A Snltry Day
For Him.
WAsniXGTOX, April 2. Great expecta
tions Lava been focussed upon the crots
exnniiudtion of Colonel W. C. P.Breckiu
ridge by ex-Cougressmiu Jere M. Wilson,
purlieu jar ly here in WasUiaKtou, wLere
tbe abilities of both men nre appreciated.
The expectations began to bo realized af
ter the noon recess today when the colc
uel was delivered over into the hands of
bis opponents. He had contmned
his story of the intrigue with
Madeline Pollard through the morn
ing, entering many and reiterated
denials of various statements made by
her. and relating his own version of the
lnierview with tbe Washington chief of
police, and of the correspondence between
nim-elf and the pUiut-tf. He had been
tesiifj Iiiir for nearly two court dnys when
his dintt t'liimony was fiuished, and al
though Mr. Wilson plied him with ques
tion nil the afternoon, the cross-examination
beimed to have but just beguu. It
had been expected the colonel woold
be requested to reconcile his
position as a church man aud moralist
witn his course of cotiducf and this
expectation was not tnibguidedfor the ex
amination toofc tutit direction from the
start. Tlio firt time the aefendaut has
shown marked embarrassment during the
trial w.ts when u envelope was hauded
him with the request that he read the
diretton and the contents, which he did
reluctantly, becau-e it was an invitation
to .Mi-s Pollard m February, 189J, request
ing the honor of berpieeuce at a incep
tion to be given in honor of Hon. W. C. P.
Breckinrnlye at the Norwood institute,
and t:ie Norwood mstitute is the most
exclusive and fashiouab'e seminary tor
young ladies in Wtishiugtou.
An embarrassing presumption which
Jude Wilson clung to throughout was
that the same Maud ird of morality should
ho demanded cf men as from women.
Finally at tlie close of the day, having
seemed the statement that he had written
no letters to Madeline Pollard in lfcSG, Mr.
Wilson sprung something very much lilio
a tr.p by dropping into a linejf question
lug which luilicates that he has lu reset ve
teituuouy to show that the member from
lvehtucky dictated letters through a tjpe
wntistat the capital. Then for the fht
time the dtfendaut seemed to lose his
t-mper and made most strenuous denials.
The typewriter, whose testimony is next
in oriler, is a MNs Louise Lowell, now a
clerk in the treasury dep irtment.
The carriage ride of August, 1892. when,
ncuitiliug to Miss Poilanl, Colonel Ereck
ni idge made his firit formal proposal of
marriage t her, was tne first subject Cd
oael Br ckinndge was asked about when
he resumed the stand today. He denied
positively tuat any such riue -'jnl tnkeu
place, 01 thit he had made any proposal.
Continuing, lies-ud:
"I never aked plaintiff to give up any
child; I never knew plaintiff to give up
an j ciiild; I never kuew the plaintiff had
anj living chihl; I nev.-r i any time spoke
of mariLige to the plaintiff before the death
of inv late wife."
Deiijingtlie conversation v. men auss
Pollard -aid took plac in the Hoffman
hou-e April 30th ha said he had not been
ab-eut tor a moment trom the side of his
wife that day, as "we had not been inar
rnd forty-eight hours."
Mr. Buiterworili called hi attention
auain 10 the luterview iu -t!ie ofQce of
Major Moore.
"My recollection is that it was a much
Ui trier visit than Al.ijor Moore has said
It was rapid and c.V-kf.i; the young wom
an i id mo-.t of tlie laikiiu:."
In refernui: io theaecou.l viit made by
hiiiisflf aud Mis Pullard to Majar Moore's
oflice. Colonel Breckinridge said it was
agreed between them they would say to
M.ijor Moonj Unit Breckinrids wi.s the
author of MissPollnrd's uregnancy. Miss
Pollard demauded, he said furtuer, that he
was the oulv mau who had been intimate
with her. He emphatically and angrily
dicliued to inaive such a stntiineur, de
claring to her tnat noboJy could say he
seduced her.
