merous slaves in the neighborhood VI
Lynchburg.
The hearing Of the case this morning,
which was but repetition of the tesLa-
mOny elected at the Coroner, inYestiga-
ton, developed strong chain ofcrcuia-
sJantial evidence against The accused,
| though he is positive he can explain TO
| The satisfaction OF u jury that he was nOt
| in The neighborhood OF the place where
the murder occurred AZ the lime II muSI
havo been committed.
His statement Of his whereabouts the
morning OF the murder, 10 to STAB
reporter this morning, who interviewed
him in his cell, was substantially as To-
lows: .....
''He had been on Rlt Row that night,
and left there at half past O'clock
Tuesday morning. He came up 10
George Moore's place from The Row
where he first accosted the deceased.

time it was o'clock. He went as tirsE
intended to Buckner's, but found
nobody stir in the house, retraced ms
steps and went home to his graudmotA-

Morris, after denying all knowledge OF
lhow Florence George came to her death,
said in u strangely emphatic manner:
"ThaL woman must nave been kitie1
