Seo Stark Wost lor fire insurance. WACO, TEXAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 30, 1S94. V Breckinridge denies of tho Statoments Mado . , by tho Plaintiff. W>on, March 30 There was an audience awaiting the second appearance of Col. Breckinridge on the witness stand today, whose in. terest in him and what, ho would havo to tay was moro intense than that of any audietiOB he had ever faced before. Foremost in it was plaintiff and her elderly companion, Mrs. Edis. Back of thorn in doiule rows, were the lawyers in tho case, and also Desha Breckinridge, the son to whom the defendant had referred in affectionate terms while detail ing tho members of his family yes terday. When tho witness took the stand an ominous silence prevailed thrugh out the crowded courtroom. Tho witness opened hia testimony by stating that his wife was Miss Desha, who died in July, 1893. In speaking about the basket that has figured in tho trial he eaid that the last time that he saw it was in the room on II street. Tho statement made by the plaintiff that he gave her the basket and accompanied her to the train and bado her an affec tionate adieu, ho said was false. The witness denied the cab ride. The rpeaker's voice was low aud smothered while he gave his testi. mony, and he met plaintiff's gaze while ho spoke without showing any visible emotion. Continuing he S3id he first learned tho fc. ,sket was in hea possession when it was produced on the trial. He could not say how the basket got into Mies Pollard's possession. Counsel then drew the witness to tho details of the first meeting be tween tho witness and plaint. II and the circumstances of the visits to the house of Sarah Goss. Tho witness said that he saw Miss Pollard on the train and after speaking to her, arrangements were mado that they should meet at tho houso of Sarah Goss. Tho statement made in tho New York World was sub stantially correct. Witness denied ho had made the arrangements to go to Sarah Goss' house as testified by the plaintiff. Tho plaintiff madr no resistance or protestations as to what was done there. There wss nothing in her conduct or appearance at the time to indicate thatshc was anything but a matured woman. Tho question of the witness having seduced her physically or otherwise 'had never been brought up until the tiling of this suit. While Mis Pollard was absent from Lexington during the spring of 1885 when she said that her first child was born, the witness declared that he had no knowledge of her whereabouts and no communication with her. If she had written to him under the nom de plume of Margaret Dillon, ho had not received the letter nor any box on Nov. 7. The witness eaid that he could not ex actly say that he had paid plaintiff any sum upon depart ing from Sarah Cross', but he had presented her with an amount not large but enough to pay her traveling expenses. He denieu all knowledge of the correspondence alleged to havo been written dated from Now Orleans and other places in the south by Miss Pollard under his direotion, nor had he ever written a letter purporting to be from her to her mother, or any other person. The witness was still on the stand at the olose of this report. A Lady Drowned. Because she bought her furniture at a furniture store, instead of buy ing of tho Waco Show Case and Furniture factory.