"Did ycu," linked Mr. Butterworth,
"have anj impioper relations with i c
pi iiutifl after the 29 1 h of April. 1K2?"
(llns was the dateot the frecret murine
in Xcw Yorn to Mrs. Wing.Brickinridge's
pre-eut wife)
"I did not." emphatically replied the
colonel. "I is absoiut-ly (lje. I uever
had ni)in pjr intercourse with plaiutiLf
alter the 31st day of Murcb."
This coucluded Breckinridge's direct
examinttion.
By further q-iestioning, Mr. Wilson eli
cited tUeinfoimatiou thai t'ie colonel, last
June, had delivered a speech to a woman's
si ciety in Xtshville, aud had been presum
ed a basket of flowers. He denied that he
stid Le nd no wife io pres nt them in his
repou-r, inlvasinxious toexpSmti what
"l8"111' but Mr' ",L,oa would QOt
rifi niit.
"Are you a membr of the Masonic fra
ternity J"
"I am."
"Y..u knew Miss Pollard's father was a
Mason "
"I did not. I knew he was an Odd Fel-
"Are there any obligation to tbe wid
ows. or ihiughters o meniber growim:
out or mimbcrslup in the Od I Fellows?"
Philip Thompson objected to this ques
tion ami was sustained.
The crGS examination then took a turn
on the various authors which Colonel
Breckinridge had read and he was asked
what object Mr Butterworth had in view
w hen be asked the Colonel about George
E lot.
"Well," the plaintiff sid, "tbatsbo con-s.der-d
the tifa of George E lot, with
M.. Lewi-, a protest against xnawk-
i-h seutimeutahty, concerutug what
wen often considered improper
nlat'ons, and said she would rather live
a Geore E lot ditl than to sew on bnt-
t is. churn outter nnu live the lite of a
wi mm in somewhat atraiehtrncd c rcu:u-
.siance ou a Kentucky farm "
"Y"ou inniioued George Euot to please
j the plan tff in the MfflJ cttesory wuh
j her aud to compare your relation wuh
j her to those of Lsis wtta George Eliot J"
! "Od, no. My relations with the plain
I tiff were much mor? improper witu her
then those of Eliot and Lewis." (Very
coolly.)
Iu theconrseof tbi examination Col
i onel Breckinridge aid: "From what I
I know of the plaintiff and of Burn. I
rjitier unusual procetuiuji ;c.
Cltbnl Cltnase ior ur t - -- "
mer cveumg, to waich tbe Colonel replied,
"Ob. no. I ilon'e thtnt It was." and tte
auJieiice laughed.
'When yoa put your arm around her,
had there been anything of a suggestive
oatnrrr"
V-'t Trannnt IBlircr that dcflnlttlV.
1 There was no prtiCBlr word or ac; thai
I could lay my band en. There was just
something internally that moved me to.
If she had reproved me, I could not have
s lid you have encouraged me,' and jet I
would have been surprised had she resent
ed it."
."Well, then, you drew her to yon, and
how long were you iu that position?"
"Oh, Icauiiot say."
"And what was talked about?"
"Nothiuz was said." (Laughter and re
buke from the judge.)
"I watiokuow how long you held her
in your arms.
Tue transaction could not be stated a
to ume. It was all one transaction. I
took her in my arm", drew her across my
lap. drew her to me. It was all one
action."
"Did you give her any friendly advice
on that occasion?"
"I did not "
"You were a man of 4S and she a girl of
17 to 21?"
"That was all true, and mccb more. No
mau had less excuse for such an action
than I with tbe domestic surroundings I
then bad. I have attempted to make no
excuse for it; it just happened so."
"And the f.tct she was a young girl in
school makes it all the wrr-e?"
"You cannot frame words too strong to
characterize it. I have not attempte.t to
iustify or even defend it, aud all the hell
have suffered since then, I have de
served." 'Then I understand you to say the
enormity of the act canuot be overesti
mated ?"
