letter from POwhatan County.


PuwuATAN COURTHOUSE, July 8, 1919.
Judge William Pope DaGney has just aG.
iourned his court here, after flushing
lengthy and laborious criminal docket.
There were FIVE cases of felony tried at this
term, which resulted in four convictions and
one hung jury. the latter-the plainest case
of alI--bcing hung by an old colored Juror
on "a mere matter of moonshine," ssying
that the witness stated that on the night OF
the larceny the moon was three-fourths, and
the prisoners counsel proved by the almanac
that this was not exactly true; and this, 10
his opinion, was ga grave error-a serious
blupder" In one Of these cases there was
only nominal punishment Of 81 fine and one
minute in Jail. Two others filed their bills OF
exceptions and applied to the Circuit Court for
new trial. leaving only one at present, hoy
named William Martin, convicted Of house
breaking, TO have free ride TO Colonel Stroth-
er's boardlng.house. During the tedious detail
of those trials the excessively hot weather
was more oppressive than was ever felt be-
fore In this vicinity, and 10 "a locker on IN
| Venice" it would seem that judge. jury, and
bar had been put through Thonpsonlan
hath. But notwithstanding the relaxing in
fueuce of the weather, the indefatigaoie and
irrepressible attorney for the Common
wealth, Thomas Nj. Miller, did not release or
relax his "strong grip" upon those prison.
ers, and be and Judge Dabney are deter,
mined to run court here that good men VIII
admire and bad meu may well fear.
And in this connection would like TO ask,
in the name ofiu>tice, what was our glorious
LEGISLATURE thinking about when they so in'
sed the laborS of our worthy county
Judges throughout the Stale, by restoration
70 criminal Jurisdiction, Without increasing
,beir salaries! Such legislation. think, II
Intentional, is outrageous; bot suppose II
WIS ONLY an mi.sion, which will be correct
ed among the FIRST things done by our next
i General Assembly. These salaries are paltry
