Miss Pollard said that once on a lecturing trip’to New Eng- land shie had accompanied Mr. Breckinridge. During her stay at Mrs. Thomas’, at 1918 H street, Was ngton, in 1892 and 1893, she had scen Colonel Breckinridge at least once a day, sometimes twice a day and often in the evening. had spoken of the engage- ment to Thomas and she repeated the circumsta related by Witness Francis, pronouncing the name Frawnces, as did the young man. Colonel Breckinridge had pressed regret that she had met Francis because he knew many Kentuckians and th cngagement would be spread all over Ken- tucky before they were ready to have it known. The visit to Mrs, Blackburn wa hearsed by Miss Pollard, who Colonel Breckinridge had introduced her to Mrs, Blackburn with these words: I want to place this young lady under your protec- tion, for I Intend to make her my wife. She Is a great deal to me now, and will be a great deal more.” She repeated the partic- ulars of Mr. Breckinridge's visit to Mrs. Blackburn, when she had explained to her the engagement, and spoke also of the in- stance when Colonel Breckinridge had placed his arm around her, saying ‘He was most affectionate and most kind." “I asked Mr. Breckinridge then, as he wa talking of going to Chicago, to name the da, when he would marry me. I think I knel down beside him and put one arm over his shoulder, but Mrs. Blackburn objected.” This was on Sunday, May 14, 1892, The preced- Ing day she had visited the office of Dr Lincoln with Colonel Breckinridge and the same day went to the office of Chief of Police Major Moore, a visit which that official had described on the stand. The second visit to Major Moore was May 17. Then going back almost ten years to the time of her first meeting the defendant, Miss Pollard testified: “In April of 1884 I was called to see my sister, who was sick at Frankfort. Mr. Rhodes had put me on the car at Lexington. Before the train had gone far a gentleman came to me saying ‘Your face seems very familiar; don't I know you? I replied, ‘I think not, but I know you. You are Colonel Breckinridge.’ He asked if he could come and sec me. I sald: ‘My mother and aunt would be very glad to see you.' After a short conversation he left me." 5 Miss Pollard’s version of her relations with Mr. James C. Rhodes did not vary essentially from the reports heretofore pub- lished and which are familiar to newspaper readers. also re- ed that NJOINED TO BE SILENT. She went to the St. James hotel in Cin- clunati in February, 1885, by Colonel Breol inridge’s direction, to consult with female physiclans, Stie was particularly enjoined not to xay anything that would gonnect him with her condition at that time. In reply to questions by Mr. Carlisle, Miss Pollard sald Colonel Breckinridge furnished the money to defray her expenses at Ci cinnati and the foundling asylum, and that Colonel Breckinridge was the father of the child to which she gave birth May 29, 1885, She denied with all the emphasis of which she was capable that she had, ever since she met Colonel Hreckinridge,” had sex: inter- course with any other man. Colonel Breck dge had taken her to the Elsmere in where she passed under the name of Foster, Colonel Breckinridge represent- himself as Mr. Foster. She left the re in a few days because Colonel Sam had recognized Colonel Breckinridge and told people in the house that his name was not Foster Attorney Stoll asked if she still had a cer tain note fro Colonel Breckinridge, which was mentioned casually, and Miss Poll d: 1 presume It is destroyed. Colonel inridge always told me to destroy all his letters and I obeyed until recently.” Miss Pollard also testified concerning the Ing Elsm birth of her second child in 1888, and re- counted the numcrous fashionable boarding houses in which she had been installed by Colonel Breckinridge. Miss Pollard produced, on request of her counsel, all letters and telegrams from Colonel Breckinridge that she had reserved. All contain terms of endearment. There was also a copy in Miss Pollard’s handwriting of a note she had sent the defendant, which began: “My Dear Willle, Miss Pollard's frame was shaking with suppressed emotion when she was led from the court room on the arm of the elderly sister from the House of Refuge. “From the night he took me to Sarah's in 1884, said Miss Pollard, dramatically, “there never was a suggestion of a discontinuance of these miserable relations until he left me with all sorts of promises, pleadings and lov- ing words on the 19th of May, 189: BRECKINRID SECRET MARRIAGE, Colong Wedded Iis lr(-x(-nl‘ Wife Be- fore He Promised to Marry My NEW YORK, March 16.—The E Post will say: A certificate of the mar- riage of W. C. P. Breckinridge to Louisa B, S. Wing, dated April 20, 1893, was sent to the health department yesterddy from the idence in this city of Rev. Dr, John R. Paxton, formerly of the Wesf . Presby- terlan church. 1t sets for(h that Dr. Pax- ton officlated and that the ceremony was witnessed by Eleanora N. Collier and Mary L. Paxton. It 's thought that the document may play an important part in Miss, Pol- lard's suit a, nst Congressman Breckin- ridge. The congressman was publicly mar- ried to Mrs. Wing last July, but since the trial of the present suit it had been hinted that the defense would prove that the was a former secret marriage which would show that the defendant was not legally in <@ Dodition to agree to marry Miss Pollard at the time, when, according to witnesses for the plaintiff, he did so contract One of the chief witnesses for the plaintiff, Colonel Moore, chief of police of Washington, testificd that Breckinridge and Miss Pollard went to his office on May 13 of last year, and that In his presence the congressman declared he would marry Miss Pollard on May 81. He- fore that time, as Is shown, he was married in this city to his present wife. Under the rules of the bureau of vital statistics, mar- riage certificates should be filed for entry in the books within thirty days, but they may be legally recorded at any time within a year and then formally registered, Loaligl HIGHWAYMEN BLUFFED, Nervy Man from th Platte Stands Of Two Robhers, Hoffman of North Platte, who is here as a witness in the postofiice robbery case in the federal court, was held up at 9 o'clock Thursday night at Twenty-fourth and 1zard streets.

He revolver in his pocket, and promptly called it into action, He stood them off with it and backed away. This course was followed for about a block, and the footpads gava up the attempt to get his roll.

Among tho hundreds of country m hants from ) braska, Towa, and even more distant states who have visited Omaha during the past three wecks the prevailing sentiment con- firns the cxperience of the jobbers. W but very few exceptions the retallers assert that their business is entirely sa factory That does not ne arily mean that the are selling as many goods as in more pros- perous years, but they are having a steady trade that shows continual improvement and | nditions around them a them to branch out would have bel 1 such as to more- frecly possible a the ¢ encoura than the; month ago.

The farmers have never been hard up, except in their imaginations, and as they discuss (he promise of an abundant crop their fears are vanishing and their pocketbooks are beginning to loosen up, much to the gratification of the store- keeper. Almost without exception the merchants who are now buying thelr spring stocks in this city claim * that their prospects are go0d and they ¢xpect to do a good business all through the season. There is a better feeling in the trade -that is gathering strength with every sumshiny day, and its effect s manifested bOth in the growing confidence of the merehants and in the in creasing liberality of thelr orders.
