MISS POLLARD'S CASE
The Plaintiff Could Not Be Positively
Identified by Sister
Cecilia.
Dr, Kate Perry Kane Identifies Miss Pollard,
Whom Dr. Buchanan Describes as an
"Unfortunate Girl From Kentucky."
Washington, March 14.—The testimony of
Sister Cecilia of Pueblo, Col., formerly su-
perioress of the Norwood asylum near Cin-
cinnati, wa3 resumed when the Breckin-
ridge trial commenced this morning. Sister
Cecilia was on the witness stand. Replying
to Attorney Carlisle's question, she said
that she had a good njemory for names, but
a poor memory for faces. She could not
affirm positively that Miss Pollard had been
an Inmate of the Norwood convent, nor
could she say that she had not.
A dispute arose between counsel over the
question of admission as evidence of the
witness' opinion as to the identity of the
young woman. Judge Bradley said that If
the question, as propounded, was Intended
to elicit the opinion of the witness as to the
Identity of the plaintiff with a certain per-
son who was at the asylum at a certain
time, it was oompetent; If it was Intended
to show that the witness, from things she
had subsequently learned, had become con-
vinced that the plaintiff had at some time
been an inmate of the asylum, it was In-
competent.
The plaintiff's counsel reserved an excep-
tion to the court's ruling and then framed a
different question, asking:
"What Is your opinion as to the Identity
of the plaintiff with a patient in your asy-
lum in May. June and July, 1885?"
This was overruled, another exception not-
ed, and followed by the question:
"What Is your belief as to whether the
plaintiff was In your asylum during those
months?"
"That Is a question for the Jury," said
Judge Bradley.
Mr. Carlisle inquired whether any pa-
tients in the asylum had been In the habit
of veiling themselves, to whioh the sister
replied':
"There were two or three ladies who
veiled t'helr faces when they thought there
was danger of being recognized by visitors
from Cincinnati."
Sister Cecilia remembered that three or
four ladies had come there from Cincinnati
in the spring of 1885 In carriages, but when
asked if tfhere had been a patient by the
name of Burgoyne, answered: "The name
Is not familiar to me."
The cross-examination was very brief,
Sister Cecilia saying In answer to Mr. But-
terworth that she ihad held several conver-
sations with Miss Pollard since her arrival
In Washington.
After the two sisters had retired, the
reading of a deposition by Dr. Kate Perry
Kane of Cincinnati followed. Mrs. Kane re-
memtbered that Miss Pollard had boarded
in their house as Dr. Buchanan's patient
under the name of Miss Louise Wilson,
identifying the plaintiff positively. From
the cross-examination in the deposition It
appeared that Miss Pollard was described
by Dr. Buchanan as "an unfortunate girl
from Kentucky."
The boarder was understood to be an un-
married woman, .wi j:ice after she had
been to tneet a friend at a hotel about some
financial matters Dr. Kane asked why she
did not marry the friend, to which Miss
Pollard replied that she could not, that ha
had ruined her, and that she loathed him,
and she had steeled her heart against film
and would not marry him, although he had
offered to marry her. From Miss Pollard's
ways, general actions and knowledgt of
things in 1885 the witness thought she
must have been about 24 years old then.
She was not at all frivolous or girlish,
kept her affairs to herself and time seemed
to have dealt gently with her.
The identity of the friends who sat be-
side Miss Pollard throughout the trial was
divulged when Mr. Carlisle called Dr. Belle
Buchanan, and that lady walked arourrfl to
the witness stand and took the oath.
Dr. Buchanan has an intelligent face
She stated that she first made Miss Pol-
lard's acquaintance under the name of
Louise Wilson, in June, 1885, when Miss
Pollard came from the foundling asylum
at Norwood In a carriage, her coming
having been arranged by Dr. Mary Street
and Mrs. Logan. Miss Pollard had evi-
dently given birth to a child.
"Are you married or single?" asked Mr
Stall, beginning the cross-examination.
"I have been married," replied the wit-
ness, with emphasis on the verb. "I mar-
ried James S. Sheerer In 1874. but after-
ward secured a divorce and resumed my
maiden name."
Wlhen Mr. 8toll went into tihe degree of
tnitimacy between Dr. Bgi#h«ai^ and her
partner, Dr. Street, JbetWeen^tSP and 1885
Judge Bradley Inlterposed that tie was
oairnylng thiat too far, iwhereiat Miiss Pol-
lard turned to flash upon 'the ICeaiituoky
lawyer a sJirnlficent smile.
Dr. Buchanan was questioned iwthetlher
she wiais the same witness wiho had made
a deposition in Olmalnntutl Jin February, and
she Identifying her signature to tihe detpoat-
ttan. The aross-emminialtioo of Dr. Bu-
dhania.il was completed after the nooni re-
cess, the doctor Inclining occasionally 'to-
ward sarcasm in her replies to Mr. Stoll.
