THE SENSATIONAL CASE OPENED
Examination of Witnesses for the
Prosecution Convincing Testi
mony of the Widow of Ex-Governor
Blackburn The Fair Plaintiff
Weeps While the Defendant Chats
Unconcernedly with His Counsel.
Mr. Carlisle's Forcible Arraign
ment. Washington, March i)
ONE of tbe tint pertout to enter
the circuit court room this
morning was Miss Madeline Pol
lard, tue plaintiff iu the rait
a,iiu8t Cougressm in W. P. U Brsck
inridge. This was tbf first sight of the plain
tiff vouchsafed to the scandal lovers
who crowded tbe court. aud for a
quarter of an bour before the trial be
gun the was tbe target of nil eyes and
tbe subject of many curious comments.
Mis Pollard is au attractive-looking
young woman, whose appearance would
indicate tbat sue baa attaiued 30 years,
with a slender, girlish figure, which
was covered ly a louif black ulster.
Her face w uearly coloriest, with a
small, piquant mouth, upturned nose,
fiasniug black eyes and heavy dari
brown hair. 5?he wore a small black
bonnet.
Two ladies accompanied her and sat
betide her at tbe table with her couu
lel, directly in trout of tne judge. One
of them, an elderly lady '!re-s I in
black, was one of tne sisters of the Epis
copalian House of Kefu.'e.iu which Miss
Pollard is Sheltered. The other who
at beside tne plaintiff, was a well
dressed lady of middle age, Who figured
as friend of Mis Poilird, but whose
identity every one vainly eudeavored
to discover." Miss Pollard's lawyer
were not communicative on the point,
and tbe lady nam remains a my
tery. Miss 'Pollard seemid quite at her
ease. Her face was covered with a
thin veil, which in no way concealed
her feature. Sbe talked with her
lawyers most of the time prior to court
convening.
MR. CARLISLE OPENS THK CAM,
The trial was really commenced
when Mr. Calderon Carlisle faced the
jury, leaning languidly against a table
and in deliberate conversational tones
outlined tne matters which the plaintiff
wonld endeav it to prove. He con
trasted the position of two partiti
ons a man of family, of political
prominence, high in tbe councils of tbe
Presbyterian chnrch, famous through
out the country as an orator; tbe other
a friendless young woman Some
thing was sai 1 about the lagal aspects
of the case. Then he began to read the
declaration which was Dnblisned in
fnll when the suit was brought, alleg
ing how Colonel Br-clfinridue- had
taken advantageof Miss Pollard's youth
when lie was a girl of 19 at tbe Wes
layan Female seminary, and then
further alleging tbat he was the father
of her three children , tbat he bad in
tbe presense of credible witnesses
promised to marrv her, having previ
ously made tbe promise to become her
huiDand when his wife should die. that
he had married insteed a Miss Lonise
Wing, of Louisville, that Miss Pollard
had endeavored to leave him and make
a earer for herself, bnt bad been per
suaded to continue as his mistress be
cause of her love for him.
THK PLAINTIFF AOlTATEIi.
During the reading Miss Pollard
flushed crimson. She trembled vio
lently ond buried her faca in a hand
kerchief. Colonel Breckenridge chatted
in a matter of fart way with hi law
yer. A'torney Calderon Carlisle is a
snave, polished gentleman, with a
high bred air. 1 la spoke in a manner
devoid of any cnrt-room embellish
ments, so that his address was the more
effective, as he laid down the docu
ment, concluding !
'That, gentlemen, is the story of my
client. She does not come here saying
tbat she is devoid of fault or blame,
but there it the promise of marriage
and ita breach, the isme of this case."
MRS. BLACK LURNS TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Julia Blackburn, widew of Ex
Governor Luke Blackburn, of Ken
tuck, was the first witness eulled. Sue
stated that Breckinridun in her pres
ence said he would marry Slltl Pollard.
The testimony of Mrs. Blackbnrn
was interesting. She said she lived in
Louisville. In answer to Mr. Carlisle
she saiil she knew Colonel Breckinridge
and Miss Pollard. She had seen them
together in her own apartments in this
city on Good Friday In 181)3. When
be entered the room Colon 1 Breckin
ridge said: "Mrs. Blackburn, I want to
plane this young lady under your pro
tection, I expect her to become nearer
to me, and she needs your motherly
care. I expect to mnrry her when a
sufficient time has elapsed after the
death of my wife."
