Miss Pnllnrd,s Suit

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. 14.-Miss
Madeline Pollard and her attOr-
neys will be here Thursday to take
dispositions in her suit against
Congressman Breckenridge for
breach of promise. The wit
nesses were subp9ned last Mon
day. She will try to show
that Rhodes, the old farmer who
was so infatuated with her that he
sent her to the finest schools, kept
a mistress here in one Lena Single
ton, who was an aunt of Miss Pol
lard's. The testimony she expects
to obtain will be unusually spicy.
