sam Hall. the negro saloon keeper.
who shot and killed Private Alnnzo
Andrews, of company I. 16Oth Indiana
regiment. in Bloodfield, last week, will
be tried in the Corporation Court Of
this city.
The negro will probably be Indicted
by Il special grand jury when the Sep
TENDER term Of court convenes and
placed on trial for his life at once, 1t
is rot thought that Hall will be con-
vict"d of murder i'll the first degree.
as il seems that he shot the man in
the heat OF blood. and this
would reduce his crime to
murder in the second degree. which
is punishable by confinement in the
STATE penitentiary for 4 term not eN-
ce.ling eighteen years. To constitute
mur'ier in the first degree under the
laws of Virginia the prosecution must
prove beyond :; reasonable, doubt that
it was. murder by poisoning or by lying
in wait or. in other words. il must be
prcmct!tatcd murder. He will be
represented by Attorneys Il. S. Rob
insun and r. NJ. Lett.
Hall is still confined in the Norfolk
