WAsnraoTOX, Mnrch 23. Tlio defense In
the I'ollnrtl-Hreeklnrltlge trlnl took n now
tnck yestcrdtiy, nnd ventured upon the
troubled en of expert testimony. Two
witnesses well known In Wnshlttnton, Dr.
E. M. ShnlTer, tho deputy coroner of tlio
District of Colurabln, and Mr. Edwin 13.
liny, nn nttorney who Is something of a
locnl Chnuncey bepew, appeared for the
Kentucky congressmnn, nnd their state
ments were directed to the support of tho
contention that the hnnd of JlndeltnePol
Inrd penned tho black bordered letter
Written In 1884, which she has most em
phatically disavowed twice over on the
witness stand. Great stress is laid by the
defense upon tho authenticity of this let
ter, not only because It runs counter to
the testimony of tho plaintiff that Colonel
Breckinridge first called upon her at tho
Weslcyan academy of her own volition,
bnt becouso they think If she can be
proven false on one Important detail her
whole statement will bo Impeached. Tho
signature to the letter, also, goes to sup
port the opening statement of tho defense
on a minor detail, vlz.s That Miss Pollard
had ndopted nt thnt time tho middle name
of Breckinridge. Tills letter which has
figured so conspicuously In tho case, and
which tlio defense will fight to get beforo
the jury, is as follows:
Wnst.EYAN Coi.I.Earj, July 20, 1801.
Doar Colonel IlreoklnrlrtRo: Your lotter enme
to mo on Saturday. I am glad you told mo It
would bo inconvenient to come out here to tho
college, for If you hntl gone to ever such a lit
tle trouble to listen to what sometimes over
burdens a schoolgirl's mind you might bo In
clined to be provoked with yourself. A preach
er's opinion nf my little affairs would cause
premature gray hnlrs, where jour opinion
might clear away all doubts and fenrs and
let me bo qtilto free hearted again. 1 think I
have prepared you for a divorce ease, but
listen, it is worse than that. If a certain per
son should advance funds for my tuition here
at school for three years under tho promise
thnt I marry him nt the expiration of that
tlmo, could he do anything if I would not
marry him, but teach nnd refund him nil lio
had advanced? 1 know you think, why tho
deception? Hut on no other terms will ho
agree. When a girl wants nothing but a good
educntlon, but menns to obtain such nro de
nied her, what is she to do but take the only
chance sho Is ever likely to hnvc. I liked your
face, nnd I am sure I would llko you, nnd If
nt nny futuro time you are in tho city nnd
would caro to come around remember that
homo f nc es aro always welcome.
I am very respectfully yours,
Madeline B. Poi.r,AnD.
For tho first time yestcrtlay the keen
cToss-exnminatlon power of Judge Jero
"Wilson, whose work has been nwaited witli
interest by his fellow lawyers, was brought
Into play. It was first exercised upon
Major Moore, the chief of police, who was
called back to illsputo some of Miss Pol
lard's statements regarding tho two Inter
views in his office during which Colonel
Breckinridge repeated his promises to
mnrry her, and afterwards Mr. Wilson
stirred up such n cloud of verbal dust
nrountl the expert testimoney of Dr.
Shaffer that tho spectators hardly knew
whether the letter purported to have come
from tho plaintiff to the defendant or the
reverse.
Tlio testimony of Messrs. Shaffer nnd
, Hay was unshaken by cross-oxnminatlon.
It was to the effect thnt the letter In dis
pute and the letters which Miss Pollard
i acknowledged ns her- was written by the
same hand. The crosB (Uestlnning de
veloped tne lact mat nr. Miniler una re
ceived WO per day for similar services as
an expert.
Major Moore's examination was brief.
He denied that In either of the two inter
views Colonel Ilreckinritlgo bad said:
" This Is ono of life's tragedies," or that
ho had said anything about MKs Pollnrd
bearing two children or being inn delicate
condition, In neither Interview had Col
onel Breckinridge said: "She knew I was
a married man when she took me," nor
hntl Miss Pollard snid: "Yes, I gave my
belf to him,"
When Judge Wilson asked if anything
had been said or dono in tho second inter
view to indicate that tlio promise of mar
riage was merely a scheme between the
two parties not mnde in good faitli tlio
defense was strenuoi, tn its objections,
protesting that It cl" d for mi opinion
which should bo tho province of tho jury,
not of a witness. Judge Bradley admitted
it, however, and the major said not l ntr
had been done of the bort toindica.j n
Echemo such as had been described.
Today bids fair to be the great day of
tho trial, for unless the cross-examination
of two intervening witnesses is too long
drawn out the fllvcr tongued defeudaut
himself will, beforeadjourumeut, mount a
rostrum of n kind in which he has not
figured before, and will begin his version
of tli long intrigue.

DESERTED GLOUCESTER
Tlia Only llac Horses Remaining Are
Held hj the dtierlrr.
CAHDEK, N. J Mnreh 28. That tho Inst
hope of horse racing nt Gloucester has ex
pired wns evidenced yesterdny when the
last of the racers which have been winter
ing In tho stables at thotrackwercshipped
to the wet. The only horesuow remain

the sheriff, held to sntisfy feed bills con
tracted by their owners.
At one time in tin- history of the Glou
cester track not less tlinn 1,500 rnco horses
were stnbled there and In the Immediate
vicinity. Now there are about fifty speci
mens Ieftnt tho plnce, nnd they nre likely
to bo disposed of soon at sheriff's sale.
I Here were 590 days of actual racing nt the
Gloucester track, lasting from .Inn. ar,
1S02, to Nov. 31. lfttl. There was but one
day of Intermission in all that time. Over
18,000 people witnessed the closing race,
and It was estimated that the averaire
dally attendance was 3,000 from the llrst
day. It is further estimated thut 'William
J. Thompson derived a revenue of not less
than $1,000 a day from the track.
Itloucester Is now a deserted vlllaire.
Nothing is left of It hut the shad fisheries,
and they belong to Thompson, anil some
manufacturing interests which afford n
scout living to the inhabitants. It is
rumored that Thompson proposes to make
it a summer resort of unique charades.

navy department who were apprised of the
contents of the telegrams. They had sin
cerely hoped that the efforts that had been
undertaken to save her hull would be suc
cessful and that she would yet bo service
able as n training ship or could be set
aside for exhibition as n relic of her deeds
in the late war.
As tho telegrnms do not Indicate tlio
caute of the burning of tho vessel thero is
some curiosity to learn the details. Tho
impression, however, is thnt it is the work
of the untivus of New Providence aud
vicinity. The belief is that they set lire
to the hull of the vessel lu order to secure
tho brass and other metal used lu Its con
struction. Further intelligence In regard
to the burning is awaited with Interest.
Congress authorized an expenditure of
$45,000 to be used for saving tho vessel, If
possible. The towboat company will
secure some remuneration for the expense
entailed, but the limit wns fixed by con
gress within tlO.000.