Colonel Breckenridge had also talked
with the witness about the engage
ment at other times. At one time he
apoke of the disparity between the ages
of Misa Pollard and himself, and she
agreed that suoh marriages were fool

UU eophy in the following u 'PritCO
th osopbittt nroini to fnrnith tome
lively news when Hirophant William
y Judge, of New York arrives here
next mouth to take park in the eighth
annual convention of the theosopbiats
in America Judge promised to come
oere last fall to settle serious diflier
ences in the looal society, but be failed
to keep hi promUe, so tbe quarrel has
bet n smoldering ever sine .
It originated in the uicovery by
Mr. Allen W. Griffiths, wife of the
I'ucitio ooatt lectarer of the society, of
a package of letters written to her hns
bsnd by Mrs. Vra Stanislaus Beane,
Secretary of the society. Mr, (irifflth
was overcome when she read these
letters for they ware ardent in tone an 1
hopes were expressed of mutual felicity
when their hands were free from pre
sent fetters. Mr, (trilfiths has great
confidence in bef husband, wnom she
likna to Joseph in his power of resist
ing temptation, but sue at once com
plained to Jndgt that Mrs. Beane
should be deposed. Judge counseled
secrecy and promised to come out and
give the matter his personal attention,
bnt failed. So Mrs QrilHths proposed
to go into the convention with these
letters unless Ju lge force Mrs, Beane
to retire from her position.
awkward for tiiic hif.rophast.
What make it awkward for Hiero
nhutit Judge is that he is u great ad
mirer of Mrs. Beane. LTpon bis desk in
New York are two pictures, one of
Madame Blavatsky and tbe other of
Mrs. Besne.and the 'Frisco theotophist
is far the handsomer woman. She is
of middle age, but she has great per
sonal mignetiiin and is remarkably
wtdl preserved. She seems to attract
men, for she always has a large follow
ing even when younger women are
present. Henne jealousy has arisen,
and if Mrs. Griffith pro luce her com
promising letter there will not be any
monrning among tho pretty young fe
male theosopnists.
B-sides acting as arbitrator in this
case Hirophant Jndge will have to
look closely after his fences or he mav
be deposed from the general secretary
ship. Much bitter feeling has been
aroused against him in California by
what is claimed as his illicit methods
of canvsssiug for support. He is ac
cused of utilizing Mahatmic letters to
strengthen his influence. Several
prominent thfosophists here have re
ceived Mahatmic letters in such queer
American wording as "Stick by Judge"
and "Stand by Judge."
A Mahatmic letter is written on light
fine rice pap r, thought tobemanu
lactnred in Tuibt only. Th writing
is In red or blue The theory is that
no Bttbljt hand impresses the seetenc -s
on paper. I tie writing l atir'huted
to a preelpttation of color. The Ma -hat
ma thinks what he wishes written
and immediately the ptper is marked
with the words, the color falling from
the atmosphere.
it may OAl'SF. A ROW.
A the Mahaluia knows what each
adept i doing, he is thus able to slip
one of his letttr into the same envel
ope with an earthly l"tter. The theos
opbilt who receive such an enclosed
letter is sworn not to reveal the secret,
but the indignation of some local be
liever proved too strong for their
oath. One case here excited much
comment snd will b brought before
the ooming convention. While Judge
was making his tour on this ooatt a
Mahatmic letter was received by a
theosophist of note in India. It urged
strongly tht support of Jndge It was
in a letter which a gentleman in South -trn
California sent to the theosophist
iu tbe Orient
The latter doiibttl the authenticity
of the Mahatmic message, and, with
out alluding toil, he, in replying, in
quired where Judge was at the time
bis correspondent wrote. He learned
that Judge was at the Callfomlan'l
house. Judge has been directly seem
ed of being the author of the so-called
Mahatmic letters. Thb skepticism
about these airy epistles in on the in
crease and the alms of tbe Mahatmic
letter will be ventilaUd at this conven
tion Among prominent theosophist who
will attend t he convention are: Secre
