A SCENE IN Court AT WHEELING.-It has
already been stated that at Wheeling, West
Virginia, the trial of Matte Batham, for the
murder of j. McNash, resulted in verdict OF
not guilty. About year since Miss Latham,
having been betrayed by McNash, visited his
boarding house, and on his refusal to marry
her, deliberately shot him dead. The Wheel
lug Register thus describes the scene that &C.
cured on the rendition of the verdict:
The argument closed and the case was sub
mitted to he Jury about L o'clock, and they
retired. In Just twenty minutes they returned,
and when the foreman, j. Is. Hughes, announc
ed the verdict of "Not guilty" the old court
house rang with the huzzas OF the multitude
Men threw up their hats and shouted and thu
ladies waved their handkcrchiets and clapped
their hands, while the prisoner and her friends
shed tears of joy at her acquittal. The judg

was followed ont of the court house by the i'm
