THE OMAHA DAILY STABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871, NADELINE IN A SWO0N | — Miss Pollard Gives Way Under the Recital of Her Woe PATHETIC SCENE IN THE COURT ROOM Led Fainting from the Presonce of the Spectators by Faithful Attendants, BRECKINRIDGE VERY MUCH WORRIED Testimony Given on Yesterday Very Dam- aging t> His Side, OPPOSING ATTORNEYS MEET IN A FIGHT Lawyer Johnson's Criticlsm of the Congress- n Pugilistio Re- man's Attorney Kesults i ounter—Women Ordered from the Court Room. WASHINGTON, March 12.—At the the pugilistic encounter between the Breckinridge- the appended con- clusion of the lawyers employed in Pollard case, described in port of the proceedings today, Judge Bradley, who hud left the court room, strode upon the nding to know the cause of the scene, den trouble. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Wilson A the case before him, stating the tucky laywers had made unprovoked assault upon Mr. Johr Colonel Breckinridge started from the ccurt house, but sceing the Judge turn back, the congressman ap- proached him, saying with evident excite- ment: “I had nothing to do with this, judge. I was trying to scparate them, that was all.” From the statements of eye-witnesses it secmed this was correet, for although aside from a moment of very general scufil everybody but Mr. Shelby seemed to have started In with the intention of stopping the trouble. Judge Bradley was very indignant. “‘We cannot have this here,” he said, sternly. “You must understand we cannot have such outbreavs. I will ascertain in the morning Who s responsible for this and see that the: are properly punished.” Thereupon the two parties of lawy treated to their respective headquar discuss the affair, When seen in his office Mr. Johnson said “We are not going to litigate this in the Kentucky style. 1 will call the atten- tion of the judge to the matter in the morn ing and leave it in hLis hand My refer ences to the course of the defendant’s coun- kel in court were perfectly justified by the circumstances which evoked them. — They were neither commented upon by the judg nor.objected to by the attorneys when they were spoken.” WILL BE SURELY PUNISHED. Local Jaw¥érs declare that Judge Bradley has power to punish Mr. Shelby for contempt of court, since the assault, which was made within the precincts of the court house shortly’ after the day’s session ended, was rosuitant ‘from the case on trial and com- mitted by an officer of the court, which Mr. Shelby Is as an attorney practicing at its bar. That the judge will fulfill his promise to see that the responsible partles are pun- fshed in the morning no one who Kknows entertats any doubt. He Is noted for the strict order which he enforces in the court room. Saturday he informed one spectator in the rear of the room that the court was not the House of Commons and it was not customary to wear hats there. Again he rapped three times sharply upon the desk with his full hand when Colonel Breckinridge and his attorneys were con- forring in overloud tones. The pugilistic encounter was not the only gensational incident of the day, for Miss Tollard was carried ‘sobbing from the court room .and fell in a faint outside the door when' testimony concerning the birth and death of her child in 185§ was given. Two faithful friends of her own sex attended her and she was driven in a cab to the House of Refuge, where she makes her home. To- night she is sald to be resting quictly. PUT THE LADIES ALL OUT. Refreshed by two days of consultation and planning, the Pollard-Breckinridge legal forces bristled with law books and por. tentious looking documents this morning they arrayed themselyes along the two ro of desks in the criminal court room. As soon as the roll of jurors was called Judge Bradley remarked: "*‘Mr. Marshal, I Wwish you would request those ladies to va- cate the seats unless they are witnesses in the case.” Thereupon Marshal Wilson's portly form loomed before the women, wayv- ing them out. They went with clouds of disappointment overspreading their faces and such a babbling of anger that the judge was obliged to rap sharply for order. Few of the spectators were left after this exodus, but among them were a half-dozen of the defendant’s fellow members of congress. Attorney Carlisle, for Miss Pollard, repr sonted to the court that the four mysterions volumes of Wa taken from the Cincinnati convent and ordered on Fri- lay to be produced had been filed with the clerk of the court in a sealed package with the endorsement that they were sealed by agreenent of counsel, to be opened by direc tion of the court. This reopened the contro- versy over the identification of the volumes, Mr. Butterworth contending that closer de- seription by the plaintift was absolutely nec essary, and declaring that the suggestion of sealing them had been made by Miss Pol- lard’s coun Mr. Wilson said the understanding was that the books should be delivered sealed as depositions were, but it had never been con- templated that they remain sealed. “If there was any agreement to have these books sealed,” said Judge Bradley, “1 was not a party to it.” hereupon ex-Congr who is a Quaker and refers to his opponent quaintly, as “Drother Carlisle,’ protested that 1t Miss Pollard had bought the books for the convent she must be able to stund up here and describe those books, “‘or sit here and do it," added Mr. Wilson tartly, in which ultimatum he was sustained by the judge, and Miss Pollard’s black eyes flashed triumphantly. After this incident, Mr. Butterworth gave notice of objection to be made to certain depositions which he said had been taken im- properly. Mr. Wilson was proceeding to put in a deposition when Colonel Breckinridge suavely requested to be shown it and told his lawyers to object because it was written nefther In the hand of the deponent nor of the justice of the peace, BRECKINRIDGE BECAME EXCITED, Mr. Breckinridge became visibly exeltod and nervous on the matter. This first depo- siton offered In this case was by Sarah Gess. Mr. Butterworth ralsed the objection that no notice of its being taken had been served upon the defendunt Considerable