Bays llie Connect
ion "Was Devoid
of Affection,
Washington, Mnrch 30. Chapter two
of the story of the Breckinridge caae was
told today. It consumed the wnola ses
sion of the court and still tho narrative
remains incomplete. From the second
meeting at the LexinRtou house of assig
nation, kept by Sarah Gues, in 18S4, down
to the late spring of 1893, the
recital wound its way alone a puta
stormy with pistols, illegitimate
children, clandestine interviews and secret
1 marriage, more of intrigue tbau one vould
-.appose could be contained in the life of
-itch a mild looking elderly gentleman as
;he one who leaned over the witness box
and told it in a matter of fact way, occa-
.sionaliy dropping into a jest.
Before him sat the woman who is willing
to emulate Samsou by dragging down her
self with the temple, was the only dis
turbing factor in the scene. She persisted
in becoming acittted and once she made
an outcry, demanding to know why the
defendant could not tell the truth, but
Judge Bradley warned her firmly and
kindly that she must exercise control orer
herself or leave the room.
There is a wealth of detail in the de
fendant's story; he binds it about him
with many extraneous matters, and
throws au atmosphere of high life over it,
wearing in with his meeting with Miss
Pollard allusious t the many political
events in which he hits taken part;
the schools he -lias addressed, the
Confederate reunion he has attended;
the banquets to which he has been called
as au honored guest, the ladies he Lad
taken to call on Mrs. Cleveland, even the
dinner of the It-form club in New York,
at which Mr. Butterworth observed,
"Speaker Crisp did not speak."
'When Col. Breckinridge made his appear
atice on the witness stand today, Mr. But
terworth handed the witness a work

words. Breckinridge denied absolutely
the circumstances under which Miss
Poll ii rd said the basket bnd been
given her, and further denied that
be hnd given the basket to her at
all. He said, that he learned that ouly a
day or two bi'fore the trial that the basket
was in Miss Pollard's posspssioi and had
no knowledge as to how she gained pos
session of it. Explaining, in answer to
Mr. Butterworth's question", his vwit to
the h iiiss of Sarah Gue-s, Colonel Breck
inridge contradicted the statements of
plaint.il and the Guess woman. He said
thev went there as uer agreement between
them, aud that he hud never made ny
prior arrangements about her
staying
there, ns the plaintiff had stated.
"Was there any reiHt.mce or protesta
tiou on her part agaiust what was done
then-?"
"None whatever. We merely carried
out the arrangement made on the train.
She preferred to remain in that house and
avoid any questions which lior return to
the -eminnry might bring up."
"Was there any conversation about her
hchooling and inducements of help held
out by you?"
"None whatever."
"Was there anything in her conductor
appearance to indicate that
1 matured young woman."
she was not a
"Nolnitig at all. She was fnlly devel
oped, a young woman with uothiug to in
dicate she w.is not experienced in the rela
tion of thesexes."
'Was anythini: ever said about her be
inc seduced by ynu "
"Nothing was said then, nor until filing
of this suit was it ever s lid tlmt I bad
seduced her physically or otherwise. "
"Did you pay the plaintiff anything
when you parted at Sarah Guess's?"
asked Mr. Butterworth.
"I cannot iiie tho word 'piy,' " replied
the colonel, considerately. "1 p ml the ex
penses of Surah Guess and presented her a
sum, not very large, hut enough to pay
traveling expenses." Witness denied all
knowledge of correspondence alleged by
M.ss Pollard to have been written by him
or under liii direct on to her friend
Rhodes
Colonel Breckinridge positively contra
dicted tne statcm-iit oT Misa Pollard that
they were together in tie public library.
Cincinnati, August 17, 2SS4, and that they
visited an assignation house late the same
day. He was engaged that day and all
the rest of the month at Winchester as
counsel in the O.lie Bmwn murder trial
"the Jirst tinif I ever had information
from tho plaintiff," continued tbe witness
in response to inaniries of Mr. Butter
worth, "was in the summer of 1SS7 "
"Tne fir?t time I heard her pregnancy
had carried her to Cincinnati, w.is hit in
the fall of 1SS7, when t-he desired me to
obtain an ofQcu for a lady whose brother
had been the plaiuttff's physician in Cin
cinnati." "When did you learn she was pregnant
by you ? "
In the summer of 1S57."
"Did she tell you the result of it t "
"Told me it had been a legitimate mis
carriage, not improper miscarriace; and
had occurred with her mother's knowledge
nnd her mother's, supervision, and through
her mother the loss of character had been
avoided and secrecy assnred."
