In the meantime, the county court
of Lunenburg would adjourn for the
term Saturday, Nov. %, 1895 and is
would be useless to convey the pris On
ers thereto unless they could reach
there by that time. 1t was the inten-
tion Of the counsel to delay il until
too late. for Sheriff Cardoza to carry
them back by that time.
It was then that Sheriff Cardoza ap-
piled to the Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia Tor q writ of mandamus,
which the court denied. Judge John
A. Buchanan delivering the opinion.
The court was unanimous A motion
was made for the enlargement Of the
writ OF error to retain the prisoners in
the custody OF the City Sergeant of
Richmond until their cases were de-
termined by the Supreme Court of
Appeals. This was granted and took
effect within three hours after the dis
solving of the writ OF babe IS corpus
by Judge Wexford.

On Sept 7th, 1898, he met Samuel
q. Thalhimer, a Hebrew. whom he al
legged had gotten his daughter, Ida
May in a delicate condition and cut
him fourteen times. After walking a
block the injured man fell weltering
in his blood
WINNER was bailed and on Nov.
l9th, a jury OF white men from this
city and Norfolk, declared him mot
guilty" and he walked forth a free
man.
Not until Sunday, Nov 29th did he
take to his bed On Monday his daugh-
ter became the mother OF a dead baby
boy. On Tuesday. WINNER was a
corpse himself. Speaking of his i'll
ness the TIMES says:
In spite OF every care, the patient
rapidly grew worse, soon became deli
rious His rawlings are said TO have
been pitiful He often imagined that
some one was in the room who wished
10 do him bodily harm, and attempted
to throw things at his attendants.
About 8 O'Clock on Tuesday evening
Mrs. WINNER went over 10 neigh
boris house and said that she thought
Jim" was worse. The lady of the
house accompanied her home. and saw
st glance that death was very near
to the emaciated man tossing to and
fro on mis- couch.
You had better send for some one 4"
she said.
Mrs WINNER rushed into the street
screaming loudly, but.becoming more
composed returned TO the sics room.
AS she entered the door the dying man
fell heavily back. There were two or
three gasps. the dreaded death-rattle
rang through the little room, and all
was over-the unfortunate man had
gone before his Maker TO answer for
the deeds done in the flesh.

THOSE TWO FORCE

There were two forces at work, one
was exercising itself upon Gov. O'Fer-
rail- and the other was doing the same
upon Judge B r. Wexford.
1t was during the hours of a Satur-
day night, Nov. 9th, 1895, that these
appeals were made
Sheriff M. g. Cardoza was in the city
and boasted that he would remove the
prisoners to Lunenburg County. He
declared that he would not ask for
troops to guard the prisoners, and the
Governor was equally emphatic in his
decision that the prisoners should not
leave the city WITHOUT such protection.
The Governor instructed City Ser
gent Epps not to deliver the prisoners
to the Sheriff of Lunenburg until he
lGovernorl had heard from Judge Or
gain of the County Court, to whom he
had addressed a special communica-
tiOn asking for the resembling Of the
order.
This, it was claimed was unusual,
but, His Excellency upon the advice of
the Attorney General was carrying out
the broad guarantees Of the Constitu-
tion of Virginia. de was protecting
the lives of citizens of Virginia
Lawyers doubted whether such an
order would stand the test of the
courts. While it Rnsw cred the pur-
pose, temporarily, it was found that il
would not be sustained.
1t was then that the writ of habeas
corpus. issued by Judge Wellford at
the same time on Nov. 9th. 1895 and
without the knowledge that the Gov
ernor had sent the order referred to,
held and stood the test of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals of Virginia.
THE SUPREME COURTS DECISION.
This august tribunal stated that a.
appeal from Judge WellfOrd's rulings
wes the proper course and not by q
writ of mandamus and limited that up
on such an appeal His Honor would
not be sustained No one knew this
better than Judge Wexford, and the
attorneys making the plea.

less women, whom he believed to be
innocent. He had been advised that
in the county OF Lunenburg were arm.
ed bodies of men with ropes and the
determination to torture and executC
them.
To deny the writ was to cOnsigr
them to death. 1t was a question in.
volving the life of citizen and the on.
ly thing he could do was TO postpone
action from dag to day, until counse
for the prisoners could find some otnel
power to take upon itself the strain.
The granting CT this writ of habea
corpus in a case of this sort was on
of the most remarkable things in tn,
