From the Richmond Whig, 8/30/1864, p. 2, c. 5
THE DUEL. - In the case of
Messrs. Elmore and Pollard, charged with being concerned in the late duel, the
County Court yesterday morning decided that Dr. Peticolas "was bound to
testify," he having declined to do so on the previous day, on the ground that
his evidence might implicate himself.
Dr. P. still respectfully
declining to testify, the court issued a warrant for his commitment. Thereupon
Dr. P. was carried before Judge Meredith on a habeas corpus, and the
Judge bailed him in $1,000 to appear this morning at 11 o'clock, when the case
will be argued at length.
The County Court then
adjourned the case of Messrs. Pollard and Elmore till Saturday next.
