Chief of Police Moore Contradicts the Plain tifTs Testimony in Unimpor tant Particulars Expert Testi mony as to Genuineness of a Letter Which Miss Pollard Pronounces a Forgery. ITT . -w . At-mauTos, jaiarcn Z7. Haidly fifty peopie were present in the court room this morning when the case was called and the big bare courtroom looked cheerless in com parison with its aspect on former days in Mr. Shelby conducted the examination nf Ma. Moore, who had already testified in Denaif or Miss Pollard. In answer to questions from Mr. flholhv JlaJ- Joore aenied statements made by Miss Pollard on the stand with reference to what had been said at interviews had be tween Col. Breckinridge and Miss Pollard and the witness. He denied that Col. Breck inridge had said, as testified by Miss Pol lard, "This is one of life's tragedies," addine that this young woman had borne him two children, and that there was a third in pro&pect, to wlrV according to Miss Pol lard's testimony, one replied: "Yes, Mai Moore, I gave myself to him." Some other minor things testified to by Miss Pollard in reference to the conversa tions inJVlaj, Moore's ofHcejvere also denied by Maj. Moore- This concluded his direct examination, and he was turned over for cross examination to Judge Wilson. Maj. Moore said in answer to Judge W'ii son that his recollection of the conversations in his office between the plaintiff, the de fendant and himself, on May 13th, and on May 17th, was based almost entirely on short hand notes which he had made im mediately after the interviews. He would hardly have remembered much alo-t the two interviews if it were not for the b "rt hand notes. Judge Wilson wanted partic ularly to know whether there was anything said by Miss Pollard in the direction of or suggesting that this was a sham and a decep tion that was being practiced on Maj. Moore. Maj. Moore answered: "There was not." He said he made the notes almost immedi ately after the interviews ended and his memory was largely dependent on them. He also admitted that many things said at the interview might have passed entirely out of his mind. "What was his (Col. Breckinridge's) man ner when he made those declarations to you about marrying Miss Pollard?" was Judge Wilson's next question. "Quiet," said Maj. Moore, after an objec tion to the question had been overruled. "I want to know whether on that occasion i her manner did not indicate satisfaction and gratification over the promise of marriage-1 "Oh, we object to that too," said Col. Pnil inompson, out tne question -was allowed, and Maj. Moore said: "Her manner indi cated satisfaction and gratification." Dr. . B. Shaeffer, deputy coroner of the District of Columbia, was put on the stand as an expert in handwriting to examine the letter which Col. Breckinridge says he re ceived from Miss Pollard in 181, and which caused him to call on her at the Wesleyan college in Cincinnati the week their intimate relations began. ( Miss Pollard read this letter on the stand and pronounced it a forgery, "and no one knows better than that man there," she said, indicating Col. Breckinridge, "that it was not written by me."j This letter has never been made public ' j Dr. Shaeffer was asked many questions as to his practice in detecting forgeries and in running down anonymous letter writers. He had been called as an expert in hand writing, he said, in several trials and de voted from two to six hours a day to thje study. Alter examining Dr: Shaeffer jfor nearly an hour as to his knowledge of handwriting, Judge Wilson said he was satisfied that Dr. Shaeffer did not have the necessary qualifi cations of an expert, but Judge Bradley thought otherwise, and allowed the witness to remain on the stand. Maj Butterworth handed Dr. Shaeffer the letter purporting to be to Col. Breckinridge from Miss Pollard which she claims is a forgery- another letter signed "W. C. P. B." and a bundle of Miss Pollard's letters to old man Rodes. Dr. Shaeffer said he had examined all of these yesterday. t "Now, Doctorsaid Maj. Butterworth, "havipg compardthese carefully, as you state, can you say whether this letter (one of Miss Pollard s acknowledged epistles) was written by the same person as this (the let ter claimed to be forged)?" "Yes, sir, they were written in the same hanawriting." "Now. Doctor, I hand you a Christmas card which was taken from a wprk of Wash ington Irving. Can yor state "whether the writing on it, 'Compliments of W. S. D.', has been written more than five years?" This is the e&rd which the defence claims Miss Pollard slipped into a volume of Irving at tit. Joseph's foundling asylum while she was there getting up evidence last December to prove her claim that she was at the asy lum in 1885, and gave birth to a baby there Judge Wilson objected to Maj. Butter worth's question, and itlwas modified. i)r. Shaeffer being asked how long ago the wiitjng had been, done, he answered that it lookea to have been written not more than three or four fears ago. j Tnat was the ut mos.t limit, and it wight have been written within three or four month. He entered into a technical explanation as to haw ink is affected by exposure to the air to prov his assertions, and he was then turned over for cross-examination to; Judge Wilson. "What are your charges per day in giving testimony as an expcfl was Judge Wil son' first question. ! . Dr. Shaeffer was wary and answerea the question by asking another as to whether i udge Wilson wanted to ; know how much he was to get in, this ease. Judge Wilson nstp,i many more questions to gscertain what vas the regular charge of the witness for expert,' testimony and it was clear that he waitrying to show what weight ft big fee would have on the witness. Col. Phil Thompson I objected to these questions, but Judge Bradley said they were all right as tending to shew the weight of the witness' testimony. After a great many qnestion, nr. aaatsuaf, vch.e bes-itation to' answer was banished by "u i t T,l P-orllotr anirt he had no fixed schedule for law cases, but had ShiSS from 5npto 75 for hi services as an exrt.

