He had known the defendant as a state 1, soldier and a friend, and you may speed It on the lightning’s wings that to whom Ben Butter- worth was a friend in his prosperty, he will not turn his back on in adversity. This statement was followed by an outbreak of applause from the spectators. Judge Brad- ley leaned forward and rapped on his desic ORDERED TO CLEAR THE ROOM. “Now, you may cle : court room,” he said to the baili » had enough 11.—Col peech ag day Dility from in th improba- marrlage plaintift of to the her story she vehement have been sman with sald ntucky arsenal t K up coat tails here sco 1f there were walking Talk this you a manner began ation that an end He Poll hispe: No one stirred and the judge said: one who is not a member of the have to leave the court room.'

All lawyers from outside the city are welcome here. But there are others sitting here that are not members of the bar to_my knowledge.” More men were ushered out by the bailiffs, but more than half of the sp: s mained. Then Mr. Butterwoth reviewed the childhood of Miss Pollard, as described by :If. Mr. Butterworth said he had him- ich at stake as the honored cou: for the plaintiff. He had.a wife and daugh- ter. He could not afford that justice should not be done. He was not here to the conduct of Colonel Breckinrid did he knew that the colonel would ( him from the case. The country had solicitous about a 16-year-old sehool but there was no such person in the If she had been but 16 why had not mother been called to prove it?

The other side had tal about the fascination of a silver tengue. That was stale, Major Butterworth said. He paid a tribute to the bravery of Colonel Breckinridge, and declared that the jury knew t uch a man was not bad at heart. He was going on to describe how, if Colonel Breckinridge smiled, people said he was a monster; it he looked grave they said he was shamming, but if Miss Pollard laughed they said, “‘Behold, she smiles, even through a veil of teai CALLED DOWN BY Judge Bradley interposed, saying: ‘‘Mr. Butterworth, don't you think you had better confine yourseif to the evidence in the case?

Incidentally, Mr. Butterworth paid a tribute to Mary Anderson, as a Kentucky girl, who under the most ady circumstances had acquired the greatest prominence. Madeline Pollard, he said, had her hands about the star and was trying to pull it down, the star being W. C. P. Breckinridge. What had taken place between them had occurred many times before and would occur many times although it was to be regretted. the private letter (the letter Miss ollard alleges is a forgery) had been written Madeline Pollard or William C. P. Breckin- zo, the worthy successor of the Clays, the Breckinridges, the Blackburns, save for ono lapse. The chilling atmosphére which surrounds a pure woman was painted with apostrophe to mothers, sisters, sweethearts and wives, and then the occurrence in the firs ride was rehersed. Mr. Butterworth aid he was willing to give Miss Pollard credit for being a great genius in certain lines, but the hardest part of her story to believe was that part of it in which she stated that in that half hour in the hovel of Sarah Guess', while the de- fendant had gone home to his dinngr, she d thought over the whole matter, had given up life, had decided s life s jury COMPARED The sp: honor, friends and future and to enter into Colonel Breckin and Mr. Wilson would tell that as though he believed it, TO DELILAH, aker told some funny stories about pades, and went on to com- the plaintif to Delilah, who had got \ds in the bair of a Samson and then en willing to pull down the temple over herself to acomplish his ruin. Further on he declared that there was no memento of all these years of affection save that lit- tle willow basket, 5o lately handled by the fingers of his dead wife, brought Into the case for no other purpose than to make his fault seem more abhorrent, C. P. Breck- jnridge had never given to his mistress the fons of his wife before her grave clothes had crumbled. “I can forglye him for anythix sald the lawyer to the jury, “but t talked to his mistress of his dead wif Such were woman, after th only way to make d wis to take them After she had once clasped arms she would follow them gates of hell Mr. Butterworth asked the court for an adjournment shortly before 4 o'clock, as he was greatly exhausted.