"There is but one punishment which I
have not deserved, aud that is to marry
the woman who was concerned with me iu
the act."
"As a lawyer, since yon claim you did
not seduce her, will you tell us what you
consider seduction ?"
"I mean tj say I did not seduce her by
any protestations of love or reward; that
she did not come to me as a maideu uor a
virgin; that I did not seduce her in the
phjsicil seuse that she came to me a mai
den aud I left her otherwise. Nor. iu the
lover seuse, that Iiid not offer her
money."
I When they met on the train the next
day coiouel isreckiunage saia he uau not
known Miss Pollard was to be on the traiu
and supposed she could not know he wan
there.
Describing the interview on tbe
train, the Culonel said: "I suggested to
her that if she staid over in Lexiugtou
would not she meet me, aud asked if there
was any place she could go. She said she
could go io Sarah Goss house, and with
s-orae surprise I asked, 'what do you kuow
ub utS trail Goss?' She stud Mr. Rhodes
had ouce tried to get her to go there with
him and she had gone as ftr as the gate,
but reiused to go in."
"Nothing bad been said about your
meeting the night before?"
"Nothing bad been really said, only
when we met there was some sort of in
definite look, somethiug more than a for
mal recoguitiou."
Misi Pollard bad known the way to the
house, the coiouel continued, aud then iu
response to questions as to his going home
to dinner and returning to the assignation
Imuse, he responued coutinuously: "1 did,
I did," with bowed he id.
After going over again the visit to tbe
hou-eof -arah Goss Saturday, tho lawyer
asked if Mr. Breckinridge had taken Mi-s
Pollard to the house of Mrs. Rose iu
Cincinnati, when they went there. Ha
replied: "I want to be cuudid and I will
say lrankly that I did uot take her iu the
sense of going ou the same tnin, but we
made the arrangements to go in Lex
iugon." This was in October. The colonel had
known Mis. Rose in Louisville wheu she
kept a cisrar store, but not, "in an im
proper way." and uuder circumstances
involving another person; to his capacity
as attorney.
"I had mtt her on tho street. We had
shaken hand" and she knew I knew cer
tain things about her which I bad obtained
professionally, and she gave me her card."
"Wheu was that?" Mr. Wilson inquired.
"About eightteu mouths ago."
"And you kept her card all that time?"
"No, I knew ber nume and looked it up
in the directory."
"Hw long were you there that da) ?"
"Perhaps halt an hour: maybe an hour."
"Was that the only time you two were
there?"
"Guess not."
"How many time'?"
"PerhapH lour or six times during the
twoyeurn "
Later, in speaking of the visits nt Sarah
Gos. he said: "Evety arrangement as I
remember it, for us to meet, was accident
ally made. Wheu we went to Sarah Guss'
there was neer auy agreement to meet
there at any future time, but wo would
meet ou the street and from these acci
dental meetings would come arrangements
to visit S irah Goss'."
"From whom would the solicitations to
me et there come?" Mr. Wilsou asked.
"There were no solicitations. We wonld
meet, walk alousr the street together, and
tbe matter would be arranged."
"Did you have a sitter in Lexington by
the uame of Louise?" asked Mr. Wilsou,
afior Mr. Breckinrid e had declared he
had uoc corresponded with Miss Pollatd in
18SG
"I never had a sister by the name of
Louis?," was the reply.
Do you kuow a woman in Washington
by tbe name of Louise Ljvell ?"
Colonel Breckinridge looked puzzled and
declared be kuew no inch person
Theu to Mr. Wilson's inquiry whether
he remembered a tjpewntist whose ma
chine was in the corridor of tbe capltol
between the rooms of the house committee
of postoffice aud the committee on pnut
iug. he said there had aiway3 beeu a type
wntist and stenographer there but he
could not remember her name. If she ws
produced he tniiiht recogn ze her.
Y.u h-jv-stid you wrota no btt-rs to
her in 1SSC?" Continued Mr. Wilson.
