From Making mi Outcry
Wasipnoton, March .TO- There was
quite an audience aw dting the second
appearance of Colonel Breckinridge on
the witness stand who were interested
in him and what he would have to say.
No time was lost iu sending the wit
ness to the stand and then Butterworth
handed up the work basket which lie
bnged to t he second wife and which
Miss Pollard said he had given to her
with affeo’Jonate words. Breckinridge
said: “I did not go to Miss Pollard’s
house that night. I did not ride with
her in a herdio to the depot. I did
not g've tier the basket under any c'r
cumstances." B itterworth ♦hen left
the que-tion of the basket and directed
his questions to details of the moefitii/
between the witness and Miss Pollard
and file circumstances of the visit to
the house of Sarah (lo^
“1 found the plaintiff in the car
when I got, into it, and conversation re
suited in an arrangement by which we
were to meet that evening In Lexing
ton \\ e went to the <io«s house,
knocked, no one was there. I agreed
io return later, wtijch I did and met
herthere ”
“Was there any rosi-dun je or pro
testation on her part agiinst what was
done there.1’”
“None whatever, we merely carried
out t tie arrangement made on the train.
I returned the next night, with some
uncertainty as to whether I would tlnd
tier there, as she said if she could slip
away without risk to the house of her
grandfather or uncle she would do so.
1 found her there, however, as she ‘•aid
she had not dared to fake the risk of
going away by daylight. I remained
until about ten o’oiock that night.”
“What was there in her conduct to
indicate that. • he was not, a matured
j otr g woman?”
"Nothing whatever, she was a fully
developed young woman with nothing
to indicate that she was not experieno
ed in Ihe relations of the sexes.”
“Was anything said about her being
seduced by you, or as has been said
here, bhe seduced von?”
“As to the first,” said Breckinridge,
“of conrae nothing was said nor until
tiling this suit, was anything ever said
to the effect that, I hud seduced her
physically or otherwi-e.”
While Miss Pollard whs absent from
Lexington during the spring of 18So
when she said the first child was born
the witness deolared he had no knowl
edge of her whereabouts and no com
munioation with her.
“Did you pay the plaintiff anything
when you parted with her at Sarah
Goss’?"
“I cannot, use the word pay,” replied
the oolonel considerately, “1 paid her
expenses and presented her with a
sum, not very large, but euough to pay
her traveling expenses ”
Continuing he denied all knowledge
of the correspondence to Rhodes
allowed to have been written and
dated from New Orleans and other
places in tne south by Miss Pollard
under his direction nor had he ever
written a letter purporting to be from
her to her mother or any other person.
Instead of being in Cincinnati Satnr
day August IT when Miss Polbni
testified that they met m the public
library and afterward visited mi assig
nat ion house, he had been eng. ged in
the court at Winchester in the trial of
Ollie Brown for murder.
“On the 11th of October, I met tier
in a house in Cincinnati She cams That he had
'earned of her Intentions of coming to
Washington and I opposed it as lis
natrons to both of us I filially fill
nislied money for her to leave there
and she came to Washington in Sep
ternlier '*7
•‘Plainttif has said on two occasions,
after protestations of love, you said
you would marry her if possible ”
‘‘There is not a scintilla of truth in
that statement." Under no circum
stances he declared had she ever tol l
him she gave birr h to a living child,
nor did he believe if uti'il lie heard t 0e
testimony of I >r I'aisoi s, ssyii g the
second time she had a miscarriage re
suiting from poor health. II she had

have given me an excuse to bleak oil
my relations with her. Consilering
the time of these relations, 1 is impoa
slblethat. the child could have been
my child
In pay mg the expenses of the secoud
confinement, Brecklnri tge said the
first time he had been represented as
Miss Pollard’s guardian When the
physician, Parsons, sent, an additional
bill, he said she had better come di-
rectly to him, for If she was In the
hands of a reputable physician, a pro
fesslonal se let would lie safe In tile
hands and if she was attempting black-
mail, it would he best to face her at
once.
"Plaintilf has said there never was
any suggestion on your part that your
relations tie broken ( If "
“From November 1HMT> to July 18s.">, j
there was no improper relations be-|
tweeu n«, although I was supporting j
her. The entanglement, between us |
really began when she came to Wash ]
iugtoti against my will. I frequently
-.aid to tier earnestly as I knew how
the lela’ion between us O'Uild only re |
suit in public scandal and perhaps the j
destruction of us both, her character,
her lack of self contiol. her temper
was such that some day there must |
come exposure. I urged her t i go
anywhere she coul i study. < Iferiog to
pay tier expenses, saying the buroen
! could lie no greater on nm t ban if was I
I Several t lines I t h night, she agreed to j
! g), once e.t, Cambridge. She was (
there some tUue and I ft against [
my will. Then she told me she:
| had arranged to go on the
I paper of I he proprietor of ♦ tie ‘Bread
Loaf Inn,’ of Joseph Battel!, in Yer
moot. Some of onr interviews were
more excessively unpleasant than any
words can describe. She would come
to me at tiie crpitol iu my committee ,
room, declare she was not going to j
leave, ttiat she was going to have the i
support owing to her. 1 suppose at
thesetimes I became excessively angry
and said things that were hard and hit
j ter. I knew the only alternative was |
submission or the destruction of • hose ;
whose lives depe (led on me, at i let it j
goon, hoping tomorrow would tiring a
soltifioii of t tie problem. I would tell
her in evei y way, from gent t to most :
severe, thst she was becoming more
disinclined ana unable to t care of
herself. Her manner oftentimes was;
extremely di-agreesble ”
Breckenridge testilied he had never
gone to but one hc.'ure with Miss,
Pollard, had never submitted the;
manuscript, of his speeches, lectures,
or magazine articles to her, or advised
with her on the tenor of thern.
“There was never but one human
being who over advised with me any
way concerning tiie lectures from ttie
time I began to speak and lecture
down to eighteen months ago and that
person was not Miss Pollard.”
Breckenridge referred to his wife and
his manner was most impressive.
Much Of tils teCimo’y regarding the
visit to Sarah Goss’ house, he declared
was absolute falsehood and tfie person
who heard the conversation September
last, was trying to dissuade Sarah G >ss
from testifying in the case, probably
unaware he was then in Washington in
discharge of his official duties.
The application of Miss Pollard for
a position in Hie civil seivioe was tden
titled by the defendant. Breckinridge
said he had met Rhodes at an election
booth and the latter toll him of the
agreement between himsdr , ml Miss

“The tirs‘ time I had any informa-

pregnant was in Hie summer of 1887.
T’he tirst. time I ever heard that tier
pregnancy had carried her to Cincin-

been a legitimate miscarriage not an
improper miscarriage; that it occurred
with her mother's knowledge, under

aeter had been avoided and secrecy
secured.”

friends had great trouble in prevent

Much of his former statement was
repeated by the defendant and before
he finished Miss Pollard broke forth,
sobbing and exclaimed: “That is not

something.”
Judge Bradley admonished her: “If
you cannot control yourself, you will