Judge Wilson's next question whicn was half-assertion., ; ; I - "Yes sir. mat is to say, nw oirauiu.j. but absolutely within the circumstances i b a ve indicated.'' . i . : Dr Shaeffer also saia ne couiu gew uou,, mathematical exactness: m determining handwriting. . Then he ..TO-g another question by Judge Wilson. I feel much more certain that Madeline PoUard wrote that letter (the alleged iorgery; w I do as to the date of the handwriting as stated by me." . i -Judge Wilson put the! doctor throuen a very rigid cross examination, making nun compare nearly all the letters in ine aipnauet taken from the genuine and alleged forged letters, and then taking words. What Judge Wilson -was aiming at was not obvious at this time, but subsequent questions showed he wanted to prove that a foreer might imitate1 another person's handwriting yery well, but his own charac teristics were bound to crop out. i Mr. E. B. Hay, a member of the Wash incrtnn bar. was sworn as an expert in hand writing. He had seen many thousands of i nKnTa and conio&red them, he said He had made their comparison his special study. "If TOU please, Major"-began Maj. n' LmAti, and there was a laugh as Mr. EfiiY" - intimated that he felt SlVfionorea by the title, but preferred to be palled plain "mister. pardon," said Maj.

He believed it was impossible for a person to imitate the hand writing of another person is a letter as long as-this without showing nervousness. "In your opinion," suggested Judge Wil son. "In my opinion," acquiesced Mr. Hay. At this point the court adiourned until tor morrow. The Pollard Letter Now in rinnt Washington, March 27. The following is the letter which Miss Pollard asserts is a forgery and which the defence will fight to get before the jury : - ; "Weslyan College, July 20, 1884. Deae Col. Bheckiskidge: Your letter came to me Saturdav I am flH vnn tin me it would be here to the college, for if you had gone to even such little troub.e to listen to what some umes overburdens a school girl's mind, ou might be inclined to be provoked with yourself. A preacher's opinion of the little affair of mine would cause premature gray hairs, where your opinion might clear away all doubts and fears and let me be quite free hearted again. I think I have prepared you for a divorce case. But listen; It is worse than that. If a certain person should advance funds for my tuition here at sehool for three years under the promise that I marry him at the expiration of that time, could he do anything if would not marry him. but teach and refund all he ad vanced? I know you think, whv the decep tion? But on no other terms will he agree. When a girl wants nothing but a good edu cation, and means to obtain such are denied her, what is she to do but take the only chance she is ever likely to haye? I liked your face and I am sure I would like you and if at any future time you are in the city and would care to come around, remember that home faces are always welcome. I am very respectfully yours, ' Madeline B. Pollard." To-morrow bids fair to be the great day of the trial, for, unless the cross-examination of two intervening witnesses is too long drawn out, the silver tongued defendant himself will mount a rostrum of a kind in which he has not figured before and will be gin his version of the long intrigne. Frauds in-New KouiiUland Elections. St. Johns, X. F., March 27. Henry Woods, Surveyor General, and his col league, George Moore, ;who represent the district of Bay de Verds in the New Found land Legislature, were unseated to-day for corrupt practices during the late election. They were also disqualified from sitting in the Assembly fqr four years. This decision renders the dissolution of Parliament inevi table, as the above case is but one of a series on trial involving nearly the whole White way Government. The latter won the elec tion in November last by electing twenty four of its candidates. Twelve members of the opposition lodged petitions against the returnof seventeen of the twenty-four members, alleging that their election was due to bribery and illegal practice. ' According to the English law, the cases were tried before a justice of the Supreme court. The decision in the Woods-Moore case was handed down this morning by Jus tice Winter, who found both