time was consumed in sultation before Colonel Breckinridge's law partner, John L. Shelby of Lexington, Ky., rehearsed the objections to the deposition. Notice, he sald, had been served upon attor neys who had represented Colonel Breckin rldge in some of the preliminaries, and who nccording to correspondence read, protested that they were not attorneys of record, nor connected with the courts of the District of Columbla, having appeared for the swearing of witnesses at the request of Colonel Breckinridge's son Another objection raised was that depositions had been forwarded from tucky by express, whereas the law presc that they be forwarded by mail Attoruey Carlisle, In his reply, accused Ken- an on. and his son had s re- to man Butteeworth, con- the Ken ibes in failing been but truc ssarily Mr. Shelby of lack of frankness to mention that notice had really served on him on the 3d day of March that on yunt of the defendant’s ot tions the taking of depositions nec had been postponed to March 7 regarding the taking of the Lexington were read by M of Lexington had refused to take depositions for varfous reasons mak excuse that he did not care to be mixed up In the case and that brother was an plicant for a federal on and 11 inc the enmity of Breckin- ridge and his friends by tion of the family with the case f davit by Attorney Bullock, who had repr sented Miss Pollard in Kenticky, it ap peared that her lawyers had found it nece sary to go to state capitol at Frankfort and procure a commission and bondsmen for one MeLaughlin to officiate as notary public before the depositions conld be talken Mr. Shelby then arose and said thore was to be any question of fact the fendant would like opportunity to fil its concerning it Thercupon the matter was, for the deferred and witnesses for Miss Pollard called sme tions in lard's his posi Colonel From an a that It affl time, vere STUDE dressed sth-faced spectacled young man, who gave his name Claude de la Frances, first cousin of Ward MeAllister and nephew of the marquis de la Roche, chamberlain to the pope, announcing that his residence was in New York, but that most of his time was spent in Europe, said that he had known Miss Pollard in Washing- ton in 1863, when she lived at 25 Lafayette square and 1819 H street. He had be a visitor at the place two or three times a week, alway! eing Miss Pollard and frequently Colonel Breckinridge with in the drawing room. “What was Colonel Breckinridge's manner toward Miss Pollard asked Attorney Wil- son of young France “Always extrem —very affectionate “What was Miss Pollard’s manner toward him?" “Very respectful and affectionate.’ Miss Pollard had introduced the witness to Colonel Breckinridge in the drawing room, the witness entered he found Colonel Breckinridge holding Miss Pe d's hand, as though about to leave. As he stood in th hall he heard Colonel Breckinridge K Miss Pollard who he was, whether he came to sce ler, and seemed fearful that he might inform a mutua W, Mrs, Corruvias of the Mexican e of his (Colonel Breck- inridge’s) attentions to Miss Poliard, and also heard Colonel Breckinridge inquire it he Knew of their engagement, sceming appre- hensive that he might Wk of that. He had several times seen Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard go out together, once in the cvening, and frequently heir engage- ment was mentioned in the house, on o amination Mr. Frances said Miss Pollard had repeated the conversation with Colonel Breckinridge concerning him- self to him, asking him not to speak of tho engagement to any one who did not know of it al V. The young man w TESTIMONY A fashionably OF A LAW rnal and very kind a law student, it ap- peared. Last spring Miss Pollard had asked him in case anything should ise to make it necegsary if he would give his testimony. He said: “That was one day in the drawing room, when Miss Pollard secmed very much de- pressed, and aid she, feared Colonel Breekin- ridge was not going to keep his word; that it he did not marry her on the appointed day she would shoot herself with a pistol. I said: ‘I don't see why you should take it so much to heart, Miss Pollard. While Colonel Breckinridge s a distinguished man and all that, there are other men in the world." She said: ‘Ah, 1 know, but there is no other but Colonel Hreckinridge for me. You do not know how kind he has been to me.’ “She seemed to think Colonel Breckin- ridge's attentions might have compromised and I not to belleve anything discreditable which might be said about her on account of it. She simply asked me to be a friend in case any trouble should arise—it there should be any talk, I suppose she meant. Nothing was said about any lawsuit. I don't suppose she knew then there would be one. “This incident occurred about the 13th of Something had been said about Colonel engagement to Mrs. Wing. Miss Pollard had said she kept a pistol by her bed at night, whereat Mrs. Thomas had expressed alarm, fearing that on account of the strain she had been laboring under Miss Pollard might shoot herself.” Before leaving the stand Frances an- nounced, in response to a question, he was employed in the law office of Coudert Bros. in New York. JOHNSON ON THE STAND. Dr. J. Tabor Johnson of this city having kissed the bible, asked the court if he was absolved from the professional obligation of secrecy, and being assure M s Poil'rd’s attorney, he proceed d to rilate that in May, 1893, he was called to see Miss Pollard, professionally. She was suffering from a miscarriage, and he treated her through her illness. While attending her he had several letters and telegrams when Attorney Carlisle handed several of them to him, he identified the signatures as Colonel Breckinridge's. Then they were passed over to the inspection cf the defendant, who adjusted his spectacles and scrutinized them with his lawy of these was dated Lexington, Ky., Ma 1893, addressel to Miss Pollard in New York, the writer stating that be had formed no plans and did not know what to do as yet of send- ing what she might need his sur- roundings were not happy; adjured her to be comfortable and was signed “'Sincerely and truly, W.

