The appeal Of Wesley Honesty, con-
victed aud sentenced in the Corporation
Court of Winchester for the murder Of
James McFaul, Of Mt. Jackson, during a
political demonstration in November 1884,

intelligent aud unprejudiecd jury, before
an able and impartial judge. His de-
fence was represented by three able and
earnest lawyers. His fate will be a warn
