THE APPOMATTOx TRAGEDY.
The Slayer of Mrs. Marshall Taken
to I,ynchburc Jail.

LYNCHBURG, VA, March 23.-(Spe-
cial)-Emmett Marshall, who in fit OF
anger shot and killed his sister-in-law,
Mrs. w. b. Marshall, and wounded his
brother, Douglas, is now in Jail here.
As will be remembered, directly after the
tragedy he was taken 10 Appomattox
Courthouse and incarcerated there. At
ter making an unsuccessful effort TO
knock his brains out by dashng his head
against the side of the CELL he relapsed
into a quiet state, and 50 continues.
Naturally a reticent man, he is not now
talkative, although he has since ex-
pressed deep contrition for what he has
done, and said If he could call back the
past he would not have killed his sister
in-law for worlds.
At noon to-day he was taken before
Justice j. Il. Lee at AppOmattOX Court
house, but his counsel, Mr. j. p l.. Flesh
man, waving an examination, he was
committed to Jail to await the action or
the grand jury. As there had been some
talk among the indignant citizens re-
garding the punishment which they
thought ought to be melted out to him.
and as the cells I'm AppomattoX Jail are
all on the ground floor and accessible
from the outside, il was deemed best 10 !
remove him here until the 9TH Of April. |
when the grand jury will meet. He was |
brought to this city on the afternoon train |
by Sheriff Coleman and Justice Lee, ana |
Is now securely locked up.
The Dispatch correspondent saw the |
prisoner soon after he was brought here.
He was roughly dressed having been |
hunting just before he killed Mrs. Mar
shall, and not having changed his cloth
ing since. His head was swathed In
to protect the wounds made |
when he battered it against the walls or
the cell. He was seated on an old mat
tress with his face in his hands, looking
the picture of despair. When addressed
he raised his face, and il was seen then
that he has a long, brown beard and
and intelligent countenance.
He is of medium height, slightly built,
and his hands show that he has not
been used 10 hard work.