The witness could not say whether the miscarriage had been pro- duced by artificial means, but had found no evidence tending to show that. ANOTHER DOCTOR'S I A female physician, Mary Parsons, testi- flcd that in 1888 she had attended Miss Pollard at_the convent Massachusetts avenue in Washington and on Second street, southwest. The latter place had been se- cured by the witness for Miss Pollard, and male child had been born, which was' placed in an asylum. Did you ever see the child afterwards?" asked Mr. Wilson. “1 did.” Who was present?” “The mother of the child.” An exciting scene followed court heard a mufled sob, which came from Miss Pollard, and looking toward her the YOUng woman was seen with her head bowed almost to her lap, shaking convulsivoly The two friends from the house of refug who have been her constant attendants. bent over her, trying to calm her, but her emotion could not be subdued.

Just as she stepped through the door way Miss Pollard fell forward fainting, and would have touched the floor had not a stal wart colored bailift sprung forward to grasp her In his strong arms. Colonel Breckin ridge averted his face and whispered with his attorneys. As the door of the court room closed upon the fainting woman Mr. Wilson resumed his exumination, asking what be- came of the child The child died,” was the answer. “Was any communication made to you by his son’s law VIDENCE.

George L. Miller of Omaha was today nominated by President Cleveland to be surveyor of customs for the port of Omaha. It s stated that by the president garded by him of the fight McShane and tho Miller's appointment this move was initiated himself, nd was re as a good out made against James made for Dr. to the Interstate Com- merce ommission, stated in a Bec special last night.

