FDANAGAN-PIL TRAGEDY
A well-known and prominent gentle
man from Prince Edward county. in
talking over the Flanagan-P nklnton
ARRAY, said there was good deal more
in the case than had ever been report
ed in the newspapers The gentleman
said that n vast amount of cv idencc
had been collected. and was already in
the hands OF Judge Watkins who Will
act as prosecuting attorney.
There is no doubt, the gentleman
said, that Mr.. Flanagan had struck
Mr.. Pllkinton before ne was shot. but
that the actual cause of the assault was
known to but few Mr.. Flanagan had
just completed an Indictment against
Pilkinton, ana had put down the names
of the two Witnesses, when a state
Inent attributed to Pilkinton reached
his ears, and he at once went 10 him
and struck him.
The case will undoubtedly be tried in
Powhatan first; at least, an effort will
be made to have It heard there.
