THE ELECTION CASES.
Was Their Crime "infamous" OF Not?--
The Judge RESERVES Ills Decision.

DANvILLE. Va, November 26.-'Special.
In the United states District Court This
morning William L. Craig. dstrict-nitOr-
ney. filed documents known "A "infOrma-
tiOns" against II. 4. Cobb and John smith.
Of North DanyilIe, and +. Allen Fox, Of
panyille. The two North Danyille men
were arrested several months ago. charged
with intmidating voters ~ the Congress
siOnal election last year. and were sent on
10 the grand Jury by United States Commits
si0Rer Legls,
Fox, who was registrar in the First ward
Of this city. was arrested few DAYS before
the late election and arraigned before
United States Commissioner Tinsley,
charged with illegally erasing from the
registration books the names OF certain col
Ored voters just prior 10 the Presidential
election of last year. Fox was also sent on
to the grand Jury for indictment.
The grand jury lailed 20 Indie; tho three
men and to-day the cases were brought up
and 'infOrmations" filed by the district al
torney This Information seemed TO take
the place Of an indictment. Counsel IOr the
def8nse moved to qudsh the information on
the ground that article ) Of the Constitution
says in effect that no man shall be tried for
an infamous crime unless he shall be tirst
indicted by grand jury, and the supreme
Court of the United States had decded that
the ofienses charged against these men and
the punishment provided are what the
law terms s.infamOus." District Attorney
Craig 1ombatted this idea and very nice
law poini was rai,eq.
Judge Paul said the question raised was
Of so grave character that he must take
time 10 consider. and continued The GASES
to the next term Of the court, taking the de-
PENDANTS personal FecOgnizance for their
appearance.

ftcture Of wool, the wool growers of Ohio

the wool growers Of the United States. and

result Of the last Presidential election was
m emphatic expression by a large majority
0f the people in favor Of a comprehensive
system embracing all our industries. in
cluding the protection Of wool by name. II
the Republican party in its legislation or
administrative departments fails TO comply
with this expression, IT will secure the re-
proach Of in>incerity or inability 10 per
form its duty. As wool growers, we
ask for such legislation and such
administration Of existing laws as are re-
qnred by the deliberate promises made by
The Republican party prior tO the last Presi-
Dental election. y We recognize
the importance Of preserving the wool
manufacturing industry. They denOunce
the injustice Of allowing the carpet indus

United states are called upon to be fully

THE BROWNSBURG TRAGEDY
Counsel for the Defense in Consultation


LEXINGTON, Va, November 26.-ISpe-
cial.l-Thomas W. Williams, the we'll
known criminal lawyer Of Lynchburg. Mr..
Frank 4. Glasgow and Hon. Edmund PEN
dleton, Of this place, two equally az we'll
known jurists, were in consultation last
night, and today with 4. j. Miller. a
brother Of Henry Mil r, killed by Walker
At Brlwnsburg. and an uncle Of the Miller
boys. confined in the LyDchburg jail,
charged with the murder Of DIR.
and Mrs. II. j. Walker. The CONSUL
tatiOn was % determine upon contract for
fees 10 be paid. which A. j. Miller, the uncle
is to guarantee. am informed that the
matter remains unsettled, but the prOba-
bility is that il will be satisfactorily adj
justed, and that these able practitioners Of
criminal law will be retained for the defense.
The statement that Senator John W. Daniel
will appear for the prisoners is without
foundation Of fact. A line Of defense was
discus -ed at the consultation. While moth
ing is known as to what the line Of defense
will be. but the only thing that would seem
plausible and practicable would be that
James Miller did not kill Mrs. Walker
but that the shot that killed
her was accidental. Public opinion is with
the other prisoners and it would be a diff
cult matter 10 find jury TO convict them;
but as 10 James Miller, there is a strong
feeling against him, as it is believed he de-
liberately killed Mrs. Walker. Jim Miller
has a wife and several children. and on that
account a sympathy is developing for him.
A recently formed land improvement COM
pany, composed of Lexington and staunton
men, to-day purchased the farm Of
L. A. Moore, opposite Buena Vista, for
which they paid $4,000.
