Webb Evidence Argued Illegal CHARLESTON IAP) Were notes and checks for $33,000 used as evidence of bribery between a gambler and a State Police sergeant seized ilegally? The State Supreme Court may be asked to decide. The defense attorney for the gambler, who 'is Harold Harbin, argues that the seizure violated the sanctity of an indivudual's possessions and, further, that Lhe checks and notes are not evidence of any crime. This position was not accepted by Intermediate Court Judge William J.

Thompson yesterday; he denied Harbin's request for their return. BUT THE JUDGE himself said that the issue raised was a subtle one, and allowed 30 days for an appeal to circuit court. It is expected that the legality of the seizure will be argued up to the State Supreme Court, if need be. Meanwhile, the docketing of Harbin's trial for bribery has been suspended, pending the outcome of the appeal. He and W.

S. Webb, then a State Police sergeant, now a business man in Florida, were both indicted after the notes and checks were found March 13 in a raid on The Jeep in South Charleston for evidence of a numbers lottery. THE STATE, learning of the signatures of both men on the papers, claimed- that Webb demanded and got protection money, from Harbin. Webb's trial ended in a deadlocked jury. Should the final ruling on 'the seizure be.

that it w.as illegal, the state probably would not 'be able to try Harbin, now in the county jail for operating a place where bets were -taken. In overruling Harbin's motion, Judge Thompson adopted the position of Pros. Charles W.
