MORGAN Is CONVICTED.
THE STA UNION NEGRO SENT TO THE
PENITEyTIARY FOR ~ YEARS
He Attempted = Criminal Assault on
White Girl -Four Years Old-No Scare
Over the SMALLPOX Now.

STAJ-NTON, VA, May Especial
John Morgan was to-day found guilty
OF attempted criminal assault on little
white girl. and sentenced TO twelve years
in the State penitentiary. Morgans youth
and want Of intelligence saved him rom
a longer term. Morgan is british negro
about sixteen years old. and about year
ago was taken from the pcor-nouse by
Mr. Rhodes to work on his farm.
He does not seem to be very bright, and
his appearance is revolving under the cir
Gun stances. 1t has been remarked as
strange that he should nave had the OPP
pOriunity for his villainous crime within
call of the mother of the child.
THE LITTLE VICTIM.
Amy Rhodes. the victim. will be only
four years old the Goth of May. She Is a
pretty little child, and her appearance
with her mother in the courthouse ex-
cited the greatest Indignation against the
negro with the spectators.
Senator Echols managed the case Tor
Morgan splendidly. and certainly saved
the neck of the negro by his skill in
handling it. The jury was unanimous as
TO the guilt OF Morgan from the first, ana
IL was orly a question OF the term OF
imprisonment.
Our people have been so impressed with
and the speedy termination In all such
cases that there has rot been at any
time any excitement.
JUDGE CHALKLEY's EXAMPLE.
In bringing about this happy condition
of the public mind on such trying occa-
sions, Judge Chalkley has set an example
TO be followed by the State and through
out the South. Let the Legislature change
the law as to the calling of a grand jury
and all will be well done.
SMALLPOX SCARE QUIETED DOWN.
