An Alleged Accidental killing-Coid
Weather,
.speclAl Correspondencel

lHlNN4AA correspondence
FINcAsTIE, Va, January 11.-This
morning the village was thrown into
quite an excitement by colOred man
named Charles Welch presenting him
self accompanied by the husband Of the
woman killed., claiming that he had ac-
cidenlly shot and killed a colored woman
by the name of Lucy Jones. Alfred
Berkley, Esq, Justice of the Peace and
acting coroner, Immediately summoned
a jury of inquest, and, with the Attorney
for the Commonwealth, proceeded to the
cabin, about mile and half from town,
where the killing took place, TO inves-
tigate il. Upon their arrival the jury
were sworn, and, after viewing the body,
proceeded 10 hear the evidence.
1t was shown that Jones and his wife
lived unhappily together, and, after con.
sidering all the circumstances Of the case,
the jury found a verdict that Lucy
Jones came to her death by pistol shot
fred by Charles Welch with intent 10 kill,
and that John A. Jones, her husband,
was an accessory before the fact" Jones
was Immediately arrested and lodged in
Jail with Welch, who did the killing.
There they will remain until tried, and
what the result will be no one can for
tell. My own opinion is that it was an
accident; though Jones is very much
pleased at the accident. At any rate all
the witnesses say it was accidental.
Most of our citizens who have ice
houses filled or partially filed them
during the last cold snap, and if the
present weather holds on they will have
another opportunity.
