We have nothing to say why the Atlas
should not render up JUDGMENT against some
body Tor the non-appearance of Pollock but
yet we do not exactly see how man could
properly be held when there was no evidence
against him. Ii must be remembered that the
CINCINNATI Marshal gave neither name or de-
scription OF person. Pollock claimed the
trunks ON the boat, but from the first denied
owning the carpet bag, and in the carpet bag
mas found the money. 1t is true he had key
that opened the bag; but those locks are all
alike. That, therefore, was really no evidence
To show that our police were not deficient in
action we have but to name that one of them
went to Cincinnati especially ON that business,
and came home before Pollock was released.
We think that the blame of this matter may
rest somewhere besides in Wheeling.