the accused guilty of corrupt practices by themselves and agents, and declared their election void. The court awarded the costs of the case to the petitioners. The grounds on which the conviction was secured against Woods and Mooe was the expenditure of 8,000 in the Bay de Verd districts shortly before the election. ' The disqualification of the remaining fif teen members petitioned against is a fore gone conclusion. They, include every mem ber of the Executive Council and the Gov ernment eaders of all the districts. It is expected the Government will dissolve im mediately, as', if they wait for the conclusion of the other cases" before doing" so, their wholesome election is looked upon as a cer tainty. If the Government allows dissolu tion tfcja Legislature may secure a new lease of power;' I : hi u JBB To Mariner Washington, March 27.

Spot cotton here was dull and unchanged. bales were l2 bales tor spinning; deliveries on contracts 100. It was a small board room market, a narrow professional mar-, ket, devoid of striking features.,The receipts at the ports were comparatively small and some local shorts covered. Prices, there fore, advanced slightly. Some are looking for a higher Liverpool market to-morrow, owing t3 the diminished receipts and the small estimates for the' interior towns this week. Memphis in two days has received only 601 bales and has shipped 8,436 bales. The port receipts to-day were 9,680 bales and the port exports 20,689. It is predicted that the interior stocks this week will de crease materially. Some think Liverpool to-morrow will be easier on selling against export buying in 'this country.

Camp Peffer, at Louisville, Ohio, was deserted at 9 o'clock by the army of peace. With three cheers for the town mayor, the column swung off on its first long tramp. Curious people goppcu ai tuts ireajsy procession as it passed mrougn the country. At Maximo a short iop was maae, and one mile further on the column halted for lunch. When the college settlement at Mount Union, on the outskirts of Alliance was reached, the gaping crowds began to thicken. From that point to the iucuuou or camp JunkerliU,at the Alliance fair grounds, people flocked out to see the odd cavalcade pass by. Tents were raised and the shivering, thinly-clad citizens of the commune gathered wood for fires. By the time supper rations were distributed things were comfortable. " Alliance is the most enthusiastic town yet reached. Many symphathizers with the movement nve here. Supplies to the amount uaii a car ioaa came in. A load of hay for the stock was included. The street rail ways ran excursion cars to the scene every fifteen minutes. As evening came on, recruits began to come in and Adjutant Smith had seventy- hvenewmen on the rolls to-night. This makes the column 184 strong. The new men are some what better appearing than their predecessora. At 4 o'clock a public meeting was held in the opera house of the town. Commander Coxey spoke to an immense house and was followed by Chief Marshal Carl Browne. Another meeting was held later in the even ing. The Independent Church, a body of free thinkers, offered their building for sleeping quarters but it was declined by Marshal Browne. A very hostile disposition was noticeable to-day in the camp. It was aimed at the correspondents accompanying the expedi tion. The men claim that they haye been mercilessly abused and want revenge. Mayor Excel has appointed twelve special police officers for to-night, but anticipates no trouble. It was, however, learned from a prominent State militiaman to-riight, that leeimg at me capnai pas entirely changed and some insecurity felt. The fear of the State officials is that the army may De Bet upon Dy aisoraeny elements in some of the towns to be passed through. For that reason a letter has been written the captains of ail'militii companies along the route. No order to keep underarms is given, but the letter advises the officers to have the men ready for muster. At 5 o'clock Commander Coxey left for Massillon, hishooue, thence to go by a later train to unicago to attend a stook sale at the Lnion stock yards. He denies that the trip has anything to do with his financial difncultiea. Mr. "Coxey says he wiii rejoin Populists in Convention, Kansas City, March 27.
