The report shows that such su-

Pollard Obtained Permit ,

RICHMOND, Va, Dee. 16.
Working on the theory that Thomas
Pollard, local realty operator, was
scathingly upbraided BY Mrs.
Thelma Richardson, his discharged
twenty-four-year-old blonde stsnog-
rapher, prior to the fatal tus0el on
his doorsteps, detectives today an
nounced that he had secured

ber Is.
The detectives are now convinced
that Pollard was fearful that his

the switching Of his attentica frem

titled as q choir singer in South

In investigating the issuancs OF
the permit, exactly two months 0e-
fore Mrs. Richardson was shot to
death. the police find that Pollard
gave no reason for desiring to
carry q weapon. They also found
no record Of a permit being issued
Mrs. Richardson.
Credence is also given, IN this
connection, to the theory that the
mysterious telephone call of Dear
est Little Hamm" Just before she

would explain why she was not In

This string Of circumstAnces.

to support Pollard's contention that
the new and unused gun wns his
property, while the death" gun
was carried by Dearest Little
Hamm." 1t is said that the gun
may have been purchased at the
same time Pollard secured the per

What is considered a. an impor.
tant piece Of evidence was found
by the detectives yesterday In the
form of a scrap Of paper, evidently
written Mrs. Richardson by a girl
chun. containing the following ad.
monition:
"Hamm, I swear I wouldn't

FOR STATE TREASURER
0. I. Hinton of Pickens MAY Make
the Race.

Pickens county will likely furnish
candidate this year for state treas
urer.
Mr.. Olar T. Hinton, at present
treasurer of Pickens county, is Sc
rlously considering making the race
Tor state treasurer. In fact, since
1T became known that he is consider
ing making the race he has received
so much encouragement and promises
of support that he has almost def
nltely decided to toss his hat into the
ring.
Should Mr.. Hinton run for state
treasurer he would undoubtedly make
strong race. Prominent men of this
section who ought to know say he
could be elected. He has been offered
the strongest kind of support from
several sections.
So far no candidate has announced
for state treasurer. Treasurer Car
ter, who has held the office some
twelve or fourteen years, will likely
retire this year to private life, of
his own choice or otherwise, and will
probably be succeeded by some man
from the Piedmont section of the
state
Mr.. Hinton would make an ideal
state treasurer. He is thoroughly
capable and CHRISTIAN gentleman of
the highest type.
1T has been a long time since a
Plckens county man offered for a
state office and should Mr.. Hinton
decide to make the race Pickens coun-
ty would stand more than an even
chance of furnishing the next state
treasurer.
