IT INTERFERED.
THEsUPRBMB COURT GRANTS MAR
ABLE A RB-RBARING.
CASE TO BE ARGUED IN NOVEMBER
THE SITUATION OF THE PRISONERS
WOMEN CHEERFUL.
Lunenburg Citizens Want Them Lynched


The Supreme Court of Appeals in
session at Staunton, on Monday, oct.
7, a writ of error and supersedeas TO
Solomon Marable, convicted in the
County Court of Lunenburg and SEN
fenced to hang September 20th, 1880.
He was reprieved by Governor O'Fer-
rail- until Oct %, 1895, and would have
in all probility have been executed at
that time, had not the Supreme Court
interferred.
WHEN THE CASE WILL BE HEARD.
As it is now, argument in the case
will be heard during the November
term of the court which will take
place In this city
Marable insists that the women are
innocent and declares that David
James Thompson committed the
crime with which himself and they
stood charged.
The points in Marable's petition
were with one exception essentially
the same as those on the petitions for
the women.
Mr.. VIM. l. Royal, who drew up the
petition for Marable made a most able
presentation of the point that Marable
had been convicted without due pro-
cess of law and consequently in vio-
-htion of the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States.
HOW MARABLE RECEIVED THE NEWS.
Editor Mitchell communicated the
information to the Jail. He had taken
photograph of Marable in the jail
ward gate as shown in the accompany
ing illustration.
Marable was delighted and prison
ers gathered around him enjoying
themselves by making remarks rela-
tive to those who had been taken II
the picture. When told that the Su
prene had granted him a re-hearinl
and that he would not hang on the
22nd inst, he displayed no emotion
IN fact did not stop looking at his pic
ture. His response was a mechanica
ives. sir'' and he received the re
marks on the photograph with a smile
1t is plainly evident that be had be
come thoroughly resigned to his fate
whatever it may be.
THE WOMEN CHEERFUL.
UPSTAIRS Mary Alternately and Poke
Barnes were found awaiting the edito
at the iron gate and greeted him wit
a.hearty hand-shake and a smile.
"Aunt Mary" wanted to know wheth
er or not he had heard any more fror
her son. Samuel and Pokey was de
sirous of having her child brought
her from Lunenburg, Co.
The editor agreed to defray the eS
pense of this if any one could be foun
in the neighborhood to come with it.
The women we're in good spirits, 40
made no complaints.
Marable had given the letter recei,
ed from his wife to one of the guard
and we secured it from Mr.. Claiborr
Epps. She was evidently much ag
= tafed and worried for she began 1T

he left for Fort Collins.
Governor Mcintyre was very much sur

incident at Greeley. He went TO the bicycle
races at Greeley Tuesday in ompany with
his wife and Lieutenant Governor Brush and
wife. When they arrived at the stand for
teams they found their way blocked By .

driven by Marshall. General Klee came up
at that moment and requested the nfkro 70
remove his wagon 20 as not 10 take up. too
much room. Thereupon Marshall delivered
a TRADE Of abuse. using the most foul ana
insulting language. Finally, however. ne
aid as requested. Governor Mcintyre thought
so little Of the matter thai he had not men
toned II 10 anybody since his return 10
Denver. General Kice said this afternocn
that Marshall deserved 10 be run out OF
town. but he thought the punishment In
nicted on him was entirely too severe.
Marshall served a term IN the pcniten-
tiary for highway robbery. Since his dis
charge he has been IN the employ OF the
Vansickel stables at Greeley.

DIR. Wiles, the medical officer in charge

had his doubts about the man ever being
insane. His Improvement was so rapid aft
er his arrival at the hospital as TO lead
to some suspicion.
Loomis's crime was the cold blooded muir
der OF a relative who was living on his
mothers farm, caring for the old lady.
The shot that killed him was sent through
a. window after night. Loomis said after

In the report that the counsel for .Durrant
had disagreed and that Duprey wbs max.
ing an excuse of his opportune illness TO get
out of the case. The most perfect harmony
exists between General Dickinson and Mr..
Duprey. In speaking OF the friendly feel
ing which exists between the attorneys,
General Dickinson said: "The defense has
tried this case fairly. ard II Is gratifying 10
know that there has been no vindictivo
spirit shown by any one OF the attorneys.
We have defended the accused 10 the best
of our ability, firmly believing in his inno-
cence from the start. The case of the de-
Tense will rest on the merits OF Its testi-
mony. A great many OF the iEa1tnE axtor-
neys have spoken to me about our action
In putting Durrant on the stand. We did
that in order TO give. the young man =
chance 10 tell his story in his own words.
The legal brethren have been disposed TO
~criticise us for permitting Durrsnt TO tell
the story OF the unknown man and OF his
going TO the ferry. The object In allowing
him to relate II in his own way was TO con-
vince the jury and the public that Durrant
was telling his own story and not repeat

that the young man was not coached
