THAT MAN POLLARD AGAIN-The Baltimore CORE

lowing account Of another one of Pollafd's fights
The well known H. Rves Pollard, former editor
and proprietor Of the Richmond Examiner has recent
ly been in our city aud gotten himself into trouble
again by attempting to shoot with intent to KILL

tu friendship and intimacy for some weeks or mcnths
with a beautiful, accomplished well educated young
woman OF Virginia, named Hatty Alexander, daugh-
ter OF Dr. Alexander She came to Baltimore not
long ago, and soon afterwards Mr.. Pollard made his
appearance Their intimacy became matter of
toriety. In the meantime Miss Alexander, though
she is reputed have been formerly married to some
worthless fellow, became acquainted aud pleased With
Hipkins, in much that she was willing to desert
Pollard for him. At thig seeming ithlessness the ex
Richmond editor grew incensed, and few nights ago
at finding Hipkins calling in carriage to remove
Miss AleXander's trunk, bird cage, bonnet box etc.
from the FountaiG hotel to another place Pollard
stepped up claiming prior rights, and shot Hpkins
The bail entered his thigh broke the bone and caused
very dangerous if not fatal wound He still lies in
uncertainty as to his recovery. Hipkus is from Nor
folk, Virginia, young blood of excellent family and
high standing. He served four years with Mosby in
the Confederate service and proved one of his most
gallant aids. Pollard pretended to have been acting
IL philanthrOpic part towards the young woman and
her parents but this appeared only after she had de-
serted him. and lie could longer accomplish his
ends
The case has been investigated before justice Of
the peace prelminariy and Pollard held to bail in
the sum OF 5000, to await the action of the grand
jury. There is no doubt he viii be indicted for an
