Judge prentls IIns no ru,rd 81 Z. Hugh
@. hiiler's Motion or a New Trim.
mud execution OF JUDI enien, rs;
Suspended Pending Appeal.

Judge Prentis. Of the Circuit Court,
has oyerruled the motion Of MFR. Hugh
G: Miller for new trial to Alex. Tate.
colored, who killed the negro Charlie
Malone last winter in Norfolk county.
Mr.. Miller, who now has MIR. P.J. Nor
ris associated With him in the case, will
now go to the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals of Virginia with his motion. He
and Mr.. Morris will fight to the last
ditch the verdict Of the Norfolk county
jury, which doomed Tate to death. If
the motion for a new trial should be
granted by the Court of Appeals, the
Governor will probably be appealed to
for q communication of Tate's sentence.
Judge Prenb.S' order in the; case has
not yet been entered, but the attorneys
have been advised of his decision. He
Will suspend the execution of Tate's
sentence until the higher court passes
upon the motion to be made. This court
does not meet until November, the
month in which Tate Is sentenced to
be hanged.
COLONEL CARR INTERESTED.
The Tate case is likely to become we'll
known over both Virginia and North
Carolina, because OF the extraordinary
efforts being made In his behalf. AS
has been published, Mr. Miller was en-
ployed in the case by Colonel Julian
/ carr, the famous durham TOBACCO
manufacturer and philanthropist, after
one attorney had applied in vain to
Judge Prentis for new trial. Tate
was employed by Colonel Carr year
or two ago.
NEW WITNESSES FOUND.
Mr.. Miller states that he has found
three new witnesses who will swear
that negro named Larkin. the chief
| witness against Tate In the trial be-
fore Judge Portlock, of the Norfolk
County Court, killed Malone himself in
q row over a game of crap.
In the trial every witness was strong
ly against Tate, all of them being
negroes well known as crap shooters.
An effort will be made If a new trial
is secured to show that Larkin killed
Malone. and then entered into q con-
| spiracy with the other negroes to ac-
cuse Tate. a newcomer from North
| Carolina. The killing occurred in a bar
| room near Portsmouth, but 1t is said
! that there were no witnesses except
participants in the game in n back
! room.
MIR. Miller's motion for new trial
before the Court of Appeals will be
based upon the technical ground that
the records do not show that Tate was
| brought into court when n motion for
a new trial was passed upon by Judge
| Portlock. ri

Russian Duties ON Imports.

The charge dafiaires at St. Petersburg,
Mr.. Peirce writes TO the State Department
that a report appears TO be current that
duties are to be exacted at an early date
upon merchandise coming into Vladivo-
stock and other Siberian ports on the Pa
citic Coast from foreign countries. An
American citizen who Is doing large
business in Siberia chiefly In American
goods. who has eleven warehouses in diff
ferent parts of the country east OF Irkutsk,
has written to the embassy al st. Peters
burg to inquire into the matter. Mr..
Peirce says that be has asked for infor-
nation on the question: from the imperial
minister of finance and has been assured
that, while il is the intention of the Rus
sian government to levy duties upon i'm
portations into Siberia through Pacific
ports at some future time, importers can
feel easy to any such action being taken
at an early date The matter is one Of
years not of months, and due notice will
be given before any such regulation goes
into effect.
