LETTER FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE.

LETTER FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE.
Correspondence of the Alexandria GAzErTE9
CHARLOTTESVILLE, May 20.-The trial OF
Joe Barbour for the murder of Randall Jack
son in this place on last November, was
concluded in the Circuit Court OIL Friday
last, the jury finding the prisoner guilty OF
murder in the first degree, and Judge
Hughes sentencing him to be hanged on Fri
day, the 25th day of July next. Barbour
through his council Messrs. Davis and Har-
man, moved for a new trial, which was re-
fused, and council will appeal to the Court
of Appeals, which meets in Wythevile on
the lst of July 1t is hardly probable that
the Court of Appeals will set aside the de-
csion of the Circuit Court, as the evidence
in the case was clear and conclusive, and
the verdict Of the jury is in accordance with
public sentiment, it being one Of the most
heartless and unprovoked murders ever per-
petrated in our midst. Had he been ac-
quilted he would doubtless have been lynch
ed by his own color, so much incensed were
the colored people at his heinous crime. 1t
will be remembered that some time last
November Joe Barbour, Randall Jackson,
the murdered man, and several others in
company were returning home after max
ing some purchases one Saturday night.
When near the G. 4 o. depot, at the edge
of town, Joe proposed that they all take a
drink in bar room near by. Randall OBJ
jectcd, saying he was anxious to get home,
as it was late, and his wife and children
were alone, when Joe Barbour plunged a
knife into mis- neck, severing the iugular
vein, and gashed him up generally, from
which he died in a few minutes. The MUIR
ierer fled. hut was captured the same night
and lodged in Jail.
Our community was thrown into consid-
cradle excitement on last Monday morning
