The Manassas Trial.

MANASSAS, Va, Mar. Ben White
and Jim Robinson were brought here
on the $40 train this morning under
guard of the Alexandria Light Infantry,
Capt. Mushbach. White to stand his
second trial and Robinson to appeal for
a new trial. Court convened at 1910
and q guard of - men was placed
around the bar. Messrs. Greene and
Campbell, for the defense, made a mo-
ton that the County Court had no juris-
diction in the case as the offence had
been committed before the law allowing
a criminal to select the court he is to
be tried in had been passed. The mo-
ton was overruled as was also q motion
to quash the venire facias. Next a mo-
ton for a change of venue was made
and supported by affidavits of the
prisoners and of Capt. Mushbach and
Sergeant Marbury, the two latter testi-
flying as to the orders they had from
the Governor of Virginia to protect the
prisoners, their affidavits being taken
in open court. Another point that the
defense tried to bring out was as wheth-
er or not Messrs. Mushbach and Mar
bury had heard threats Of violence
against the counsel engaged in the
case. Capt. Mushbach stated emphati-
cally that he had not. Mr.. Marbury
stated that he had received a letter
from Hon. E. E. Meredith, to
which was appended a postscript to
the effect that the writer thought Mr..
Green had better modify his cross
examination the next time or there
might be trouble. Mr.. Campbell stated
that he believed a verdict of
twenty years would have the same
effect as hanging. The motion was
overruled and when this report closed
q motion for continuance to the April
term was being discussed.
LATERAL 4 o'clock the motion to
continue the case until the April term
had been overluled and the jury was be-
ing selected. There may be a night
session and it is evident that the case
will be s%tubbornly contested.
