A CRAZY MAN.
Comes from Russell County. and says ne
has Killed u Man.

A man who gave his nameas Tom Sher-
roll attracted considerable attention on
the streets Tuesday by his queer and &C.
centric ways. He seemed to be possessed
with the idea that some one was trying to
kill him, and was constantly pointing oul
to persons who passed him sn imaginary
mob, that he said was trying to hang him
Tuesday night Mr.. J. c. Maynor WAS sur
prised by the fellow approaching him and
telling him that he wanted 20 give him-
sclfup.
"What do you want to give up for 2"
said Mr.. Maynor.
"For killing man il, Russell county,
was the answer.
Mr. Maynor became interested and sue
ceeded in drawing the fellows story from
{ him.
On Saturday, the Sth of January, one
John Breeding was shot and killed at
Dumps Creek, in Russell county, Va.
Sherroll said that he was implicated in the
shooting with aman named Grizzle and
Grizzlies two sons.

shooting" said Sherrol.

TAFT Halls TRIAL.
Sext Thursday is The day set for 1t to
Commence.

Next Thursday the Goth instant is the
day set for the tria! of TAFT Hall, the no
torious Desperate, now confined i'll jail at
Wise c.. H. I seems to be the general
impression that the trial will certainly
come off according to theprogramme.
The Commemorative attorney says he
is ready and Hall gives it out that he is
ready and anxious for trial. To those
who have talked to him lately he seems
cheerful and chatty He expresses him
self as confident that he will be acquitted
on the ground Of self-defense, but lie will
have to develop facts that no one else has
heard Of to establish this defense. There
seems to be but little doubt in the public
mind that he will pull hemp and that by
due course Of law. The best citizens in
the county express determination to see
that he has fair trial and that the YER
dict of the jury, whatever it may lie, shall
be executed.
Superintendent Taggart, of the Virgin
III Coal & Iron Co. was in Halls cell one
lav this week and says that Hall talked
freely with him. He told Mr.. raggart
that il would only he Il matter of thirty
minutes for him to make his escape were
it not for the hand cuffs which adorned
his wrists. He dnes not seem to he fond
Of jewclry and would evidently like to be
relieved of his beautiful bracelets.
A dispatch from Wise c. H. to the
Bristol Courier Of the 2lst instant says:
''l'alt Hall came very near escaping Jail
here by burning through the floor Of the
cell. Fortunately fine vigilance of The
guards frustrated his plans and q closer
watch is kept over him than ever. 1t
seems now that his only hope of escaping
pulling hemp is breaking jail. and under
the circumstances his chances Of break
ing Jail are very meagre. His guards are
yigilant and seem determined to see that
he pays the penalty Of his crimes
The Posr will have a special corrcspon-
dent at the trial and full report Of lie
proceedings will be published in this pa
