a similar relation to the exposition, and Is

a big business and claims that he can
handle more passengers than the Southern

lines to the park, and the Southern will
have two tracks out and four tracks at
the entrance. so that two trains can load
and two can unload at the same in

wAvERLY. VA, March s.-(special)-
The trial Of Robert Ridley fore killing
James Williams, which was begun in Sus.
sex County Court on Thursday last
was concluded to-day. A jury was OBJ.
tanned without difficulty, and the case
submitted to them late Friday after
noon. A verdict OF murder in the firs'
degree was returned In ten minutes. The
prisoners counsel made a motion for q
new trial, which was argued before Judge
West to-day, and overruled.
Several exceptions were fled to the
rulings OF the Court. The prisoner 4
counsel asked for time In which to ap-
ply to the Appellate Court for writ OF
error, whereupon Judge west deferred
the day of execution. and sentenced Rid
ley 10 be hanged July 18th next.

without signs OF emotion. The evidence
upon the trial was very much the same
as the account Of the killing heretofore
published in the Dispatch. Ridley's claim
that the shooting was accidental was un-
supported by any other witness in the
case.

ing that Ridley be forthwith taken 20 the
Jail OF the city OF Petersburg, there to
