'Mis Pollard, you said yesterday that your relations with the defen laut contmued after Ins marriage. "After his secret marriage." "Did you bars auy suspicion nbout that inarriaget" "No; but I knew ha had heen with Mrs Wing, iu New York, aud 1 askd him about it. Ue answered by telliug nit there was uothing between them, aud be maligned her, he spoke of her in language 1 cannot repeat, and thu it would be hard for any one to belters, and stiil that she was engagsd to be married to Lieutenant Chauibrlain, of the army, aud this was ail after his secret marriage." "Did you believe there was nothing between Colonel Breckinridge au 1 Mrs. Wing?' . ''He told me that she wis a very wordly woman and I csrtuiuly became suspicious that he should spen d twelve days with a worldly woman." "'Miss Pollard, did you and Colonel Breckinridge have some scenes about this time?" "Ob. yvg," sho criel scornfully, "life with that mu couldn't b:) all happi ness to everybody." "Did you go to Nw York about the tiin of this marriage?'1 "Yes sir, I went to New York on April 89 last and saw Uolonel Breckin ridge on May 1, two days after his marriage. " "Did vou register as his daughter at the Hulfinan House: ' "Yal sir, ou May 17." ''Did you threaten to shoot him in bis room there? ' "Yes, sir." This reply was made quietly and in a matter-of-fact tone. Then Judge Wilson asked if the de fense admitted the marriage on April 29. Major Butterworth admitted it and made tbt first formal announce ment of the ceremony JUDGK WILSON S OPINION. Judge Wilson made the point that since the marriage of the defendant, on April 89, was admitted, anything that happened subsaiiuent to that date was not competent evidence Judge Bradley overruled Judge Wil son's point on the ground that the mat ter hnd heen brought iu on direct ex amination. Mr. Breckinridge she aid, had joined her on the Monday night of his marriage at the Hoffman Home, and said he might have to go awav. He said a big company had been formed with Mr. Whitney, Mr. Faircbild and other rich men with a capital of $d0, 000,000 and that tney were going to couitnisdon him to go abroad, and he wanted to know if I wonld marrr him and go abroad with him. I said: 'Willie, I will go with you at a min ute's notice." He went out, asking me to put some of his clothes together, ami I looked over his telescope hag and found a re volver in it. 1 became suspicions at this.for he had been acting very oddly. He said he had gone out to see Mr Whitney and Mr. Fairchild. I tele phoned them. They had not seen him He said he might have to go away that night on a private car. I wrote to the general manager nt the Grand Central station and he said no private cur was there. Then he came back and acted very queerly. I asked him if he intended to keep his solemn promise to marry me; and ho said: "Madeline, I never lovod an other woman as I love you, my darling, I have never thought of another wo mannever a thought but of you has been in my mind. Miss Pollard's imitation of Colonel Breckinridge's tones of voice was ver y good and caused a laugh. I told him him if he did not marry me, I wool 1 kill both him and myself and he swore he would marry me and removed my suspicions, CONTEMI'LATKD SUICIDE. Miss Pollsrd admitted frankly that she had bought a pistol to kill the de fendant and herself She had also bought a pistol in February, 1898, to kill herself alone. All this was after be was married to Mrs. Wing. The scene during all this examina tion was tragic and exciting, Miss Pollard leaning forward iu ths witness box and looking squarely at Colonel Breckinridge as she delivered her charges against him. Miss Pollard told of the sensational call on Major Moore, the chief-of police, whan she gave up a pistol to htm. Hhe told of her wanting to go away after Mr. Breckinridge's wife died to stay two years until he could marry her, hut he begged her not to go'aud she yielded to him. "I always yielded" eaid Miss Poll ard. At 8 o'clock Judge Bradley ad journed the court and Miss Pollard quickly made her way out of tbe court room.

Tunis, March 20 Louis Kossuth, ths Hungarian patriot, died at 11 e tonight. The body of Kossuth will be interred in Genoa, near that of his daughter. Edinond de Annuls, the Italian author, will deliver a funeral oration in the name of Italy. The obsequies will be imposing, and will lie attended by a great gathering of Hungarians. Louis Kossuth, the eminent Hungarian orator and statesman, was born of a noble family at Monok, in the county of Zemp lin, in 18'.'. He studied law tit tho Prot estant college of Sarosdatak, and joined the popular party in opposing the despotic polioy of Austria. Having offended the government by his writings, he was im p'isone'l three years (0), The diet of 1840 refused to rant supplies during the imprisonment of Kcssuth, who was conse quently liberated. In 1841 he married Th res MeSltenyt, and began to edit a daily newspaper at Pestb, called "Pesti Hirlap." the tone of which was liberal, but not radical or democratic. He was elected a member Of tbe diet by the national party of Poeih In im7. and acquired a blab repu tation as 1111 ornlor. In March, 1848, the diet adopted a proposition made by Koss uth, the object of which was the appoint ment of a responsible Hungarian ministry, bs a pledge of constitutional reforms. Kossnth aud others were sent as a deputa tion to Vienna, and obtained the assent of the emperor, then conscious of the pres sure of a powerful revolutionary move ment. KoS-ulh Induced the diet to vote tho perfect equnllty of civil rights and public burdens for all classes, and t ex tend the right of suffrage. Ho became minister of finance In the new ministry formed In April, 1848, Although the bene tils of these reforms wre shared by the Croatian! and eervians, an anti-Magyar party was soon formed in 1 routia by the Intrigues of Austrian agent. The Croa- tietis. directed bv Jellaohieh and secretly aided by Austria, revolted against Hun gnry. and began hostilities by the massacre of villagers on the frontier. 1 11 June, 1848, the Austrian curt openly sanctioned the movements of the Croatian insurgents Kossuth believed that tbe time had come to defend by anus tbe constitution and the national independence. He called for the levy of v!(R),iK)H men, which was granted by tho diet. In September, I84s. Jellacuteh wns defeated in battle, aud Kossuth was elected president of a committee of de fense. Alter the secoml insurrection nt Vienna, O. tober, 184s, the Hungarian army advanced to tho assistance of the Liberals of that capital, but was repulsed at Bchwechat, The Austrian general Wind ischgratz then iuvaled Hungary, took Pestb, Biid committed uieat ationties A war of extermination followed, ami the Austrian! were defeated Hi mwoiuI battles. in April, 184H, the Hungarians renounced allegiance to the house of Hapsburg, ami chose Kossuth governor or dictator. Hut tho intervention of liussia rendered the heroic efforts anil sucritlc.es ,,f the Hun garians unavailing. The victories gained by Dembiuski, Klapka and Hem served only to prolong the national agony. Koss uth, after a disagreement with Gorger, whom ln accused of treachery, resigned his office on the 11th of August, 184U and wont Into exile. He retired to Turkey and mi imprisoned nt KiHaieh. Through the Intervention of England and ths Uni ted States he was released in August, 18.M.