Secretary Morton and National Committee- man Castor both deny that they encouraged the appointment E. M. Steadman, the Treasury department's secret service agent at Omaha, was removed today and Michael J. Hughes of West Point appointed to the place. Steadman’s removal was made solely becanse he was a republican. The news of Dr. Miller's appointment wa rapidly circulated and during the afternoon his office in the city hall was the rendezvous of the democratic phalanxes, who called t offer their congratuls Among the first to ve was Surveyor Alexander, who wisled to be the first to congratulate the new appointee. He was disappointed, how- ever, as Dr. Miller did_not arrive until shortly after 3 o'clock. Mr. Alexander re- marked that he was very much pleased at the selection of Dr. Miller as his suc He had hoped since his name was mentioned that he would be able to turn his office over to him and he believed that in naming Dr. Miller President Cleveland had honored botl himself and his part Dr. Miller found a number of his friends waiting for him when he arrived and re ceived their congratulations with evident pleasure. In speaking of his appointment he said that he felt highly honored, espe- cially as he had made no effort to obtain the office. He had never been an office sceker in any sense of the word. After a good deal of urging he had simply said he would accept the appointment if it was offered him, and had made no effort to influence any one in his favor. All that had been done had been on the part of his friends, whose good offices he fully appreciated.

He has long been prominent in Cuming county politics and fs popular among all parties. He was an ap- plicant for the Chadron land office, but when that was consolidated with the Alliance office and his brother, R. B.

The same measures remain, as they were, the program of the liberal party and it is not intended to recede from any one of them. “The disestablishment of the Welsh church will be pushed to a definite and su cessful conclusion. (Cheers.) In rezard to the Irish question, we arc bound to it by the cause of honor and af- fection. My speech in the House of Lords in 1893 scems to have raised some doubt as to my own position in regard to home rule. Those who have thesc doubts can only have read the speech in a cursory manner. The policy of home rule will not b less defi- nitely pursued. If there is any doubt on the subject, one pledge which the govern- ment has given in this connection Is the continuation in his present office of John Morley, chief secretary of Ireland. (Chcers.) Mr. Morley has been offered a higher ofiice, but he thought it his duly not to sever his career from the cause of Ireland, (Cheers,) “Our late illustrious leader, in his last speech delivered in the House of Commons, made a declaration with which the present government has entirely identified itself. (Cheers.) The conviction has long been forcing itself upon me that, with the demo- cratic suffrage which we now enjoy, a second chamber constituted like the House ot Lords s an anamoly. This con- viction has been strengthened by the unhappy chapter of accider which has turned the House of Lords from a body of hereditary lawgive more or less equally divided, into one g t tory organi- zation entirely at the beck and call of a single party leader. (Cheers.) When the torles were In office the power of veto was not exercised, but the liberals are in power the veto is cxerelsed at the dictates of the tory leader. That is a danger to the constitution to which the liberal govern- ment is not blind, “I do not think, as some of my friend: that the peers should be treated as parlah I do not think that the fact that a man 5 born in a particular position should deba him from the higher opportunities of sery- ing the state, I am not one of those who think that the peerage should be consides a stigma and a bar. But while I remain premier you may be assured that no liberal in the ranks will endeavor more steadfastly to do his duty to the party.” (Loud cheer- ing.) Sir Willlam Vernon der measures Tabor Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, followed. He said that Mr. Gladstone's last speech in regard to the House cf Lords was an inheritance for th party and asserted that this question would prove to be the greatest subject of the future. The Times says that in both houses will the unionist leaders press the government to make a definite statement of their in tention In regard to home rule. The mes further says that a rumor was current last night to the effect that the original draft of the queen's speech contained a paragraph dealing with home rule, but that this was stricken out at the lust moment Mr. Justin McCarthy was re-clected chalr- man of the natioalist party at a meeting of the Irish members held in committee room No. 15 at the Houso of Commons today. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS The House of Commons assembled today after 4 o'clock. The Irish members gave u most enthusiastic welcome to Mr. John Mor ley's announcement of the evieted tenants' bill. After the address in reply to the queen’s speech had been proposed and sec onded, Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, the conserva tive leader, paid a graceful tribute to Mr Gladstone, saying that every member owed Mr. Gladstone a debt of gratitude for having maintained through great parliamentary and fal changes a high standard public lio. Mr. Balfour then, referring to the promised reinstatament of the evicted ten ants, warned the government that the con servativew would oppose any proposal to giv to persons who, for political purposes, ha defied the law a portion of the public funds Any such a measure, Mr. Balfour concluded would be a menace to the future quietude of Ireland and would put a premium on agita tion. Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, the liberal leader, opened his reply to Mr. Balfour with & glowing eulogy of Mr. Gladstoue, dwelling SNGLE COPY FIVE CENT upon the great loss which t sustained. — Sir Willlam said was glad Mr. Balfour admitted the prese = tranquility of Ireland, although he refusi to admit that it was due to the government's policy The government intended to adhie to the bills it had promised and if they were not passed this year they would be passed in 1895, The house would appesd to the country when it had placed the whole liberal policy before it and when it had placed ‘the country in a posi- tion to § of the conduct of the con servative mmons and_Lords, respecting the government's plans. (Cheers and counter cheors.,) \e government came into office upon a distinet statoment of the whole of its policy, and while the majority of its members ‘approved the plans the govern ment would do all In its power to carry them through the House of Commons. The country will immediately judge of the con duct of the House of Lords in regard to pr posed measures, and he believed that home rule would not suffer because it was hung up. Home rule s coming.

