A Son Of Acco,nac Meard From.

The following from the News, pub
lished at Denver, Colorado, relates to a
former citizen Of Accomac, and will be
read with interest by many friends in his
I old home. Wehope he willno stop in his
march upward" until hei is sent to
Washington as the Democratic senator
of Colorado. The closing argument in
the Haas murder case was made by N.
B. Wescott, of Pueblo, who, although a
young man, made the greatest address
to the jury ever heard in this district
Commencing with the evidence intro
duced he led the jury step by step over
the ground, pointing out with cltarness
and accuracy the manner in which the
murderer did bis bloody work and then
skulked off nthe darkness. His speech
was so pointed, so terribly realistic and
convincing, that Mrs. Haas, who has sat
beside her husband during the whole
trial, burst into tears several times, and
finally was forced to leavethe courtroom
to control her agitation. The speaker
was eloquent and logical, and it is safe
to say that his address had the effect of
delaying the verdict so that up to the
present time none has been rendered
Had the case gone to the jury last night
directly after Macon 81 able speech there
is hardly a doubt that a verdict of not
guilty would have been rendered in Il few
minutes. AS it is there is {. probability
of a divided jury. lii which case the
prosecution may consider themselves
fortunate, their evidence being of the
most suspicious and slimmest char
acter."
