stage-ofice, and under the name Of Mr.. Brown,
took two seats in the western stage for Kings

a boy by the name of Newman NewIand.-
The next morning CRAFTY and the boy Al

CONNECTION Of Charles Williams (negro) of the
murder Of his wife on the 25th of June, 1912.
The evidence Tor the defence closed this morn
ing. Most of it tended to make out an i'm
parchment of the testimony Of one of the wit
nesses, Mr.. Lightioot Lghtfoot is the person
to whom Williams confessed the murder. The
testimony tended to impeach the character of
Lighttoot, but was not sufficient to produce
unbeef in the minds of the jury in regard to his
testimony in relation to the confession of Will
liams, las elected OH the witness stand The coun-
sci for Williams, Messrs. Woodward and Rad
cliffe made strong effort for prisoner, but the iu-
ry returned into court, after short absence,
with verdict Of guilty, Messrs. FendaIl and
Carlisle were employed for the prosecution by
MIR. Hoban, the District Attorney, who is,
am sorry to state, confined to his house By sick
ness The counsel for Williams moved for
new trial on the ground that no evidence was
produced to show that the murder took place
in the county Of Washington. The body of
Williams wife was found near the chain bridge,
on the Washington county side-the brigde d.
vding Fairfax county, Va, and Washington
city, ID. G. The motion for new trial has
not been argued.
