MASON wIGGINS' CASE.


The case OF Mason Virgins, the col.
ored man WHO drove over Officer Cross
on Christmas eve, cutting his head and
dislocntinG q finger and upon whom n
pistol was found when searched at the
police station, which case has been un-
der ndvisement by Justice Burroughs,
was disposed of yesterday. Three
charges We're entered against Wig
gins. viz: AssaultinG the officer by
driving over him, reckless driving and
carrying concealed weapon. Mr. Iu-
Illus r. Saunders represented the nc
cused and the defense set up for the
prisoner has previously been published
in The Virgnian. Justice Burroughs
yesterday dismissed the charge of carry
ing a concealed weapon and RENTED the
$22. 25 previously imposed, II having been
'o''e, tr"t.trn 'acr"ccd was innocent
as to his intentions with the pisto which
he was taking to be repaired. The
charge OF criminal assault was also dis
missed. a fine of $40 and costs, however,
was imposed for reckless driving. His
Honor took occasion to say to the nttor-
ney that he would be glad to see the case
appealed that the law point of contri-
butory negligence on the part Of the
officer, which Mr.. Saunders had raised,
and how far it tended TO mitigate the
punishment under a criminal warrant.
as it does to recover under civil ac-
ton, might be further gone into and
passed upon. The attorney noted an
appeal, but afterward withdrew IT, his
client paying the fine. AS soon as the
case was disposed of Officer Cross took
out another warrant against Virgins
for violating the city ordinance relat,
ing to immoderate driving through the
streets. This latter warrant is returna>
