WRIGHT is NOW FREE
He Is Finally Cleared OF the Charge Of
Having Murdered Tom Briggs.
AlIvELY TILT BETWEEN THE LAWYERS
Ii Was Caused by Ono of tho Attor.

sci for Defense with Having Sam.
percd With u wItness-The Jury
Was out About An Hour.

The Corporation Court was engaged all
day yesterday, from 1880 a. M. TO p. nr>
in the second trial of William Wright
for the murder of Tom Briggs. The
readers OF The Vinginian will remember
that William Wright, the accused. was
arrested on February IL last. charged
with killing Tom Briggs in Kings lane.
this city. by striking him on the head
twice with spade, Featuring his skull
with one blow and tearing away the
scalp with the second. The accused
was found guilty before the Police Court
and sent on TO the grand jury. which
body found a true bill against him. He
was arra!gned for trial about three
months ago. and Commonwealth Attor-
ney Baum was assisted in the prose-
cution by John G.. Tilton. who had been
retained by the friends OF the deceased
10 assist In the prosecution. Attorney
Julius L. Saunders conducted the de-
Tense alone. and on the first trial Sc
cured verdict of voluntary manslaugh-

Many friends of the accused thought
this light sentence. but the attorney
Tor the prisoner moved for q new trial
and secured the same upon errors made
by the Court IN refusing certain instruc-
;!ons asked by him. The cross exam
ination was long and tedious. occupy
Ing the entire morning session. At the
close OF the evidence, about 2:30 p M,
the jury asked permission to visit the
premises where the difficulty occurred,
and they were adjourned under custody
OF the Sheriff, and went there followed
by morbid crowd OF spectators.
At p. m. Commonwealth Attorney
Baum opened for the prosecution de-
failing the evidence clearly and logically
IN short but strong argument Mr..
Saunders then spoke for the defense
His argument occupied about ~ hours.
and he covered every point in the case.
He was especially bitter upon Mr.. TIL
ton. TO whom he alluded as the Ajax
of the prosecution" and who had sought
under cover of the court to intimate
that he (Saunders) had tempered with
n witness, namely, Willie Briggs the
brother of the deceased. This attack
Saunders characterized as unfounded
and unwarranted. as we'll as unprofes-
sional. The reply OF Mr.. Tilton was
severe and bitter. He alluded to the
fact that one of the witnesses, name
~, Willie Briggs, had visited Mr.. Saun--
ders' office. Saunders heatedly inter-
rupted him for an explanation, but
Judge Hanckel ruled that counsel must
not be interrupted. Mr.. TlIton spoke
for about one hour and thirty minutes.
The jury took the case at about $50
O'Clock. and after being out about an
hour. brought in a verdict of not guilty.
The prisoner was warmly congratulated
by his colored friends as he left the
courtroom. 1t is regarded as quite n
victory for the defense, as the prisoner
mad few friends, and 1t was expected
That the prosecution would give Wright
at least short term in the penten,ary.

n GOOD MOVE.

see by The Virginian that Messrs. Ru-
,dolphi i Wallace will close their place of
business from now until July 5th. at
O'Clock p. M, ana after that date ut c
o'clock y. m. This bold and liberal step
by this firm puts them out of the narrow
and penurious rut of what has heretofore
characterized early closing movements
such as going from door to door with n
petition for the signatures OF merchants
and some better known store keepers
and without the unit rule-the desired
hour for closing was n failure. What Il
clustering shame to many of our intelli-
gent merchants that these conditions
exist, and have to be influenced by IL
class of storekeepers who do not know
the first rudlments of business.
SG We say all "Hail" to Rudolph & Wal
lace, and to all merchants that have the
strength to rise above petty narrowness
and the back numbers that exist In this
community, and at this enlightened age.
