THE MUSGRAVE CASE.
The Syllabus of the Supreme
Court giving the Prisoner
a new Trial.

Where the Court erred in its Instruc-
tions to the -Cireumstantial
Versus direct characterization
which should not have been Rejected
Opinions of Witnesses should not be
Received-They must state facts and
not draw observation-disclosures and
Their testimony Sometimes not Ad-
missable-lilegai evidence and its ef-
feet on the Application for a new
Triai
Below We take pleasure in giving
our readers the syllabus of the SUI
preme court in the celebrated Mus
grave case. This case is probably
the most noted ever tried in this
county and mas attracted more at
tention from our citizens than any
other to be tried for long term of
years. Therefore the grounds taken
by the court for grantinga new trial
will be read with great interest The
syllabus is taken from advance
proof sheets Of The Bar. The law
yers here who are interested on one
side of the case or other have been
unable to get the paper until now
and this is the first time it has ap-
peared in the city.
The decision makes the outlook
for Musgrave very much brighter
than 1t was at the beginning of his
first trial. Much of the evidence
which was then given against him
will not be given again for the rea
son that it will be impossible to get
the witnesses back here for the pur-
pose. In addition it rules out
mass of testimony and takes away
from more OF it the weight which it
had formerly. 1t also bears out the
assertions of Judge johnson on the
case and why it should be reversed.
The points covered are nine in
number and they cover the ground
in .very comprehensive manner.
The State will be at very great
disadvantage in undertaking the
case and will not succeed in getting
very strong verdict against the
accused oa the trial which will not
be held until the June term of court
The syllabus is as follows:

Miss Matte Ewing of Pittsburg, Eiopes

Young Lady Visited Here
Last Summer

--~~~~ <.----@.
Miss Matte Ewing who Is we'll
known here having visited here for a
month or more last summer figured
in sensational elopemcnt at Pitts
burg few days ago. She ran off
with and was married to Robert
Carson who is young millionaire of
that city. The young people were
not members of the same sets and
were not more than acquaintance.
No,'one thought they were going toget
married and it is not likely that they
had paid much attention to the sub
ject themselves. They met on the
street and after a few minutes of
conversation he proposed they elope.
The young lady at once consented
and they were married. They have
gone to New York and the east Tor

FAIRM0NT POLITICS.
Three Tickets Already in the Field
Comments From the Seat of War.

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Jal. 2l.-Lo-
cal politics is proving enough of a
problem for most Fairmont men.
Although the town election does not
take place until March 10, the fight
was duly opened Tuesday afternoon
by the Temperance people, whose cam
paign will be conducted by the ladies.
Their ticket will be headed by E. G..
Frame for mayor, and will be com
posed of E. z. Kelley for recorder and
Emery Watkins, Eli Musgraye, VIII
Arnett, w. G. Jamison and /. n.
Hough, for council. This ticket
will likely be put in the field with
one change, as it is said Mr.. Tough
will not make the race. The ladies
met at the peoples temple the other
afternoon and the town officials,
county officials and other persons
were discussed. Their action in re-
gard to the houses of iI-fanie was the
subject of comment and it even went
further till speeches were made on
the evils of burlesque shows and the
indecency Of Leugh's calander. This
is the reason Mr.. Lough's withdrawal
is expected.

Republican Rockville lawyers and pol

that If Lawyer J. H. Reed of Stafford

sentative and was elected, he would be a
strong candidate for speaker of the house.
He is state attorney for Tolland county,
and would have the support of Tolland
county and probably the eastern part of
