MORE DEPOSITIONS FOR THE
DEFENDANT READ.
Decision of the Judge on the Deposi
tions Objected to Evidence of an
Alibi as to the Meeting at Sarah
Gess' House Another Love
Affair of the Plaintiff's"
Brought to .Light in
the Eyidenee.
Washington, March 26. The trial of (he
Pollard-Breckinridge case dragged wearily
to-day. It was a day of depositions, mostly
intended to establish an alibi on behalf of
the defendant as to certain dates testified
to by the plaintiff.
Interest in the morning centered in the
decision of Judge Bradley with reference to
the admission of the Ohio and Kentucky
depositions in behalf of Col. Breckinridge.
The decision was rendered promptly after
the court was called to order. He cited
statutes to show that Circuit and District
courts of the United States had the power to
authorize depositions to be taken de bene esse,
and it could not be successfully disputed, he
said, that this was a court of the United
States. The right of an individual to take
depositions was a right which he might ex
ercise or not at 1 L . I' and with which the
court had nothing to do, but when deposi
tions were presented to the court, it became
the duty of the court to determine whether
it was right to permit them to be read.
This was a slight victory for Miss Pollard's
attorneys who contended that the deposi
tions had been taken "'tie bene esse or subject
to consideration by the court as to their ad
missibility. Judge Bradley then took up the specific
objections : made to parts of testimony
contained in the depositions. The first of
these objectionable depositions was that of
a man named Brand, who refused to answer
whether he and Miss Poilard had main
tained improper relations, a very odd j fu
sal, so Judge .Bradley Said, in view of
fact that j he had admitted that though a
married man. he frequented houses of pros
titution. What objection the deponent
could have to answering the question the
Judge could not see.
A deposition of one Kaufman was admit
ted, but Judge Bradley said if he could have
suppressed the deposition of Brand, Coffin
and one Hawking, on the ground that they
were too filthy to be read, he would have
done so, but unfortunately he could not
overlook their legal rights.-'
The deposition of John O'Toole was over
ruled because it was based on hearsay, and
so also were ;those of Dr. Green and Dr.
Lewis. The deposition of Mrs. Miller and
W. W. Roseli were not overruled, but were
admitted subject to objections to specified
questions when they were read.
The first deposition read was that of
Joseph C. Bailey, of Versailles, Ky., who is
clerk of the Woodford -county court, who
produced his records to suow that W. C. P.
Breckinridge had been an attorney for R. B.
and O. D. Brown in their trial for murder
in 1884. The record showed that the Brown
case was up in court cn August 5, 1884, at
the time Miss Pollard testifted that Col.
Breckinridge had met her at the house of
Sarah Gessln Lexington, a few days after
the alleged betrayal. The deponent said the
case had gone along until August 10th, when
D. D. Brown bad been admitted to bail.
Col. Breckinridge was in court every day.
Mr. Bailey's cross-examjnaiion was directed
to showing that Col- Breckinridge might
have attended court in Versailles each day
and driven over to Lexington at night.
Mr .Bailey, however,knew that Col.BreckiU'
ridge alwaysBtayed in Versailles until late
at night.
Other depositions were read from lawyers
and court officers showing .that Col. Breckin
ridge was elsewhere at times' when Mi3 Pol
lard says he was with her.
The deposition of Wm. G. Wood, a carpen
ter of Lexington, was read next. This was
one of the depositions admitted this morn
ing to evidence, subject to specific objection.
He had met Madeline Pollard., he said, at
the house of Mrs. Kean at Snickawar, near
Lexington about May 1832, and at Miss bol
lard's invitation palld aain and again, and
within a couple ot months he and Miss Pol
lard became engaged to be married. "I
said when we were married I would take
her to Europe. When it came near to the
date for setting the time, I told her I could
not take her to Europe it was too far and I
was broke. She few into a passion and
took off the ring I gave her and threw it at
me. I picked the ring up. It was a gold
ring aad cost 20."
"What'did che say at this time."
'7 hink she "said J was rich and could
afford to t2e her to Eur6l6 "
liDid this engagement continue long efter
that?"
"That ended it."
The deponent said he was 42 years old at
the time and Miss Pollard was a young
womsn. Cross examined, Mr. Wood said
in ans to a question, that his brothers
and the "old iian," kicked about the en
gagement and said if he broke the engage