An affidavit by Mrs. Wesley Itoibertoom,
wife of WiBiaim F. Robertson of Olnelnniatl,
and daughter of Dr. Brown, the president
of Wesleyan seminary lm 1883 and 1884, was
read by Mr. Carlisle. The deponent bad
beam a Student alt the seminary wihen
Madeline was 'th^re; had been given by Miss
Portland & letter, to toe opened on the nlgtlvt
of her graduation tn June, 1885. She tod
last seen the letter when her husband
gave lit to Ooionel Breckinridge without her
consent.
Here Mr. Stall ihlait saiid before the notary
that he had the leitter, wanted the court
to protect hilim in the possession of iit,
and intended to offer lit to the iwiilineda for
Identification.
"But. you did not get It honestly," the
•wtttniess replied. The letter was identified
by her. In the correspondence the witness
had once, in August, 18S4, addressed Miss
Pollard ais "■Madeline Lillian Breckinridge
Pollard." Miiss Pollard had said that liter
Haltlher was a great adlmirer of Mr. Breck-
inridge's father, that She herself admired
W. C. P. BrecMraridg'e greatly, as he was
then "tihe star of Kentucky," a statement,
which even read by Mr. Carlisle at second
hand, starred a laugh. Im one tetter Miss
Pollard has spoken of ihtr deep debt of
gratitude to Mr. Rhodes and wrote: "How
can I ever marry the old wretch?" The
witness had understood that he was M!«s
Pollard's guardian, and wanted to marry
her. In the contested letter Mj'jss Pollard
had apoken of her love for a Prof. Over-
man.
According to witness Miss Pollard had
been an exceptionally bright girl, smart in
her studies, although her education in early
life had been neglected. She had never
lived in a. city, apparently, and was very
diffident in the presence of gentlemen.
Miss Pollard toad told her of her visit
home on account of the death of her sis-

THE STOCK RAISERS.
Second
Day of Their Annual Con-
vention Held in Fort
Worth.
Objections to Commissions Charged on
Texas Cattle at Market Centers—Ad-
dresses—Visit to Stock Yards.
IFort Worth, Tex., March 14.—The cowmen
divided business by fun to-day, and the re-
sult was a very enjoyable day all around.
The first thing in the morning was a pres-
enentatlon. Colonel J. W. llarbee, general
livestock agent of the Cotton Belt, known
to hlH friends as "His Whiskers," was
going around with an air of mystery In-
viting tho distinguished men in town to bo
present at the Cotton Belt office at 9
o'clock. Now, Barbee Is a Joker. So some
of the people who are onto him did not
pay any attention to his invitation. Enough
went, however, to make the occasion one
of absorbing Interest.
Mayor Paddock was there In his best bib
and tucker. General Jonathan INesbitt,
general livestock agent of the Chicago and
Alton; Major Page Harris, general live-
stock agent of the Texas and Pacific;
Colonel Bill Beggs, Captain Homer Eads,
who looks out for the Missouri Pacific In
the San Antonio Territory; Colonel Thurs-
ton of Mount Vernon, the man who stands
7 feet 3 Inches In his socks, and whose
head Is always high above the petty quar-
rels of the world; Hon. Jake /.urn; Colonel
T. M. Hunt, together with a lot of high
pirtv^ties whose |names would only kill
apace, making about 100 In all. Last of
all, came not the devil, but Colonel James
Wilson. Colonel Wilson entered the room
leaning upon the arm of General Nesbltt.
Mayor Paddock arose, "Colonel Jim—"
began the mayor.
He got no further, beoause- Colonel Jim
had made a break for the door, which had
been carefully locked in anticipation of
such an outbreak. The colonel was per-
suaded that the condition of his health
would be more satisfactory If he remained
quietly in the room.
"Colonel Jim," again began the mayor,
"In recognition of your many attractive
qualities and as an evidence of the—"
"You cut It short," came from the
colonel, who was restrained from the use
of more violent language by the personal
appeals of General Nesbltt.
"Esteem In which they toold you per-
sonally," continued the n*®or, unruffled,
"and as a mark of confidence in your pro-
fessional integrity and honor, your many
friends have commissioned me for them-
selves and othens to present to you this
pair of shoes."
At this juncture Colonel Wilson- saw a
pair of 20'sl in the mayor's hands, a,nll! toe ets*
caped Into 'the street, making for the Pick-
wick at a Nancy Hanks' gait. Colonel Bar-
bee closely pursued and for half a block
the assembled1 multitude of cowmen saw
the prettiest exhibition of speed that has
been given in Fort Worth in years.
Finally, everybody got a look ait the
shoes and they are enormous. They meas-
ure 20 Inches in lengt.ii and 5 Inches ncroiss.
They are about 12 inches high. When they
were exhibited' from the sidewalk the
crowd yelled and tihe baind played "What
Kind of Slippers Do the Angels Wear."
After that the boys went down to the
convention hall and attended to business
for awhile.
At 1 o'clock they commenced gathering In
front of the Pickwick to go out. to tihe
stockyards, where Mr. G. W. Simpson was
going to spread a banquet at 2 o'clock. The
cowman's first thought is of his bread-
basket, and there was a spontaneous out-
burst of thanks to tihe man who guides the
destinies to the packing hoiuse anil a sim-
ultaneous rush for the electric cars. They
Jammed and pocked so close a man could
not have driven a wedge through the crowd
with a sledgehammer.
