Bh<> Ih'jruu Her Statement With a Bit
of Her Family Hintory—Her Father
Was a Prominent Secret Society Sian.
Then Followed the Story of Her !£«.-
luti-niH Willi Colonel Breckinridge.
Washington, March 16.—Madeline
Pollard, attired in the same neut fitting
blue gown and the little chip bonnet
which'she has worn every day at the
trial of her suit against Colonel Breck
inridge, was an early comer to the crim
inal courtroom. None of the attorneys
were present when Miss Pollard had
made her appearance. Miss Ellis, her
motherly looking companion from the
House of Mercy, was with her, as usual,
and arranged Miss Pollard’s chair for
her
When Judge Wilson, the principal at
torney for the plaintiff entered. Miss
Pollard gave him a sad little smile and
chon cast her eyes down, resuming her
habitual look of dejection. When Colo
nel Breckinridge entered Miss Pollard
looked up, but apparently did not see
him. There was a whispered con
sultation for a minute or two be
tween Lawyer Carlisle and his client,
and a rumor w. .. ..r <und the court
room that Miss Poll jr l woul'd be placed
on the stand as -thu; hrst witness. Then
Judge Wilson and Mr .'Carlisle held a
confidential talk, clrr-^-r which they ex
amined a number o j rs, and the ru
mor began to be stated as a fact. There
was a wait of 20 minutes and then Miss
Pollard, at the word from Judgu^Vil-
son rose from her seat and made her
Way to the witness stand.
“Silence,” said the criers as.a buzz of
excitement went up. Miss Ellis took
her seat next to Miss Pollard, who gave
her name in a firm manner, and an
swered Mr. Carlisle’s questions
steady voice .that sometimes became al
most'too loud. Mr. .Carlisle’s .prelimi
nary questions were about Miss Pollard’s
parentage.
Her father was a saddler. When he
died, in 1886, all the Odd Fellows and
Masonic lodges in Kentucky senf dele
gates to Frankfort to attend the funeral.
She told of spending some time with her
Pittsburg aunt after her father’s death.
Her use of the broad “a” was noticea
ble, so was her pronunciation of tfao
word “mama.” In answer to Mr. Car
lisle, Miss Pollard said:
“In the vary last days of August,-1892,
•Mr. Breckinridge met me qt the Baiti-
xnov? and Ohio railway station.”
“How did Ipt ggeetye*^”
“HedrW me to 1pm, btrnaod me, and
put me in a carriage, and - we were
driven into the country.”
“What did ho say in the carriage?’
“He told me that he had something
to toll me, awl, he said that he was vain
enough to think I would be glad to
'hear it. He said his children were all
grown up now, and that there was no
reason why he should not marry. He
asked me if I would marry him, and I
told him I would.”
Sue had stopped at 23 Lafayette
square for a few days during that visit;
had seen Breckinridge every day and
added he said that he had married Ris
second wife 14 months after the death
of bis first wife, and a year after the
death of his second wife would not be
too soon to marry me. r
I told him we ought not to marry for
two yeaas and’ proposed to go with Miss
Willard on a school trip for young la
dies in Europe.
He said I must not go and leave him
living in the rooms, a thing he bad' not
done for 30 years. He put it on the
ground that 1 would be selfish to go, and
I did not.”
A letter which was dated at
Gray Gables, Buzzard’s Bay, Mas
sachusetts, in October, 1892, from Miss
Catherine Willard, and which referred
to a; proposal that Miss Pollard join her
European party, was read to the jury.
Colonel Breckinridge had paid the ex
penses of Miss Poliard on her New York
visit in the fall of 1893.
When Colonel Breckinridge was in
Washington she sa\v him every few
days. ■ -
The question of marriage Was resnmed
at this time, and although no date was
fixed, the colonel always insisted that a
year after his wife’s death, which would
be in the spring of 1893, would be the
time most suitable for him.
Miss Pollard said that once on a leo-
turing trip to New England, she had
Accompanied Colonel Breckim^dge.
She had spoken of her engagement to
J’rs. Thomas, and she repeated the cir
cumstances related by the witness,
'Claude De La Roche Francis, pronounc
ing the name Frawncis, as did the young
tuan. The visit to Mrs. Blackburn’s
Kvas also rehearsed by Miss Pollard, wno
declared that Colonel Breckinridge had
Introduced her to Mrs. Blackburn with
these words:
“I want to place this young lady un
der your protection, for I intend to
?nake her my wife. She is a great deal
So me now and will be agreat deal more.”
t he repeated the circumstances of
.reckinridge’s visits to Mrs. Blackfanrn
When be had explained to her the en-
r igement and spoke also of an instance
when Colonel Breckinridge had placed
bis arm aroun'd her saying: „
“He was most affectionate and moot
bind.”
“I asked Mr. Breckinridge then, as he
Jy as talking of going to Chicago, to name
Hue day when he would many me. I
think I knelt down beside him and iput
£•’■• «rm over his shoulder, hut -its.
r-iackbnm objected.”
This was Sunday, May 14, 1882. Sat
urday. May 18. the day before, she had
visited the office of Dr. Lincoln with
.Colonel Breckinridge, and oulhe same
finy went to the office of Chiefof Police

r' Mias Pollard gave her testimony
without any noticeable marks of
(MiTODsnesa except in a rising tendency
Of her Toice at times and an lnalinafiaa
to talk too fast. Her story was told
With minute detail as if she had re
hearsed it time and again.
She looked Breckinridge Ajuarely in
the eyes without appearing to do so. In
answer to questions she testified that

offering up prayers for the convention,
and will continue to do so during this

hereafter every State convention be
opened by a prayer-meeting service:
His suggestions are good and will no