Judge Bradley allowed it to stand. j
He bad gone to Lexington, the deponent
said, in 1883, with Mr. Roach and had been
invited by Miss Pollard, in a note "sent him,
to call on her at the house of her aunt, Mrs.
Kean, but he had not done so. ' .Miss -oi-lard
had written him a note just after this.
Mr. Julian was asked what its contents
were, but Mr. Carlisle objected to me answer

Miss Pollard was "as nice acirl as ever was

or heard of her doing anything that was not
the mock marriage and that the incident
that followed was a result of her intoxica

was on a bridge and the deponent said he did

fceror not. "I iust kissed her," he said,
"and I kissed her right" Laughter. This

SENATOR COLQUITT
Passes Quietly From Life to Eternal
Rest Preparations For the Pn
neral A Sketch of His Life.
Washington, March 26. Senator Colquitt
died at his residence, No. 220 A street, S. E-,
this city, at 7:10 o'clock this morning. The
end was quiet and peaceful and death came
as if the Senator were dropping into sleep.
He had been sinking gradually all night.
At 3 o'clock this morning the entire right
side became totally paralyzed, and after
that it was evident to all that death was at
best a question of homs only. The entire
family, except a daughter, Mrs. Newell, of
Milledgeville, Ga., were present, as were
also the family of his colleague Senator
Gordon, who were summoned when the
attack occurred at 3 o'clock. d
Tire funeral will take place in the Senate
Chamber to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock
and will probably be conducted by Rev. V.
H. Milburn, chaplain of the Senate. He is
at present absent from the citv, but has
been telegraphed for and will probably ar
rive in time to officiate. The remains, will
be taken to Macon, Ga., for interment. The
cortege will proceed from the Capitol to the
depot. After the funeral services in the
Senate Chamber that body will probably
take a recess until 12 o'clock when the Sen
ate will resume its legislative business. '
A meeting of the Georgia delegation in the
House was held in Speaker Crisp's room
today to take action respecting the death of
Senator Colquitt. Representative Turner was
authorized to make formal reference, to the
loss sustained by Georgia in the death of the
Senator when the announcement of his
death was received from the Senate.
The Senate and House committees, and
family, accompanying the remains will
leave Washington on ' the Richmond and
Danyille fast mail train at 11 o'clock a. m.
to-morrow, arriving in Macon, Ga., at 11
o'clock a. m. the next day. The funeral
party will be in charge of Mr. B. W. Lay
ton, first assistant sergant-at-arms ot the
Senate and a representative of the Rich
mond and Danville railroad.
Alfred Holt Colquitt was born in Walton
county, Ga., April 20th 1824, and was conse
quently in his 70th year. He was graduated
at Princeton in 1841, studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1845. He served
during the Mexican war as a staff officer
with the rank of major. In 1852 he was
elected to Congress as a Democrat, serving
one term. He was a member of the Legisla
ture in 1859 and a Presidential elector in
1860 on the Breckinridge ticket. He was a
member of the secession convention of Geor
gia and entered the Confederate army
as captain. Later, he was chosen colonel
of the Sixth Georgia infantry, promoted a
brigadier general and after serving some
time in that grade, was commissioned a ma
jor general. In 1876 he was elected Gover
nor of Georgia for four years, at the expi
ration of which term he was re-elected for
two years under the new constitution. He
was then elected to the United States Sen
ale and re-elected in 1888.
Senator Colquitt was a distinguished son
of a distinguished father, the later being a
lawyer of eminence, a soldier, and a
member of both branches of the National
Legislature from Georgia. '
The Sun's Cotton lieview.
New York, March 26. The Sun's cotton
report says: Cotton declined 1 point, re
covered this and advanced 4 points, lost this
and then rallied and closed quiet at a net
advance for the day of 2 to 3 points. Sales
were 75,000 bales. There was holiday in
Liverpool and Manchester.' New Orleans
declined 1 point, recovered this and ad
vanced 3 points and, later on, stood 1 point
higher than on Thursday night. Port re
ceipts on Saturday were 6,833 bales against
6.7J.7 on the previous Saturday, and 7,962
last year. ' To-day they were 6.430 bales,
against 10,799 this day Jast week, f nd 9,247
last year; thus far this week., 13.203 bales.
ag8insc 17,516 thus far last week. Spot cotton
here was dull and unchanged. Sales were 623
bales for spinning. Southern markets were
in most cases slow and ul altered. Without
Liverpool advices, the cotton market was a
little like the play of "Hamlet" with Ham
let left out. And yet, it was not much
quieter than it had been for some little
time. The undertone was stronger, but
there was no decided advance. The receipts
at the ports do not look quite so formidable
as formerly, the comparisons being with
big"figur a year ago and will be all this
week. The news from New England mills
was more cheerful. A better
demand froni American spinners
was reported at some points at the South,
notably at Norfolk, Memphis and some of
the interior Texas towns. The price of cot
ton it lo w. The" bears are not much inclined
to take the nggresoifB at the moment. The
weather in some parts of the South wa3 un
favorable for field work, but this is merely
a temporary matter. There is a growing
hone that the President will veto
Seigniorage bill, but this was certemly
a prominent factor in tue fpeculation

