pf the night before had the uncut
of reducing the Attendance at the
district court this morning to the
QJJ
tlnnnest audience yet gathered, and
some of the men present wore a sheep
ish air.
The defense made nn unexpected
move by calling Miss Pollard to the
stand questioning her about the birth
of her seend child, which she savs was
born at noon on Feomary 3. 1888.
only held it in my arms two hours
according to my promise to htm, " shJ
began.
"Now, now, Miss Pollard," Mr. But
terworth began nervously, warning
Miss Pollard with great solicitude to
confine herself to answering bis qnet
tions, Mr. Wilson also admonished
her.
The child had been taken to the
Protestant Foundling asvlnm on Four
teenth street in Washington, wh-re
she had visited it with Dr. Mary Par
sons ouco.
The second time she saw the child
was on May 3 at the undertaker's
establishment (Wright's) beforo it was
bnried. When Mr. Butterworth ask ad
how the funeral expenses had been paid
she said that Mrs. Parsons had looked
after that.
Miss Pollard had been perf'ctly self-
possessed wlulo she was being ques
tioned about her cuild and had tpjken
in a low, aliriot plaintive tone. "I
don't know much about those things,
you know, Mr. Butterworth," she had
said wh?n he was asking her about the
regulations of the Foundling asylum.
WITNESSES FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
After reoess the plaintill called
Charles Sawyer, a nephew of Mrs.
Keen, Mise Pollard's aunt H wai
examined to prove that during the
period from 1880 to 1883 with the ex
ception of one brb'f t-Mi days vistt to
her uncle at (Irnftonsburg, Christm as
ihb'i. Miss Pollard had nnver been ab
sent from her aunt's at night. Another
relative of Miss Pollard's, George II.
liean, corroborated bawyer s testi
mony.
Mrs. Brown, who was vice-president
of Wesleyan college in Cincinnati when
Miss Pollard was a student there, w is
the next wituess. When tho inter
course between the plaintiff and de
fendant began Mrs. Brown produced
the record of the college for the year
1883, and identified the entry under
JHiks follara s name.
Guided by Mr. Carlisle, Mrs. Brown
proeeeded to contradict II. Rankin Ro
8 1), who had testified he broke his en
gagement with the plaintiff because
she allowed him to "kiss h r and hng
hr" in the reception rooms of tb9 col
lege, "Certainly not," said Mrs. Brown to
a question whether the rules of the col
lege permitted a student to entertain a
guest for nn hour and a half to two
hours in tho reception rooms. Mrs.
Brown added that even girls who were
engaged were not permitted to see
their fiances exeept on Fridny evening
and then pub icly.
STOKY OF Til F. T Yl'EWUITF.R,
Mr. Louise Lowell, the typewriter
who had testified that Colonel Breckin
ridge had brought her a letter to copy,
beginning "My Dear Sister Louise,"
and had also employed her toaddross
envelopes to Miss Pollard, was recalled
by the plaintiff and asked by Judge
Wilson to tell what was in the "Sister
Louise" letter. Mrs Lowell said : "The
writer spoke of great love between the
two and the disparity in their ages,
that no two persons in the Baffle family
with so great a difference In their ages
could love each other so dearly,"
"Do you remember any communi
cation that had a peculiar address to
It?"
"One letter was addressed 'My Dear
Spitfire' or 'My Dear Miss Spitfire.' "
"Do you remember anything that
was eaid in the letters?"
"In one of the letters that I remem
ber vary distinctly much doubt was
expressed ag to the letters having
reached their destination, and said: 'If
you receive this letter write me a postal
card, asking me for a report of the
civil service commission and sign it
Mary Smith."'
MAKY WAS ENGAQF.D.
Mary Yancey, the servant girl at
Mrs. Thomas', where Miss Pollard
boarded and where Colonel Breckin
ridge sa;d she attempted to take bis
life, took the stand to tell thai Colonel
Breckinridge said to her that he want
ed her to live with him when "he and
Madeline went to housekeeping."
Mary was shown the little decora
tive basket that belonged to the late
Mrs. Breckinridge, which Miss Pollard
said was given her by the defendant,
and which Colonel Breckinridge said
he had not seen since it was taken from
bis home, "Have yon ever seen that
basket,'1 asked Judge Wilson.
"Thousands of times," said Mary.
"Did yon see it one day when Colonel
Breckinridge toon lunch at Mrs
Thomas'?"
"Yes, sir. I saw Miss Mndelino sit
ting in the parlor on the sofa with the
basket in her lap and Colonel Breckin
ridge sitting beside her. She used the
basket for a work basket, and it had a
blue bow and blue silk lining."
Mary said that from the kitchen she
ooold see Colonel Breckinridge and
Miss Pollard in tho parlor. "He wonld
throw bis arms about her aud kiss her
almost uninterrupted,"

7l LTIIOUUa Coxev's army left
their camp at Allegheny City
nnder police directions and ure-
u U fcriptions, the reception given
them on its march out of Pittsburg to
the town was none tho less overwhelm
ingly an ovation. The men marched
through a solid line of people, packing
the streets along the eutir route, a
distance of throe miles.
Passing out into tho Brownsville
road, tho long, straggling column filed
up the uneven road to the tune of a bast-
drum, naver baiting because of the
rainstorm that blew np.
At Beck's Run tho Homestead dele
gation headed by Elmer Bails met and
conducted the army to the location of
the camp of Homestead and its house
on the river. As the nrmv entered the
town it was halted by Officer Qossosr
and Carl Browne was notified that he
must restrict his men to the camp lim
its or they would be arrested. Twenty
police were put on duty and an attempt
made to enforce tho regulation. A
nnmber of prominent citizns made an
objection and It was not carried.

main Hungarians and Slavs and densely
ignorant. Some of (Joxey s supporters
fear that this element will make tbe
amir a disorderly body.
As it now stands the entire force
numbers about 500, consequently the
question of fee ling and caring for the
men has become n very serious one.
The commissary wagons were loaded
down on their way out of Pittsburg
with shoes, socks, clothing, etc., and an
immenio quantity of provisions wer
distributed among thrn this evening.

CTplERK was n curious conflict of

Constitutional question between
two southern senators who usu

to be spreading in the Dakotas aud

while criticising some of its provisions,
propounded some theorios which ng

He was told, however, that thoy wore
not intended to be "plansible" so as to
