MIR. PoLLARD's POSITION.

It was not known until yesterday noon
that Officer Wyatt had retained Esss
services of Mr.. J. Garland Pollard to
assist Attorney Richardson in the prose-
cution of the cases in which he is SO
deeply interested, and while it is not
known to be a fact that the patrolman
Retained Mr. Pollard at the suggestion
of influential and wealthy citizens of the
city, it was impossible last night 70
learn just who is putting UP the money
for the services of Mr.. Pollard.
In this same connection it was learned
yesterday afternoon that during the
past two or three weeks, during the alb
sence from the city of Mr.. Richardson.
Officer Wyatt has had almost daily the
advise of Mr. C. V. Meredith. 1t was
further alleged that Mr.. Meredith adj
vised the officer in the legal aspect of
nearly every step taken by him since
the first arrest in the gambling cases.
Two or three weeks ago 1t was cur
rently reported that Mr.. Meredith had
been retained to assist Mr.. Richardson
in the prosecution of the cases, but at
that time the attorney denied the rumor,
stating that under no considerations
would he appear as an attorney in the
trial of the six men.
In addition to the deep interest taken
in the case from the point of prota BILE
sensational Scstmony and developments,
numbers of people are locking forward
to grand legal battle, and they will
probably get what they are looking for,
the array of legal talent on the two
sides being recognized as comprising
some of the best criminal attorneys in
the State.
AS stated above Commonwealth Attor
ney Richardson Will appear in behalf of
the State. while the alleged gamblers
will be represented Jointly by Attorneys

STRONG EVIDENCE
While every effort was made last night
to ascertain what had developed in this
martial hearing of the evidence for the
prosecution, little or 10 success was met
with. Neither of the three gentlemen nor
any of the witnesses who appeared De
fore them would divulge any part OF the
testimony that was taken at the con
ference. but MT. Richardson stated iast
night to a reporter for the Times tnat
the evidence was of the strongest and he
felt little doubt of getting CONVICTION
in every one of the six cases
Asked concerning the paraphernala
" hich had been secured in the different
raids which officer Wyatt has made dur
in.. the past two or three weeks and the
nroha bility Of the State being able TO
nrove ownership of the numerous devices
now stored in the City Hall, he said:
II think we have evidence enough IN
orr possession to establish beyond doubt
t,,o ownership of much of the parapher-
nslia which has been captured. but there
may be a few of the numerous devices
If which we will not be able to prove
ownership. but this will make little or
no difference. .
SANGUINE OF SUCCESS.
Mr.. Richardson was so sangEine of sue
o.ss in ALI of the gambling cases that he
ssid II would not be necessary to call
al, of the witnesses who have been sum

Continuing in his remarks about the
gambling cases. Mr.. Richardson stated
tho+ he was not aware of the nature or
the evidence the defense proposed intro
dueing. and for this reason he was I'M
allie at this time to make any prediction
as to how much time it would require
to dispose of the six cases. II Is not
expected, however, that over two Gays
