ALL CHARGES DISMISSED.
Judge Blizzard Completely Elonoratss Ms,
Atkinson and the Case Is Ended at Last,

The forgery case against Mrs.
Myra Atkinson, wife of Governor
Atkinson. has been dismissed,
Judge Blizzard at 1.-THE trial agreed
with the attorneys that he would
render his decision in chambers.
Accordingly Monday he wrote
Gen. @. @. Watts. the leading
attorney for Mrs. Atkinson, that
he sustained Watts motion to
quash the Indictment on the
ground that she was not charged
in the Indictment with intent to
defraud, and second, on the
ground that the principal who
was tried with her had been ac-
Quilted.
The whole prosecution from
the beginning has been conducted
by a dissatisfied heir to her form
er husband. This ends the mat
ter completely. Mrs. Atkinson
was charged with forging Judge
G. d. Camden's name to legal
papers, checks. after his death,
and ante-dating said papers to
make it appear that the transact
ion was done in his lifetime. Mrs.
Atkinson is the subject of con
CALCULATIONS from all her friends,
who rejoice that the matter IS
ended.

we should be, to grant the Clarks-

THE FIRST REGIMENT.
A Rather Startling State Of Affairs Re-
yealsd.

II has been the impression that
the First West Virginia Regi-
ment. volunteer Infantry, was
unanimous in its desire for
further service, and with this
idea before the public, there has
been a fear that the Second West
Virginia, which is anxious for
service, would not get much
chance.
From certain information re-
ceiyed it appears that the pri-
Yates and non.commissioned Of
acers of the First Regiment are
anxious to be mustered out, or,
at least, the majority of them are
II the source of this information
is correct. and there appears no
reason to doubt that it is not.
A private letter received at
Charleston from Camp Thomas,
dated the 18th inst, throws con-
siderable light on the situation,
and reveals a state of affairs not
before known to exist. For OBJ
yious reasons the name of the
writA,. of This letter is not given,
nor the recipient. Among other
statements, the writer has the
following to say:
Since hostilities have ceased,
tile First West Virginia Regi.
ment is very DESTROYS of being
mustered out of the service. Only
Yesterday the sentiment of the
regiment was shown when in
each company a petition was
signed by the non-commissioned
officers and privates resulting in
almost a unanimous vote relative
ito Belng mustered out. The Of
ticers, who are very anxious to
go and do garrison duty, stopped
the further proceedings of send
ing the petition, claiming it was
mutiny and sedition. at once
went and consulted a judge advo-
cate, and he said that there was
nothing in the petition whatever
pertaining to mutuny or sedition.
"For some little time the ex-
citement was intense with ill
feeling toward the officers.
''The majority of the privates
made a great sacrifice in coming
here, and feel that it is no more
than just that we be mustered
out, so that we may return to our
respective occupations, etc.