"And that was the it inn you nfterwArds
learned, she weut to Cincinnati?"
"It was."
itues and Miss Pollard had looked
over his offets to deliver lectures. She had
figured that the cost would bs $100 a
mouth, but he had expressed his willing
ness to tnve her ?I23. and her traveling
expensed
lhe witness added: lier
final answer at our next meeting at the
same house was chat she would never go
except as my nfliauccd; Hhe would go bck
to Washington ud be there when I ar
rived. We parted with considerable acer
bity, eventually. At cur next meeting
she said thai she (lid not want to
part of that way; that I mu-t not think
her a devil or a fiend. I put her into a
cab, sayuic 'you kuow there can be no
suca thing ns" marrfnge between u, and
lh:s- affair, ifyoc persist, can only end In
public scandal that will destroy Us bota.'"
"When did you tlr.t hear tbe plaintiff
claimed you had engaged yourself to
mirry her?"'
"In a communication to that efl-ct ia
the Wanington Post which, I understood,
was inspired by hrr, and taereAfter 1 re
ceived several letters from her to the sam
effect."
"Now." interposed Mr. Wilson, arising,
'Ve want liiue letters.'
"I hnve destroyed tl;ea." retorted the
defetidaut. "I have procured all the letters
I haw from her t mv knowledge, Th
wr,. replies to th.e that she my kve."
ibe testimony taen ctllied latotcedr-
cumstiuces aud coavtrztttoBs coacerniag
the efforts of the -defendant to induce the
plaintiff to leave the city to preveuc the
scandal which would certainlv come soon-
W cr or later if Miss Pollard remained ia the
I city.
lhen he related a conversation when
Miss Pollard had come to him in distress
because Mrs." Fdlette nnd another ludy
had been talking aoout her. the witness
saying: "I told her that this was what I
had always expected; that such aff tirs al
ways mast come to an end, and urged her
to go away as she had promised so many
times and let the scindal b'ow over. My
name was not coupled with them, but I
said ir would be if the thing went ou.
Mrs. Fillette had not mentioned my name;
it was oi her parties. She said that she could
not have such scandal against her name;
thatshe had a revolver with which she hnd
intended to shoot herself if such stories ever
came out. I made light of that. She told
me afterwards that she had gone to Mrs.
Blackburn; that Mrs. Blackburn had
talked with Mrs. Fillette and found the
charges did not affect the chastity of -the
plaintiff; that she was charged with being
an adventuress; that it was said she lived
by her wits; had no known means of sup
port and did not pay her bill. She In
sisted that I must go to Mrs. Blackburn
and tell her tne relations were such that
Mrs. Blackburn must stand by her."
Colonel Breckinridge said He had re
fused at this time to do so.
On several occasions, the witness said,
the plaintiff had declared her intention to
commit suicide, saying sue bad destroyed
all her manuscripts (including the manu
script of a novel she was writing), and that
she had given away her clothes. Shohud
once said to the witness that if he did not
help her out in the matter she did not in
tend to allow him to live that she did not
intend to bear the disgrace aione, ne
had told her there would hs no difficulty
about ic if she would leave Washington,
ns she had often promised, aud that he
would pay her expenses wherever she
weut. In one of these conversations when
she had apparently consented, she got up
and went into the library and came
back shortly and pointed a pitol at hitn
and threatened to kill him. By strategy
he had been enabled to take it away from
her before she could do any harm. She
kept the pistol and it was the same weapon
she had taken from his valise with which
she attempted his life in Xew York city.
That scene, ho said, was followed by an
almost immediate revulsion on the ptrt
of the plaintiff. She broke into a flood of
hysterical tears and declared that she had
not really meant to kill him.
He hail taken tha revolver away from
Miss Pollard aud that night she hnd come
to bis house with a young man and left a
note expressing her regrrt at what occur
red. When he next saw her, two or three
days afterwards, she had proposed again
to leave the city, acd Lc xgaiu offered to
pay her expen-es.
In March. 1S03, he bad met plaintiff in
Cincinnati iu response to a telegram trom
her. She then had told him thatshe had
been obliged, under Mrs. Blackburn's
cross-examination, to represent that
she was engaged to him. He
told her that he would go
right back and say to Mrs. Blackburn
that it was not true, but under her impor
tunities, promised to keep his mouth shut
if she would leave the city. Returuiog to
Washington. March 31, he had received a
call from Miss Pollard before breakfast.
