TIE RAMpAaEoUs Mrs. PoLLARD.-The Bal
timore Gazette, Of Wednesday, has detailed
account of the rampaeeous conduct OF the
mild. meek and mannerly Mrs. E. A. Pollard.
t. seems that Mrs. Mattine Pollard, wife Of
r. A. Pollard, author OF the Lost Cause" en-
tered the store OF DR.. Moore, on Hanover
street, and catechized him as to the Where-
abouts Of her husband, intimatng TO
him that she believed tnat ne @. smUT1i;e rsN1;e9
that he was not able to give the informa-
t,on. She persisted in her inquiries, and, as
she stood near the door keeping it open during
her interrogations, the Doctor requested her
either 10 come in or close the door and leave.
She declining, Moore advanced toward her,
whether for the purpose OF ejectlnS her Hom
the premises or. pot is yet unproven.. .,,o ,ro,,
NJ q pistol was heard, and Moore charged neI
with an attempt to shoot him. Sho demed
the charge. saving that the sound was that
of KEYS in her pockets. Moore, not pelng sat-
;sfed with her explanation, and perceiving
removed effort on her part to shoot, endesvoreo
to oust her from the store, whereupon sne, ao-
oording to the testimony elected at Moores
house before Justice McKilley,, deliberately
,o no;nted the pistol OF Moore, shooting. him
| through tho left wrist. Tho weapon used was
one Of Aliens single-barreled cartridge pistols
In her defence She alleged that Moore had
some time back, inflicted blows upon her, and
Che deni.d tho shooting, or even the having o
the the pistol. She said that she thought she OBJ.
served her husband in Moore's store when sne
passed it, and that was the cause OF her re-
turning to and entering it. ,s H.
From information derived outside OF the ,tsS e1
animation before the Justice, it appeared ina
for over nineteen years there has peen "a, q Gioss
intimacy between DR.. Moore and E. a. Pollard
II is stated that either for some real or lmasl
nary NJ ~ grievances, Mrs Pollard threatened, tw'
or three weeks since, the Life Of Moore: Ue i";
ciining to give bail, she was committed 70 laiI lai
bv Justice Mckinley, on the charge OF shoot
inc and attempting to kill G. a. Moore.