"Now did you not take to that lady in
February 3S8G a manuscript letter begin
niug My near sister Louise aud ask her
to render it into typewriting?"
"I decline to answer tbnt unless you
show me that paper you are asking the
questions from. Iharegiren you all the
letters fr.m me and you said vou bail
none." The colonel was tor the first lime
getliug somewhat excited. It will be re
uiembered he ha I denied the st-ttern-nt of
Mis Pollard thtt he bad address-rl letter
to her under tie name of Looise WiUon.
His attorneys. Mjor Butterworth and
Colonel Phil. Thomj-on. backed him no
iu iiis refusal, bat Jude Bradley decided
the question wits a fair one.
"Since I havenorecolltction of a worenn
uamed Louise L-iwell, I cannot remember
bavins f-eut any Ieitr to ber." w- the re
ply "Of course I have a very large correspondence-
I have a sister-in-law namd
Liu.'s, the wife of General Breckinnd.fr;
but sltcehe is called Lou in the family
I don't think I could have written in that
way "
The spurring became warm.
"Let me tee the letter." persisted Col
onel Breckinridge.
"Tuat will come oat in dee time." re
marked Mr. Wilon.
Now. to refresh your memory, did. yea
not in taat communication refer to tb
di.-pritj of ages btreea yourself and
your dear sister Louise?"
More, that tbe letter fboold b produced,
to which Mr. Wilson td: "For tb com
loft of yourself and your attorney, I will
mv tbe muiucrip; was returned to you.M
"Well, now 30a need not make saeh
statement, for I don't care nnytbiag about
it, ei. ber way," interposed Colonel Breck
inridge, visibly nettled.
"And to further refresh yonr memory"
continued Mr. Wll'on. "did you not y
bow aaxicus you were to set bicx and
meet your der i-Oer oace more?"
"Ibavc not tbe fintt rtc-'LecJioa of
any such letter, aal I doa't car to disco.-
it," replied the defendant. -If ycu iefH

theu asked htm if he had not, after two or
three months of this correspondence, cau
tioued his dear sister Louise oottojeave
tbe letters around, as curious persous
might search bureau drawers?"
"I never, under any circumstances, wrote
such letters," replied the coiouel, and then
he tapped tbe wituess box sharply as he
asserted: "If any such letter is in exis
tence it is a forgery, and if notes of any
such, they are forgery also."
Moro arguments from Messrs. Butter
worth and Shelby against tbe right of
Judite Wilson to cat cinsa the witueso,
line upon line, regarding tho substance ot
a letter not in evidence, to which Mr, Wil
son replied that since the defendant had
denied ever having written to Miss Pol
lard he has a right to test his memory ou
that point, and added: "I will
say fraukly we have not the manuscript
here and I dont mind telling the court
upon whuteyideuce I base question"."
"Now, my brother Wilson is getting
into argument, as he always docs," saia
Mr. Butterworth.
"W.1I, if you object. I will drop it,"
said Mr. Wilson.
"Now, that is uot a fair way of putting
It, 1 iusist," continued Mr. Butterworth,
"to say that 1 object."
"I pass it until tomorrow morning,"
said Judge Wilson turuitu from the point,
"and I will ask you whether that lady
addressed envelopes in the ye ir 1SS6."
"I can only say if yu bring the ladv
here, I cau tell you whether she ever did
any work for me. Several women, or
females, have doue typewriting in Wash
ington, but I dou't remember this
patticular oue."
"I will ask you whether you did not
bring to her in the spring of 1SS0 a pack
age of a dozen euvelopes somewhat yel
lowed by age and of different dates, and
have ber address them to Miss Mideliue
Poilanl, No. 7 Upper Street, Lexing
ton, Ky ?"
Col. Breckinridge was strenuous In his
denial.
"I nover, under any circumstances, had
nny such envelopes, and I do not care
who the woman is who says so, he as
serted positively.
The court here adjourned.