Denver, March 26. The rebuke of Gov

Saturday wfes equaled in severity by the de
cisiorr Of Judge Glynn in the District court
this morning upon the proceedings tor con
tempt against Mayor Van Horn and the
new members, Mullens and Barns. By this
decision the injunction suit is dissolved on
the ground that it was illegally based and
the contempt suit was dismissed. The court
censured Martin and Orr for arming men
and placing dynamite in the city hall to de

after thev had applied to the courts for an
adjudication of their claim. Judge Glynn

TRIBUTES OF RESPECT
TO THE MEMORY OF THE IATE
SENATOR COLQUITT.
Both Houses Adopt Resolutions and
' Adjourn senator Gordon's An
nouncement of the Death of :
His Colleague Secretary
Herbert's Report as to
tbe Fine Imposed on
the Carnegie Com- v
pany. -
v SENATE.
- Washington, March 26. There were more
Senators than usual present this morning
when the opening prayer was delivered.
The desfc and chair of the dead Senator,
(Colquitt, of Georgia) in the first row of
seats on the Democratic side of the Chamber,
were draped in black cloth. In the absence
of Chaplain Milburn, the prayer was made
by Rev. Isaac M. Canter, pastor of the Ver
non Place M. E. church, South. His refer
ence to the death of Mr. Colquitt was" in
tlwse words: .. ... t
Bless, especially, the family of Thy
servant who was so recently a member of
this Chamber and who now lies in the cold
embrace of death. We thank Thee for all
that he was to his State and to his country,
and to this Senate. Grant that Thee lesson
which Thy Providence teaches us by this
death may not be lost and that we may
learn that death comes to all, in high places
as well as in low."
As soon as the journal of Thursday was
read. Senator Harris rose and moved that
when the Senate adjourn it be to meet at 9
o'clock a. m. to-morrow. The reason he
said would be explained later. The motion
was agreed to.
Senator Gordon, the colleague of the dead
Senator, then rose and said:
"Mr. President, it falls lo my lot this
morning to make the inexpressibly sad an
nouncement of the death of my colleague,
a long loved and cherished friend, Alfred
H. Colquitt, late Senator from Georgia.
Even if the circumstances around us per
mitted I could not, this morning, I have
not the heart speak of his long and. illus
trious services to his State and the country.
In the presence of the poignant grief to me,
my memory turns to him as a long loved
friend rather than as the brave soldier ex
hibiting a high order of courage and of pa
triotism in two wars, or as the civilian hold
ing for a long series of years, high political
statious, every one ot which he honored and
adorned. '
"It may not be amiss, however, to say of
him now that I have known him from my
boyhood. We were companions in arms;
we were neighbors and friends, we were
political allies. In all these relations, for
more than a third of a century, there has
never been one word of discord between us,
neyer a veil that separated us, never a
thought of distrust, nothing save the most
trusted loyalty, a deep, devoted and
brotherly attachment. It may not be un
duly to say further of him now,' that in
every relation of life, whether as husband,
father, son, friend, soldier or citizen, he has
been earnest and faithful and true. The
three dreaded monsyllables, "He is dead"
will soon be spoken of others of this Cham
ber, and many of us before long years shall
pass. If it shall be added of each of us, as

