THE CASE OF II. RIvEs POLLARD.-Mr.
ii. Rives Pollard, charged with threaten
ing the life of Thomas II. Wynne, Esq,
was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday
morning. Judge Ould appeared as his
counsel.
Mr.. Wynne testified that he got out the
warrant for the arrest upon the following
telegram, received on Saturday last:
GoRDoNsvILLE, April l3, 1867.
" To Thomas II. Wynne:
"You are damned thief and liar. Pay
dishonored drafts this day and arrearages
of your bond, and cease to retail your
cowardly lies and gossip about me, or
will cut your tongue out and grind you to
dust by exposing your thieving and vii
lainous transactions with Yankee compa-
nies. am on my way back to Richmond.
"H. RVEs POLLARD"
He showed the telegram to several gen.
tlemen whom he knew to be warm, per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Pollard, and they
Mr.. Wynne, in reply to a question by
the Mayor, what bonds or drafts were al
luded TO by Mr.. Pollard, replied: /" In the
purchase of the Examiner he gave Pollard
a bond payable in the form Of an annuity
at the rate of 5000 per month for two years
from the date of purchase. This had been
paid up TO the lst of March, and about the
Ist of April he received letter from DR..
c.. A. Moore, who was Pollard's bondsman
for his appearance in Baltimore, inform
ing him that he had advanced one thousand
dollars on the bond, and it had been
assigned to DR.. Moore for five months to
come. Soon after the receipt of this letter
Pollard drew on Mr.. Wynne for two hun
dred dollars, and about the same time DR..
Moore wrote him a letter (which was pro-
duced in court requesting him not to pay
anv drafts made by Pollard until the
81 900 was paid, and alleging as a reason
for thus writing that Pollard had requested
him to allow Wynne to pay draft OF one
hundred and thirty dollars. Mr.. Wynne
stated that he declined to pay the draft of
5000 for the reason that Pollard had not
only no right to draw on him at all on the
contrary. he told him he would never ac-
cept draft drawn by Pollard, and for the
additional reason, that having full conf
dence in the statement made in DR.. Moore's
letter, he considered the debt due to DR..
Moore; and for failing TO meet Pollard's
draft under these circumstances the threat
contained in the dispatch was made"
Judge Ould asked Mr.. Wynne if he be-
lievcd that Mr.. Pollard had at this time
any intention of attacking him.
Mr.. Wynne was not able to say, but
thought that if an opportunity occurred
Pollard would attack him. His counsel
had assured him that he had no such
intention.
Mr., Ould stated to his Honor that Mr..
Pollard asserted that he had dictated the
telegram under the impulse of moment
and while in state of violent excitement,
and that he had no intention Of executing
his threat.
Mr.. Pollard stated, in addition to what
his counsel had said, that he had no idea
of attacking Mr.. Wynne, as he was already
under bonds. He had had the misfortune
to be under peace bonds for long time,
but he had never yet violated one.
His Honor said that he had never known
more aggravating breach of good be-
havior than this, or words more authorized
to create a quarrel than those contained in
the telegram of Mr.. Pollard. He would
bind him over in the sum of 81 900.
Mr.. Ould hoped that this would not be
done. Mr.. Pollard was not man OF
means. He was already under heavy
bonds, and this would be but an addition
to them.
His Honor would not revoke his decision,
and Mr.. Pollard gave bond-Mr. ould ana