Sir William concluded with the announce: ment that there would be no Easter recess d that the government proposed an carly discussion of the finances of India. imothy Harrington, M.

Husbandry, he said, was de- pressed everywhere, The British workman was much botter oft than the American workman, Mr. Vincent's amendment was refocted by a vote of 192 to 86, Adjourncd LORDS RESUME THEIR SITTING. At 4:15 the House of Lords resumed con- sideration of public business. Baron Swan- sea moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Lord Salisbury, after eulo- gizing Mr. Gladstone, said he had no doubt the house would find Lord Rosebery a zeal- ous defender of the legislative privileges of the House of Lords. Lord Salisbury dwelt upon the omission from the program of any reference to international legislation, and especially marked the absence of the home rule question. That, he said, was an issue of the highest importance and ought not to have been laid aside for other questions Lord Rosebery said the government did not desire to evade or shirk the question of home rute for Ireland, but explained that it had not been mentioned in the queen’s speech beeause It would not be introduced during this session. “Lord Salisbury,” the premier said, “‘wants to appeal to the coun- try. We are not afrald to appeal to the country when we think the time is ripe, but we shall never concede to thi embly the right to force a dissolution. Referring to Ireland, the premier said the present satisfactory condition was due to remedial measures and the promise of home rule. Of course the decision rested upon England, but he belicved the conversion of England to home rule would not be a_difficult k when the Irish people showed by thelr conduct that they are worthy of it. [n con- clusion, Lord Rosebery said Ireland would never be contented until she had obtained home rule. Adjourned. Germany Proposes to Coin More Silver. BERLIN, March 12.—Chancellor Von Cap~ rivi today submitted to the Bundesrath a proposal for the colnage of 11, 000,000 marks in G-mark pleces; 7,000,000 marks in 2-mark picces, and 4,000,000 In 1-mark pieces. The Ppropusition was made as a result of the fn- crease in the demand for such coins, and from the fact that the silver coinage has fallen 22,000,000 marks below the authorized limit.

WASHINGTON, March 12.—Advides re- celved at the State department late this afternoon from Minister Thompson at Rlo de Janeiro indicate that the Brazillan rebellion is about ended. The dispatches from Minister Thompson contain the information that Ad- miral da Gama has gone aboard the Portu- guese war vessel Mindelo, now in the harbor at Rlo, and has sent to President Peixoto by the Portugueso officer an offer of surrender on conditions of protection for himself and followers. Two dispatches were received in cipher by the department, which, translated, read as follows: RIO DE JANEIRO, Gresham, Washington Da Gama today, through the Portuguese naval com= mander, offered to surrender to the president. of Brazil, provided he and his followers were B punishment, HOMPSO “RIO JANEIRO, March 12, 1894.— Gresham: Da Gama has gone aboard a Portuguese man-of-war for an asylum. “THOMPSON Secretary Gresham believes this marks the end of the rebellion. There is considerable sur= prise expressed here by those interested in the affairs at Rio that the offer of surrender should have been made through the Portus guese commander, who up to this time has not shown any partieular disposition to take any hand in the conflic It is not thought that the act of the Portu- guese In receiving da Gama is necessarily an act of sympathy with the insurgents.

Minister Mendonca admitted this evening that he had received news of the surrend. but he was unwilling to give out any in formation concerning the exact tevms of da Gama's offer of surrender or discuss tho probable action of the Brazilian government, He sald, however, that he had no doubt final settlement had been made by the {ime he was speaking, or would certainly be made tos morrow.