ltrjitarts From Canton. Ohio, Seventy
- btrong Whiskey to Complete the
Disintegration Begun by Cold
Weather.
Canton, O, March 26. When the sun rose
on camp Lexington this morning not a sol
dier ofithe Commonweal army was visi
bly. The cold weather had driven them all
out of their big tent during the night
Fifty-eight of them had gone to the police
station, where they were given lodgings on
the cold stone floor. Others had scattered
in' different directions, many of Lthem
to return no more. Those who assem
bled this morning at camp were given
breakfast. Coxey claims that recruits are
now coming in so fast that it is impossible
to keep count, but if this statement is true
the new arrivals are successfully keeping
out Of sight. Three women in male attire
are with the army.
Nearly an inch of snow; covered the
ground this morning with a temperature
pretty well down toward zero. Coxey,
Browne and other leaders slept comfortably
at the hotel. J
Examination of court records this morn
ing showed mortgages against Coxey's prop
erty to the extent of $48,000, and the claim
that he would not be able to pay 10 cents on
the dollar, if pressed, seems pretty well
founded. He leaves the army at Alliance
to go to Chicago, but claims he will he ah.
sent only Jone night.
.isrowne said this morning: "All hell
cannot stoR this movement now. I have
foreseen from the start just how it would
be. I knew exactly how many men wonld
start with us. what the weather would be,
and all that. You can make up your 'mind
that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

and the newspapers will he nnsni'oeHHfnl in.
defeating his project. God is with him, he
says, and his army will number 1,000 men
inside of forty-eight hoars. The Common-!
weai soicuers Deing tinnly clad, suffered
from the cold and there were many loud
complaints and threats of desertion unless I
better weather favored the movement. j
.Camp Lexineton was broken at. n nVWV
and the start for Louisville was made. Less
than seventy-five men were in line,- but
Coxey and his lieutenants claimed every
thing was working according to the celestial
schedule with which they have been fur
nished. They declare that provisions have I
been donated in such Quantities that thev
cannot handle them all. Canton people
seemed this morning to have lost interest
in the army and the soldiers were left this
morning to fold their tents like Arabs and
quietly steal away.
A scheme to furnish the Commonweal
army with fifteen or twenty gallons of bad
whiskey has been set on foot, in hopes that
the soldiers may get drunk and break up
the expedition before it gets beyond Al
liance. Whether this scheme is carried
out or not, there is good prospect that
trouble will be had within the next day or
two. Many of the commonweal soldiers
are murmuring and threatenine ae-ainst
Marshal Louis Smith, "the great un
known," who has shown an arrogant spirit
id governing them. The Commonweal
party pitched Camp Peffer at Louisville,
Ohio., this afternoon and at present all is
quiet at Buck Run.

the message, which is said to be ready for
