Washington March 22.-The exami-
nation of Miss l'ollard was finished
yesterday afletansweringa few uiiiin-
port ant questions and she immediate-
ly left the courtroom
The Breckinridge fotccs were in
retirement twenty minutes. Then
John T. Shelby the Lexington Ky .
law partner of Colonel llrcekinridge
u short pale man with light mustache
partly bald head and spectacles faced
the jury to outline the defense. While
the case was technically one for breach
of promise he said 'it included a
wider scope. "I am authorized by the
defendant to say" he said "and it
will be corroborated by Ins solemn
oath that he ilid not seduce her; that
it never was made known lo him that
she ever had any children by him
until the filing of this suit last August
nor did he ever under any circum-
stances make any piomise of marriage
to her."
The defense did not intend to con-
done whatever was wrong In the rela-
tions of the two and it was only by
the truth the defendant wanted to bs
judged. Outlining what would be the
defense Mr. Shelby stateil that Miss
l'ollard had accosted Colonel ltrockiu-
ridge on the train before winch time
ho had never seen her. He had sup-
posed he ought to know her (having
readied that time of life when he was
forgetful of faces). She Introduced
herself said her father was a great
admirer of Colonel llrcekinridge and
had named her ufter him. Several
weeks afterward the letter asking ad-
vice as to her relations witii lthodcs
had been received and he had an-
swered it by telling her the legal
aspects of the contract lo which he
had replied fully. After that he re-
ceived the letter the authenticity
of which Miss Pollard had
denied but which would be
i fully proved asking him to
come to the seminary lie had writ-
ten that he could not come She had
written another letter urging him to
come to the Wesley nn oollcgo wlituli
he had declined to do August 1 1881
Friday lie had been in Cincinnati on
business and it occurred to him that
he had received the recju st to go to
the Wesleyan college. Having noth-
ing else to do he went to the
college that day and saw
her; saw not an ignorant
girl unacrnia'.nled with the ways of
the world for If there was one fact
that would be established it was that
the plaintiff was at least 20 or 21
years of age and it would be shown
by the doctor who outdated at the
birth of her ue.xt youngest sister in
1603 when the plaintiff was then a
little girl of 2 or 3 years of age lim-
iting about the house.
MISS roi.l.AIUl'S INNOCT.NCK 1IKNIKP.
"When the colonel arrived at the in
stitutiou" continued the attorney
"she came into the parlor and
kaw him explained the contract
with Mr. lthodcs which was that
in consideration of his paying
for her schooling she was to
marry him. She asked if he could
compel her to marry him a strange
question for an 'innocent school girl'
and also confessed that she had been
too friendly to Rhodes. He told her
that she was not obliged to carry out
the contract. Then she asked him to
take her to an entertainment on Vine
street and he consented.''
That Colonel llrecklnridge had
called a closed carriage that night
was denied. It was declared that Miss
Pollard had made the proposition that
they ride instead of going to the con-
cert and in the course of the ride that
night anil without the use of seductive
means but in that way which occurs
when a woman is not averse to such
things an illicit relation was estab-
lished on the first night he had been
with her. He did not take her to any
assignation house in Cincinnati the
next day.
It was denied that Colonel llrcek-
inridge had sent a telegram to Miss
Pollard in the name of her mothor
to go to Lexington but when he
boarded the train that Friday he
found her on it. Without any ar
tifices being exercised on Ills pa-t. a
meeting had been arranged and she
herself had proposed that they should
go to thi house of Sarah (Joss she ex-
plaining that she knew thai house.
It was a matter of mutual agreement
but instead of going there Friday
night Colonel llrcekinridge had been
in Cincinnati Friday and had not met
her there until Saturday night.

Mr. Shelby said that llVockinridgo
hail been compelled under fear and
threats of exposure to give Miss
Pollard more money than he
could spate from his means

sh. would go away from the city and
'i herself for work. Denial was

According to his best recollection
the interview between himself

curred the 3d or Uli of April. She had nDnniirm nnuiwnm ......

the happiness of his family. In a mo- .
tnentof weakness in onier to give
this woman a chance to begin life for
herself he permitted her to assume a
relation which never did exist and
could not havo been tolerated by him.
To further force hiin she had" given
an announcement of tho alleged en-
gagement to the papers; had written
him that he must renew his promise.
in a letter to winch he hail of course
palu no attention and then followed
his public marriage
to Mrs. Wing in
Inly.
In such a case the character of
the plaintiff was necessarily an Issue
particularly where she claimed that
the defeudaut had seduced her. No
man was liable morally or legally
for not doing n thing which was
morally impossible. When Miss Pol-
laid met Colonel llrcekinridge she
was a matured woman at least 21
years of age
Mic had denied the fact of a mock
marriage with Alec .lulian had ex-
plained the nature of her relations

Hrock in ridge she had been seen at an
assignation house. Tho "Wessie"
ltrown letter showed that she had
been in some sort of relations with
Kosell and others.
Colonel Shelby said tho motive of
the plaintiff in bringing tin; suit must
lie considered; that as stated by the
plaiiitilT it had not been for money
nor to vindicate her own character
which was necessarily destroyed by
the suit but for revenge and' to de-
stiny the power of the defendant.
Mere form did not constitute a eon-
tract. Mr. Shelby continued when

