Court Yesterday.
The commonwealth was represented
by Attorney Smith, assisted by w. O.

L. Powell defended the prisoners. The
evidence was conclusive, and the aged
sneak head of George Colvin shook
omniously; George Hairston whined

Saint Shaffer, the impudent little
vagrant, who has been before the mayor

at the discontinue of his three partners

Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Hardoway poured
hot shot into the whole gang, and said
it would be glorious radiance to the

WILL HE COME BACK ?
Rodabaugh's Friends Do Not
Look for His Return.

The account of tho career of E. f.
Kodabaugh, as published exclusively
in The TINES yesterday morning,
created sensation in some of the
circles in which the alleged bigamist
has been moving since coming to Roam
oke.
Rodabaugh has been member of sew
eral church choirs, was popular as a
bass singer and stood high in the
esteem of number of society people.
The TINES was in demand and the
story was the leading topic of talk
among those who knew Rodabaugh..
Many who knew him personally said
he would never come back to Roanoke,
and questioned that he had gone to
Pennsylvania.
Rodabaugh was member of two
lodges, and was presiding officer in one.
These lodges have been investigating
the case for some time, and were Just
ready to take action when he left the
city.
The first intimation that was received
direct from wife No. was q letter to
Rev. w. II. Schooley last December,
saying that she had been mislcd by Ro-
dabaugh, and giving the dates of their
marriage and other facts which were
conclusive proof that something was
wrong. This was followed by other let
tiers, but Mr.. Martin was kept in the
dark by anonymous communications
until the truth was made known by the
alleged bogus divorce
letter was addressed to Mr.. Martin
some time in January purporting TO be
written from the Continental Hotel and
signed by man named Pritchard. This
letter went on to say that Rodabaugh
was friend of the writer, and uhe wo-
man in Pennsylvania was trying to in
lure him. He added that Rodabaugh
had procured legal divorce and no
trouble need be feared about the natter.
The writer of this letter could not be
found. No such man had ever been in
Roanoke so far as could be found out.
From the town in which it is written it
is thought that Rodabaugh did it him
self, or secured the aid of a confcderat to.

Evidence In the Wheeling Murder Trinl
Against the Man of Medicine.


Against the Man of Medicine.
WHEErlNG,W w. Va, May l3.-l Especial l.
The evidence in the Garrison murder
case today was very damaging to the
defendant. The theory of the defense
has been that DR.. Garrison got off IL
street car at Main and Eleventh streets,
and was going east on Eleventh street
when he met DR.. Baird, who applied
cpithets to him, which precipitat ted
the murder.
Miss Lottie Walton, John Armstrong
and Leonard Gcrkestettcr all testified
that they did not see Garrison between
the point where the shooting occurred
and the corner of Main street, Miss Wal
ton saying she would have seen the doc
tor had be passed, as she occupied a
seat at window OH the opposite side of
the street.
Gerkestettcr said no saw the doctor at
tho corner OF the alley on Eleventh
street, east of whore tho shooting oc-
CURED, and that Garrison followed Dr.
Bairds buggy west, and shot the doc
tor as he was tying his horse

An injunction came very near putting
stop to the work on tho Henry sire ct
overhead bridge yesterday. That dan
gerous document was already written
up and in the hands of one of the best
lawyers in the city, and it only wanted
the signature of Judge Robertson to
make its work effective.
j. Allen Watts, acting under instruc-
ton OF his clients, p. L. Terry, c.
O'Leary, Roanoke Electric Light Plant,
Roanoke Grocery and Milling Company,
Baker & Nininger and Grinberg e Nor
ris.drew up an injunction to restrain the
laying Of tho foundation for tho APP
proach to the Henry street bridge, stat
ing that it cut off Front street and made
1T inaccessible to teams either from
Salem or Railroad avenues.
front street was narrow alley run
ming from Henry to Commerce street
between Salem avenue and the railroad
until recently, whom it was made forty
feet wide.
News that the injunction was about
to be taken out reached Councilman
Mcdonnell at the Machine Works. He
IS chairman of the special committee on
the overhead bridges. Dropping every
thing quick as flash, he was soon in
consultation with j. Allen Watts.
attorney for tho complanants, c. S.
Churchill, engineer of maintenance of
way of the Norfolk and Western and
L. 5. Boswell, engineer In charge of
the bridges.
According to tho original plan, the
stoneworA of the retaining wall is to
start from Salem avenue and extend
past Front street, where an abutment
will receive the bridge. On each side of
the retaining walls there is space of
ten feet outside the curb. This did not
admit of team making the tu,n to get
on Front street, and Mr.. Mcconnell
suggested that the abutmcnt be moved
back to tho south side of Front street
thus giving room for teams to pass
through from either side or from Rail-
road avenue.
This idea was discussed by the gentle
J men, and 1T was decided to put this plan
before all parties who are interested.
MIR. Watts thought this would be sat
lsfactory, and did not get out the in
| junction.
a meeting will be held shortly at the
Office of Mr.. Terry to decide the cues
tion All of the Interested parties will
be present, when terms will probably
be arrived at that will settle the CON
troversy, and work will proceed in a
few days.
MIR. Terry said yesterday to TIMES
reporter that $1,000 worth of business
was being done on Front street each
year. building this retaining wall
would seriously affect the trade now
carried on there, and render the locality
so lnconvenient that business would be
greatly damaged. He had placed the
matter in the hands of his lawyer with
instructions to act in the interest of the
parties making complaint.
MIR. Mcconnell said he was sure the
matter would be satisfactorily arranged.
The bridge committee had overlooked
the fact that Front street would be
| effected by the retaining wall, but
the moving of the abutment south the
width of the street the business mon,
he thought, would offer no objections
This, he said, would allow teams from
Railroad avenue and Salem avenue by
way of Henry street to pass into Front
street by going under the bridge
