men hive said be is guilty OF murder ia
the fret degree, and there is no doubt rest
on the minds of the law-ahiding citizens
of this county that he shouldsnow pay the
full penalty Of his crime. A policeman
was shot down while in the discharge OF
his duty and the doer OF that deed de-
serves nothing at the hands Of the law but
death. There are many delays necessary
before the execution can take place. The
prisoner is entitled to appeal his cause to
the Circuit Court and if the decision il
not there reversed to take it mp to the Su-
preme Court Of Appeals. These delays are
necessary upon the proper discharge OF
the laws Of this Commonwealth, and the
people Of the county should not atlow
themselves to be aroused into an act OF
violence owing to such delays.
1t is possible. though We do not think
it probable, that on account Of some tech
meal flaw in the proceedings in the lower
Court one of the higher Courts may deem
it proper to send the case back to a jury
again. IF such is the case the people of
this county should await patiently, despite
the CALLING delays, until Halls day of re-
tribution comes. Let the calm majesty
Of the law assert itself and the example
of Halls fate will be far more terrible to
other weuld-bc evil doors. than would any
execution at the hands of a wld'mob. Let it
not be said that the good people of Wise
county permitted one crime to be commit
ted to punish another.
Talt Hall is sure to pay the death PEN
atty, and it should be paid in the legally
constituted manner.

Airy Tongues.

Bristol seems to abound in newspaper
thieves. wonder that the Courier has not
exposed some of these fellows before. In the
last few days have noticed two instances of
this tendency to appropriate that which be-
longs to another to their own use on the part
Of the newspaper mcr of Bristol. In one Of
the Lynchburg papers-probably the News
noticed an article purporting to be special
from Bristol, large part Of which had been
taken bodily from the P0sT. The writer who
thus appropriates that which another has writ
ten without giving any credit, is guilty Of lar
ceny, and should be punished BY having the,
contempt of all his fcllow-workers in the news
paper field heapcd upon him.
In the Bristol News of Tie 5th instant APP
peared description of, and an interview with
John Wright, the widely-known kentuckian,
which was taken from the Posi- even to the
headlines. Yet there was not a scmblancc of
credit-linc, and the reader was led to believe
that it was a piece Of original work done Tor
the News. doubt very much, however, if
many of the regular readers OF the News did
believe that this was the case, so accustomed
have they become to this kind OF business ON
the part of this journal.
" Wise county has fine array Of lawyers.
Her bar is equal to that any county in South
west Virginia. was struck with this fact
while attending the trial ofTalt Hall last week
The leading counsel on each side of this cele-
brated case were Judge G. 7. Duncan for the
prosecution, and Col. j. B. Richmond for the
defense Both arc well-trained lawyers ofcon-
siderable ability. Col Richmond is an cx-
Congressman and is now counsel for the S. a.
& o. railroad. lie is vigorous lawyer and
manages bad case with good deal OF ingc-
nuty.
lHe was assisted in the Hall case by his son
II. c. L. Richmond n young. man Of promise,
bv ]. D. Carter who has in him the making OF
a good barrister, and by O. NJ. Wears, who is
a bright young lawyer. 1t is interesting to-
watch Che hating steps of these young limbs
Of the law in their first attempts at forensic
oratory. Richmond strikes ont boldly and
speaks in high key, as ifhe were trying to
knock the top off the court -house. Garter is
rather timid at first but soon imprcsses Que
with the fact that he has within him the eic=
ments that make good lawyer. Then there
is Wears the older of the young fellows, who
lis evidently much impressed with his own i'm

portance, ana! tries to make the same impress
sion upon the spectators by long windedness,
His style of speaking is very much that Of an
old time backwoods preacher, andas hespesks,
one is principally impressed With the iengthof
his arms. Despite all this, however, have
no doubt that he win be successful attorney.
Judge Duncan, the senior counsel for the
prosecution, is one Of the finest lawyers in
Southwest Virginia. and is the best iurist I
have heard in many days. AS eross-exarn=
liner, he is among the foremost, 'and his mind
seems to be well stocked with legal lore. Ile.6
