guilty by jury OF involuntary man
slaughter, and the term OF mis- con fine
ment in the State prison fixed at one
year.
Mr. Cloves is a most estimable citizen
OF the ola Burg. aud on this account
was clothed with the power of con
servator Of the peace. EdlOe was "a
bitter partisan politician, ard Ieaped a
broad swath in Williamsburg. The un-
fortunate occurrence of his death ema.
mated from politics and from threats
that Edloe had made. The ease was
tried before a jury. with the results
above stated. and the feeling OF the
community was such as 70 cause a petit
ton for pardon % be presented 70 the
Governor. Mr.. \. c Peachy, the Com
mOnwealth's attorney for Williams
burg. was also present. but not As
petitioner for pardon.
A number Of distinguished citizens