Henate Committee on Foreign notations
Is Now Considering One.
Washi.noton March 22. Tho senate
committee on foreign relations has
been considering an important
Chinese treaty negotiated by
the new Chinese minister and
Secretary Grcsham. The treaty
was sent to the senate some time ago
and referred to the foreign relations
committee where it has been very
fully considered and they discussed
it in all its details. It is said it
does not meet the approval of some of
the senators who ore members of tho
committee. It is understood this op-
position while considerable has not
been sufllclent to prevent its being re-
ported favorably though possibly
with some amendments.
As negotiated tho treaty practical-
ly setsuside and supersedes tho Scott
exclusion act and the recently ex-
acted (Jenry law. It is an immigra-
tion treaty and provides for tho ad-
mittance of Chinese immigrants un-
der restrictions. It also has for its
object the protection of Chinese
already in tins country. While it does
not repeal the Geary law it is said to
render it nugatory in many particu-
lars. KST1MATINO KF.VKM1KS.

Washinoto.v March 22. Tho esti
mates of the amount of revenue which
the tariff bill reported to the senate
will probably yield show that the
total amount will be about 3381000-
000. This is a reduction ot between
813000000 and 814000000 from the
estimates in tho first bill reported
to the committee 'the principal re
ductlon is made In tho internal reve
nue part of the bill through tho
restoration of the present tax rates on
domestic cigars and cigarettes which
amounts to a loss of 810000000.
There will also be an appreciable fall-
ing off in the duty on tin plate caused
by changing the duty on that Impor-
tation from 1 1-5 cents to 1 cent per

list will make up the other iii-incip.il
items of loss llanuuns arc imported
in large quantit cs. and the imposition
of a duty of two cents per pound first
imposed by the committee would havo
produced a revenue of SI 07253(5. The
committee found upon investigation
however that the bill would produce
more revenue thnn would be needed
and as bananas are not produced in
this country outside of a small section
on the Gulf of Mexico it was decided
to restore them to the free Hut.
As the bill stands if the estimate Is
correct it will produce at least S30-
000000 more of revenue than will bo
needed. The change made in tho
sugar schedule will not cnuse a show-
ing in the estimates different from
tho sub-committee bill as the
llrst estimate wns made upon
sugar testing niuety degrees fine.
The estimates for the present bill
will probably be upon the same grado
of sugar. There would however be
a slight dllTorcnco in the nctual re-
turns as the maximum duty rate un-
der the present bill is l.as1 "pi'r Iotttl
as against 1.40 on the sub-committee
bill. The difference on this score
would be controlled entirely by the
quantity of the high grade sugar im-
ported. MANY CHANGES MADE.

BANKER LITTLE TESTIFIES.
rhe Slnyer of Itiryor Johnston "Tells
of
tho Kllllnc of Ills Ki-l'iirtni-r.
Oi.atiik Kan. March 22. Tho
Banker Little murder trial is still on.
Yesterday afternoon the defendant
took tho stand in his own behalf. He
occupied the entlro afternoon in mak-
ing a statement of his business and
social relations with Johnston and
what transpired between them from
the time the trouble existed up to
the time ot the killing.
In Little's explanation for carrying
a revolver at the time of the shooting
he claims that on that day he re-
ceived a telegram from the First Na-
tional bank of Guthrie Ok. of which
he was president to draw on the First
National bank of Kansas City Mo.
for the sum of 820000 to be brought
to (iuthrle by him the next day.
Cpon leaving his home that evening
lie placed a revolver in his hip pocket
and proceeded to tho residence of the
cashier of the Kansas City bank
where tho amount was to be in readi-
ness for him when he called for it.
Shortly after leaving home Little met
Johnston on Minnesota avenue and
saluted him in the usual manner. In
reply Johnston called him a foul
namo in the presence of witnesses.
They passed and met again shortly
afterward this time Johnston in com-
pany with some of his friends was in
front of a drug store. As Little ap-
proached he drew his revolver and
shouting "You havo been hounding
me all day I'll not stand it any
longer" he pointed tho revolver at
Johnston and fired. The latter reeled
into thoiguttcr and died in a few min-
utes. Little will be severely cross exam-
ined to-day after which tho state's
rebuttal testimony will be ready.

ahnir reached this city yjsterday from

Mrs Mary Fletcher of that city died

be in nn alley and the son Mr. Flem-
ing who is a business man of that city
purchased a lot on whLh to remove
tjio remains. Yesterday the grave was
opened but to the horror of nil en-
gaged the remains were gone: not a
vestige of collin corpse or enclosing
box could be found.
Last May during Decoration day the
grave which had sottled fomcwhnt
was roll! I I'd and llowers and shells
Stretn over It. As these were undis-
turbed the presumption is the body
must have been removed prior to that
time.
Mr. Fleming sei'ins to think Ibis the
work of some physician and he has
well grounded suspicions as to the
guilty party.