He said: "I agreed then if she would go
away I wonld put myself in the power of
the plaintiff and Mrs. Blackburn and pre
tend there was an engagement. I said,
'you have put me where there is no alter
native but to put myself in your power
and trust yon, or to submit to a scene in a
hotel office or the street; perhaps have- an
attempt mudeon my lito on the street."
"May I interpose at this point." sug
gested Mr. Wilson, and be said there had
been no nlea of coercion put iu by the de
fense. Tho reply by Mr. Butterworth was
that there had been no agreement.butonly
the semblance of one, to preserve that
which was of more value than life, uuder
a compulsion as effectual ns a loaded pis-
tot
He did not care what tuo uuress or
, coercion was called.
The legal sparring became very warm.
Mr. Wilsou declaring they might show, if
they could, that an agreement was uuder
duress.
"I said tbexa must ba no misunderstand
ing between us," continued tha colonel,
when the lawyers subsided.
"I reminded her that from the first I
had said there could be no marriage, but
anything short of that which I could do to
save those who loved me, 1 would do; that
she could not trust me, because kuowiug
the relations I had hnd with her while I
had such a happy family, she would al
wavs snspect me of having similar rela
tions with other women. I reminded her
that she had not come to me a maiden;
that I had not seduced her."
After the Good Friday visit to Mrs.
Blackburn's, where Colonel Breckinridge
was expected to con firm the engagement,
but which he says he did no; do. as claimed
by Miss Pollard, be and the plaiutiff had
left Mrs. Biackburn's hou-e together and
walked away without a word
"I put the key iuto the door and sub,
You must leave Washington before I do,
or I ill notify Mrs. Blackburn of tbe re
lations between u.' Sha said, 'I can't go
as soon as that.' (I Was golug to Boston
the next day to speak at a banquet.)
"She said, 1 will keep my promise and
go as soou ns T can.' On account of a mis
underst.tudin9c regarding the b;ii.qtiet I
did not go. There was, u0 misutidrrsUmd
ing between u- the next teu days. We
both kuew tiu charrtCter of thf represent
ations to Mrs. Blackburn, aud I left U n-di-iuufoj
on April J-, with the same confi
dence iu her that I had helJ when I had
left ou the IStli of March. I had at least
two more interviews with Mrs. Bhckburn
before I left for Kentucky Several ladies
were stopping wub her aud she aiked me
to arrange for Mr-. Cleveland to receive
them. I called with them npin Mrs.
Cleveland. In au interview I urged Mr.
Blackburn to unite with me iu urging the
plaintiff to leave town."
Afterspeaklogof visitng Philadelphia
as a gueat of George W. Chilos, the cret
marriage to Mrs. Wing in New York wa
skipped, nnd Colonel Br-ckturidge went on
to tell of his meeting Mi.-s Pollard at the
Hoffman bone ou May L He wa sur
prised on entering bis room to find the
door of lhe adjoining room open, and upon
walking in fouud Miss Pollard there, but
partly dressed. He said;
"She demanded to know where I had
been during the pat; two days; aid she
had been looking all ever New York for
me. I responded, probably with a little
more rudeoess tbau I should, that It was
nothing to her.
"Then I went bicfc to my room through
the short, entry between the two. I heard
a noise; when I turned around she stood
in tbe daor with a pistol pointed at me.
I shut the door quickly; turned down the
catch aud touched the electric button. I
said I had sent for the doUc and wa tro-
log to have her put in the tombs. Sue
laidshe was going to shoot through the 1
door. I stid, 'shoot away, and you will
only give me more justification for having
you put iu the totub.' She was rattling
lbs door anu begged ma not
to have her put in tbe tombs.
I said, 'you put tbe pistol down
go in and fasten your door and I will see
wht I ought to do. "V hen the bell boy
knocked I opened the door. U helher he
saw I was excited 1 don't know, but I told
bira to bring a pitcher of ice water. I
dun't know whether I wii as cool as I
might have been." Tins was said bo
carious! v that everybody laughed.

room of the bouse wheu tho plaintiff
walked in and uid. 'Excuse me.JIrs. Wing.
I want to see Mr. Breckinridge alone on a
matter of great importance.' I turned to
my wife aud said I thought I bad better
go with her. As I walkei out by Li
fuyelte park she sain, I mtend to end this
matter; lint -ml to kill you.' I said, 'All
right,' and she weut ou, Mr. Breckinridge,
this is your last chance.'
