Three Years in the MOnongaiia Jail-A

Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, December IA
David Musgrave will be released from
the county Jail Thursday morning after
an Imprisonment lasting for three
years. During the holidays three years
ago his wife Emiline was found dead
in a small stream near their home
and the suspicion of having been her
murderer was fastened upon him. He
was arrested, charged with the crime.
On the first trial he was convicted, OF
murder in the first degree with
recommendation for mercy from the
jury. In consequence he received life
sentence. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court three times and
each time the defense was successful
in their efforts. The last time that it
went up a new trial was granted and
a lot of the evidence which had been
the main stay of the prosecution was
knocked out. This shattered the hopes
of the State of getting a conviction,
and on the prisoner pleading involun-
tary manslaughter they accepted it and
compromised the case.
The judge took into consideration
the length of time that he had been
in Jail while all the fighting was going
on, and gave him six months imprison-
ment with fifty dollars fine.
Thursday his time is up, and he will
be free man. The case in which he
has been so vitality interested has been
one of the most notable lin the State.
Several new precedents have been es-
tablished and the DESPERATION with
which it was fought was also remark
able. A fortune has been spent by him
in the case and he goes out a ruined
man.
He has been a model prisoner, and
has had practical charge of the other
prisoners while in the JAIL looking
after them with great care and firm
ness.

Fifty Thousand Men Held in Readi-

Washington, D. c., December IA
AdJutant General Corbin appeared to-
day before the House Committee on
Military Affairs. His statements at
tracted unusual interest because OF
their direct reference 10 conditions in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
and the military requirements on
which the War Department was acting.
As TO the need OF an increased army,
General Corbin said that was a most
serious proposition.
As TO Cuba. he said it might ha
found that $4,000 men would be abso-
lutely requisite.
But We are holding $4,000 men in
readiness to so if required" said the
general.
AS TO the Philippines, he went on,
General Otis in command there, hal
recommended that $4,000 men were re-
quired there. In Porto Rico the officers
IN command there recommend that the
force now on hand is about adequate
for the requirements. The present
force there is 6,100. That made 81 900
men, $4,000 for Cuba, %, 200 for the
Philippines and about 5000 for Porto
Rico, leaving, with an army Of 10o, 200,
about $4,000 for reserves az home.
1T must be borne in mind" said Gen.
Corbin. that an army in time of peace
is like insurance. 1t is preparation for
an emergency. IF we had had such an
army last June there would have been no
such loss of life as occurred"
