Why Henry Virgins, the Murderer
ofPortcr, il Still Unhung.

In "a conversation yesterday with State
Attorney Wigg, of this judicial district,
he gave us some valuable information
relative to the motion for a new trial in
the case of Henry Virgins, the colored
boy now in Jail under sentence of death
for killing Porter, at Orange Point, in
this county. The Governor has been
censured for not isauing the warrant for
his execution. But the Governor has no
power in the case as yet. Immediately
after the trial and conviction, Virgins
counsel moved for q new trial on the
ground of certain Irregularities in the
proceedings of the court. One was that
the jury did not specify the degree of
murder in their verdict. Another was
that the records OF the court do not show
that Virgins was asked the usual ques-
ton in such cases, if he had anything to
say why sentence of death should not be
passed upon him, and that the sentence
was made in the third instead of the
second person. On these and some
other technical grounds Il new trial was
asked for and a motion made To that
effect. MS nlOliOl VIII be ilGsill DttIoTt
the supreme court at Tallahassee at its
next term, which viii be held in Janu-
airy. In the meantime, the judge of this
judicial district, AID before whom Wig
gins was tried, has issued an order to
stay proceedings until the motion for a
new trial can he heard 10y the supreme
| court. The Governor cannot issue a
death warrant until the supreme court
has decided the motion now pending.
This will explain why the Governor has
not taken any action. VIII. Their Wig
gins gets "A new trial or not depends.
The grounds on which the motion is
made are good, but they are technical,
and may not be regarded by the higher
court as sufficient to justify IA new trial.
From all we can learn we think it doubt
full if young Virgins gets a new trial.
In the meantime he will remain in jail
here at Palatka.

late husband, John h. Strous, was in

the expiration of siaty days. which is
seldom done. l cannot find words to
express my feelings of gratitude to you
for inducing my husband to take out a
policy, thereby providing Tor myself, his
aged mother, and four little children.
l hope you may succeed in persuading
every married man in taking apolicy,
50 that if it should please Providence to
call the father and husband, he could
die easier, knowing he was not leaving
his helpless family depending on stran-
gers.
Sincerely wishing the Mutual Life In

More Sense Than To Tackle !, Print

Some time Saturday night or early
Sunday morning, a burglar evidently
of weak mind and small experience,
gave THE News nocturnal visit. and
busted himself for a couple of hours
looking over all paper accounts that
could not be collected, or hunting for
the record of some public man that lie
thought might lee stored in some of the
many pigeon-holes of the editorial desk.
He also broke open the money draw,
but lie never found "A penny, or even a
postage stamp.
At this stage the fellow must have be
come desperate, for lie got down our
Webster and Greek and Latin dictionary
and several agricultural reports sent us
by partial congressional friends, and
piled them into a hamper basket which
he found about the premises But that
( load of knowledge was too heavy for
him, and he left it carefully deposited
by the reporters table. We don't know
whether he intended to perpetrate a Joke
by doing this, or was merely sarcastic.
But the check OF the man is beyond
comprehension. The most thick headed
burglar in Jail would have had better
sense than to rifle newspaper office
with the expectation of finding anything.
The next thing we expect to hear of
that burglar is that he has attempted to
break in jail to rob the prisoners Of val

arrested IL man named VIM. Muncy and
lodged him in the city Jail for violating
the city ordinances. Muncy claimed
that he had a boat at Underwood's canal,
where lie had been camping, and asked
that the officers get it. Thinking that
they would capture the parties seen
loafing about the canal lately, they went
out after the boat about , o'clock Sunday

officers were rowing the boat back to

man, undertook To walk back via the j.,

he reached the track, however, he was
fired at twice by parties in the bush, who
ordered him To halt. One of the balls
cut through his shirt, and blistered his
left side, when he fell TO the ground To
dodge other shots. When the highway
men saw Woodring fall one of them re-
marked that they had fixed one, and
then they would go down and see about

Neil and the boy landed and went to
Woodring's assistance, but they had fled
when Woodring commenced firing at
them, and they could not be found.
The boat is at Capt. Lucas boat house,
and the officers will keep sharp lookout
for the highwaymen, and will doubtless
catch them. VIM. Muncy will be tried
on other charges as soon as he has served
the sentence he is cow working out.
