MARTIN JOYCE, who WAS allowed time
by the jury on the McGrew case to think
up the conversation between himself and
}. H. Watkins, says that he has nothing
further to add to what he has already
given.
THERE seems to be no new develop
ments in the McGrew murder case. The
Jury are looking up further testimony
but we learn they have nothing yet
of any moment. IL has been clearly
shown that that Archibald McGrew was
in st. Clairsville, on the evening of Dec.
llth, and morning of the 18th, and thus
all suspicion has been removed from him.
Mrs. McGrew is still visiting her rela-
tives and it is not known when she will
return. NO verdict will probably be
given to-day and perhaps not for several
days.