"Wheu we got to Major Moore's office.
I asked if he was iu, and being toid he was.
I went in aud the plaint If followed me,
I said to Ma jjr Moore, 'I ueed the protec
tion of the law. This lady threatens to
kill me. I will tell you how I ciimoto be
in this position and I want you to put
either her or I uuder arrest.' lie said he
hoped it was not as Dad as that. Ho weut
over to her aud she held up her hands, and
said, 'I have no weapons but these,' and
then I said to Majir Moore that I wanted
to relate all the circumstauces so he might
decide whether to arrest her or me.
Theu she broke iuto a flood of hysterical
tears nnd said: 'Oh, dou't tell him; is it
uecessury?' 1 said I intended to tell him
everything, wheu she put her hand on my
shoulder aud begged ma not to tell him.
I took her hand off and turned to her and
said, 'Will you do exactly what I demand
if I do not tell him?' She said she would,
and I turued to Major Mooio and said, 'I
think we can settle this ourselves.'
Colonel Breckinridge said of his slda re
mark in the scene before Major Moore
thHt he thought he made it loud enough
for Major Moore to heir; I certainly
intended him to hear it; but it
appeared from the major's testimony that
he had not heard what he (Ureckiuridge)
had said.
After leaving the office with Miss Pol
lard, ho had told her there could bo noth
ing more between them; that she would
b.tve to look to some one else for support
and that he did not inteud to give her an
other dollar. Tney hud talked together
of tho child that was to bs born. She
had said she wanted to get rid of the
child, but I saiJ, 'no. if it is my child, I
have the greatest interest, iu it, and wheu
it is born, I can tell whether it is mine or
not' "
Then the witness told of Miss Pollard's
Inst attempt to shoot him. lie had been
to see her at the house of Mrs. Thomas in
Lafayette squire a few duys after the
scene iu the office of the chief of police.
He had suspected her intentions and us
he stepped into the room he threw
both arms around her, clasping her
tightly around the shoulders, slipped his
arms down until he could grasp her hands
and caught the weapon. This episode the
colonel narrated graphically, stopping to
remark, j coseiy: "And I have the pistol
in my possession now; a memento of my
engagement to marry tbe plaiutiff."
When he loosened her arms, he contin
ued, she fainted, or pretended to faint, ho
he laid her on a diyan, put the pistol in his
pocket, closed the door aud walked out.
This seemed to be a good climax, and so
court adjourned untd Monday.
NIPPED IN THEBTJD.
Lexington. Ky., March 30. Tho move
which was on foot here among the women
to get up a petition condemning Colonel
Breckinridge has been stopped by the pub
lication of tho movement fully matured.
Letters were written last week to Colonel
Breckinridge's friends an I counsel In
Washington, and replies have been re
ceived by many pcreous saying that snch
action should'uot be taken upon the
evidence of Miss Pollard, which nets at
rest all doubts of tbe intention of the
ladic. They deny that they have Hgnrd
a petition to congress, but denounce
Colonel Breckinridge.

Dexvek, Cola, March 3). Tha contro

boards is again in tho supremo court. To
day Judge Glyuu, ot the district court,
notified Judge Allan, a co-otdluate judge,
that he had dissolved the tatter's lnjuuc.
tion, restraining tho new board from inter
feriug with tbe action ot tha old members,
M. F. Taylor, attorney for tha old board,
immediately obtained from the supremo
court a writ of prohibition restraining
Glynn from taking any further action in
the matter whatever. This writ makes
the Glynn injunction against tha old board
inoperative aud also makes bis action ia
dismissing Judge Allen's injunction in
valid. Tho latter injunction is still ia
force and had Judge Glynn puninhed any
violation of his injunction, as was ex.
pected, snch ac.ion would have beau void
by tho writ of prohibition.
Tho writ will remain in force until
argument is beard, aud even this may not
cause It to be quashed. Any move against
tbe writ will Uuve to coma from Judge
Glynn. Ho will probably ask to have it
dis'solved. ind then a day will bo set for
argument. It is said, nowever, that b
may Ignore it, and should he do so the
wort sort ot a legal complication will ho
established.
The writ of prohibition was obtained In
the nick ot time, as tho adherents of tho
new board were preparing to storm Klico
headquarters, aud if they had doac so
there wonld surely have beeu bloodshed.
Mayor Van Horn proposes to causa tho
arrest of ail parties implicated iu the slor
iug of dynamite iu tbe city hell. They aro
liable to fines aggregating 12200.
