitted or that Mics Pollard would
not be awarded moro than six cents
damages, which would throw the costs
upon Breckenridge.

speech tor'the plaintiff by Judge JeFes'
Wilson, many think that the most OF.
fectiye speech for Miss Pollard was that
OF Colonel Phil Thompson, which was

which Judge Bradley could not refrain
from referring in his charge to the jury,
Is probably without q parallel in the
history OF the bar, and every one won
ders why Breckenridge himself did not
rise and protest against its unprece-
dented vuIgarity and llth. The entire
bar ]pronounces it n disgrace 10 their
calling. There is little question that it
aroused the resentment OF tho jury, and
that II Thompson influenced them at
all it was against his own client.
The exciting episode Of the day was
n virtual charge by Judge Wilson that
Stoll, one OF Brcckinridge's counsel. had
connived at the forgery OF the much
discussed Pollard letter. stoll clustered
and talked Of q settlement in another
court, which OF ccurae meant at tho
muzzle Of a pistol, but Judge Wilson
was not in the least disturbed by the
threat. A rumor is aloat hat there
will be a challenge, but that is highly
improbable.
