THE EASTMAN CASE.

There was an echo of famous case
in the Supreme Court at Wheeling, W.
Va, on Wednesday, one that is more
interesting than ever in legal way,
because of the escape from custody
few days ago of the surviving actor in
the tragedy that resulted in the death
of Frank Thompson in Tucker county.
Counsel for Col. Robert Eastman, the
alleged slayer of Thompson, argued the
petition for writ of error Wednesday
morning and submitted the matter to
the court, which will hardly find de-
Oision until late in the term.
When Eastman was sentenced last
winter to two years in the penitentiary
for the murder of Thompson, his law.
yers determined to carry the case to
the Supreme Court on q writ of error.
His sentence carried with it close con-
fnement, and they determined,if pos
sible, to reduce the penalty to the min
imum.
Notwithstanding the fact that East
ham made his escape from the Tucker
county Jail, the application for @ writ oil
error matured and Wednesday morning
came up Oh argument. Very elaborate
speeches were made by Attorney John
A. Howard for the defense, and Col.
John T. McGraw, for the State. At
the conclusion of the remarks of coun-
sci the matter was submitted. 1t is
said that the court will consider the
dismissal of the petition because OF the
fact Z lstham is fugitive from justice.
To lawers the point thus presented is
an interesting one, and the finding Of
the Court of Appeals will be received
with much interest.
Wednesday morning an attache of
the court stated that Eastman was with
Gen. Lees army, and in short time
would be with that corps engaged in an
active campaign against the Spaniards.
Should this be the case, it is not likely
the Tucker county man will ever be
again arraigned in the Thompson case.
