THE GAINES MURDER TRIAL.
Interest in MiddlesoK and Essex-story OF
the Murder of Young Carlton.


the Murder of Young Carlton.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
TAPPAHANYocK, ESSEX COUNTY,
January 81. 1891. !
The County Court of this county COM
menced to-day. Much interest was felt IN
fhis court from the fact that the trial of
George Gaines for the murder of Percy
Carlton was TO take place, and an immense
crowd was in attendance both from Essex
and Middlesex. az the murder was COM
mitted Immediately on the line of the two
counties.
The feeling and interest in the case was
80 great, as exhibited by both white and
colored, that il was almost impossible to
hear or see anything at the bar.
NOT GUILTY THE PLEA.
After the Jury had been empanelled the
prisoner was arraigned and pleaded not
guilty. go,
Messrs. Thomas Croxton and Hewbill,
of this county. and Jones, OF Middlesex,
appeared for the prisoner and Colonel
William X. Aylett engaged to assist the
Commonwealth ATTORNEY. Only two or
three witnesses. of whom there are large
number, we're examined yesterday and the
case adjourned over for to-day. il is sup
posed it will continue for several days.
HISTORY OF THE cRrsE.
The circumstances of the murder as de-
tailed by a near neighbor, who is wit
ness, are as follows:
Percy Carlton, son of John Carlton,
was very young, having just returned from
college and but recently opened store in
his neighborhood, where he was very pop
ular. One day he scrubbed something on
a piece of paper without signing or adj
dressing il to any one and left it lying
there. A colored boy who was in the store
picked il up and carried it to the wife of
George Gaines, telling her that Carlton
sent it to her. This negro woman was of
bad character and had several children
when she married Gaines. She showed the
paper to Gaines, who was very much in
censed and sought to find Carlton, who in
the mean time had gone TO the Baptist AS
ISOLATION, where he remained several days.
SHOT IN THE BACK.
Immediately after his return the negro
went TO his store and charged him with
sending this communication to his wife,
which Carlton denied. Not satisfied, how
ever, the negro drew his pistol and adj
yanced upon Carlton, who was behind his
counter. Carlton reached down to get q
weight TO defend himself, and while in the
act the negro leaned over the counter and
shot him in the back.
Soon after the wounding Carlton was
paralyzed and gradually wasted away I'M
ill he died, some two months after. His
father died q week or two before his son
from grief.

NEGRO ALLIANCES.
The negroes throughout this section, it
is said, are freely joining the alliance and
forming sub-alliances of their own. Awell-
known leader Of the race in one of the adj

funds which they had received from other
banks by express Just prior to tneir de-
psrture. The bank had for some time been
IN had condition. Cross and White we're
arrested in Canada and the case became OF
national notoriety.
TRIED AND CONVICTED.
They were tried here in 1888 and convict

Supreme Court, which affirmed the ue-
cision of the Superior Court, ana then 70
the United States Supreme Court upon,

States Supreme Court and we're soon after
resentenced TO hard labor on the pubic
roads of this county. They had been
many months in Jail. but were out on Dali
when the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court was rendered.
IN THE COUNTY CONVICT GANG.
Both men had been in the county con-
Wet gang n year, Cross having been SEN
fenced for seven years and White for five.
They proved TO be good prisoners and bore
their punishment in manly way; very
earnest efforts to secure their pardon had
for some time been in progress
THEIR DEVOTED WIVES.
To-day their devoted wives called upon
Governor Fowle and presented petitlons
for pardon bearing thousands OF sigma
lures. Among the signatures we're Sena-
tors Ransom and Vance, nearly all the
members of the Legislature, and the
Judge, jury, and solicitor of the superior
Court.
CHARITABLE ENDORSEMENT.
The Governor granted the pardons and
made the following endorsement upon tne
napers in the case: I'm these cases there
was no preconceiyed purpose to defraud or
obtain personal advantage, but IT was an
attempt to sustain sinking bank by IN
warranted means and unlawful practices.
In q fit of desperation and failure
they succumbed TO the temptation, and
fled. carrying with them money belonging
to Others, almost all of which was after
wards surrendered by them.
NOT THE CRIMINAL GLASSES.
THE former character of these men and
their action after the offences were COM
mitted show that they do not belong TO the
criminal class in the ordinary acceptatlon
of the term, and considering the punish
ment already suffered and the recon-
mendatious of 30 many of the members OF
both of the coordinate branches OF the
government. as well as of my associates
in the Executive Department and of many
very excellent citizens, think 1t right to
order the pardons to issue"
GREATLY AFFECTED.
The party in the Governors Office were
greatly affected by the pleas for clemency
and bv the Governors kind words in
granting the pardon, and in every eye
there were tears. The pardoning gives
public satisfaction.