And the band played all sorts of things.
"Rally For the Grub, Boys," came first,
and provoked great enthusiasm. "There's
II New Coon In Town," "Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-
Aye," and oflher beautiful and sentimental
tnuiSlo was rendered which provoked cheers.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the dinner com-
menced and tihe first hundred guests sat
down to the spread, such as only a thardy
cowman with a healthy digestion .in splen-
did working order can appreciate.
How the things did disappear. Tlhey
went out of sight like hay In the snout
of a hungry elephant. Everybody enjoyed
It and everybody praised the enterprise
of the man wiho built the house and put
in the machinery that prepared the de-
licious meal whlcih «#i served In such
abundanoe.
At 5 o'clock tihe last guest had partaken
of Mr. Simpson's dinner and was ready
for the ride back to town, and at 5.30 he
was getting his grip ready to move to the
stockyards hotel. So much for the day's
festivities.
President Bush, said to The News re-
porter that the conduct of the members
of the association during the meeting now
drawing to a close has done more to Im-
press visitors with the strength and force
of the organization than itny action ever
taken by the body. Heretofore, though
strong in numbers, the association has
been handicapped In its efforts to improve
the condition of the trade through the
iistiessness and disinteredness of Its own
members. Now the members have waked
up, are alive to all opportunities and are
going ahead. To-morrow's session will be
brief and strictly business. The state
live atock sanitary commission, which was
organized under the Baldwin act passed
by the last legislature, wtill Teport its
work for the year. The transportation
committee will report ttoe result of its
deliberations witlh ttoe railroad managers
for better rates and better accommoda-
tions for cattle In transit. The committee
to suggest dhanges In the constitution
and by-laws of the association will re-
port Its conclusions and then the session
will be finally adjourned.
The Kansas City delegation will visit
Galveston, spending a couple of days in
the Island City.
Second day of IStjh annual convention of
the Stockralsers association of Texas con-
vened promptly at 10.30 this morning with
President Bush In the chair and Secretary
James C. Loving at his desk. The report
of the committee on revision of constitu-
tion and by-laws was culled for by Presi-
dent Bush. This committee, not being
ready to report, the matter was deferred
until to-morrow morning.
On motion of C. C. Slaughter, D. H.
Snider and S. S. Burnett were appointed a
committee to draft suitable resolutions
upon the death of W. C. Young and Frank
Houston.
Hon. C. R. Breedlove then, on behalf of
the Texas Livestock association, presented

of Fort Worth, on March 14, among other
things, the following preamble and reso-
lutions w'ere adopted, to-wit:
Whereas^ the growtlt and output of Texas
is so large that to subserve our best Inter-
ests we should have access to all points
in the west where extensive stock yards
and packing houses tire located; and
Whereas, South Omaha has demand for
at least 100,000 head of Texas cattle per
annum, therefore be it
Resolved, by this association, that tho
railroad companies of Texas and their con-
nections be urged to miike the rates of
freight on cattle from all Texas points to
Omaha the same as to Kansas City and
St. Joseph, thereby giving the cattle rais-
ers of Texas direct entry on equal terms
to the third largest llvi stock and packing
center of the world; be It further
Resolved, that to carry out the purpose of
this resolution, a committee of three mem-
i bers of this association be appointed by the

ciation iiMil t.» take Muc»h other utepn as
they mishit deem necessary to carry out
the objects and itrtentlomi of tlf above
resolutions. \v»? now als > ask -that you
ulso adopt the above renolutlnns and that
you appoint a similar committee of three
•to act in conjunction with our committee
lit carrying out the o»bJeot and purposes
of .said resolution®. We also desire to
represent tint In our opinion the com-
mission chaws on Texas cattle In the
market (vnters are exorbitant, excessive
ami unjust, as are also, In certain mar-
kets, charges for lmy, yardage, dockage,
broken nibs. etc.
We therefore ask that tdils committee
of threw be authorized and empowered to
Investigate these matters, call upon the
live stock exchanges at the different mar-
ket centers and urge them to tlx t'helr
oomnilsslous on a percentage basis, and
that tlhey also visit the different stock-
yards companies and use their best en-
deavors to induce Hi em to give 1 h e ship-
pers of Tfxa-s cattle a reasonable rate,
Hiioh a rate of charges as will be fair
and equitable to all parties.
We desire to represent, further, that
certalin railroads in Texas in the shipment
of live stock within the state are charging
from 10 to 15 per cenit extra for stable
cars, this charge being in addition -to the
regular pro rata charged for additional
space and length.
We believe all these evils can In a.
measure be corrected If t'he stockman of
Texas will take the matter in hand and
correctly present It to the proper authori-
ties. To this end. and with the hope of
furthering the Interests of the stockmen
of Texas, we respectfully invite your co-
operation. Very truly,

its adoption and asking the hearty co-op-
eration of the cattle raisers' association of
