THE WELSH SHOOTING.
Officer Meyer Angle. Of Henrico. has
been investigating the shooting Of Mr..
John welsh. of Fulton. on Monday night,
and the officer Is of the opinion that
young Welsh accidentally shot himself
through the leg while handling a re-
volver.
According TO Omcer Angles theory
there seems 10 be sequel 10 the story
which was reported 10 the effect tnat
while returning from a serenading trip
through the leg by some unknown party
and that the young mans trousers were
burned By the powder from the weapon.
officer Angle stated yesterday that he
learned that Mr.. Welsh became
angry with Mr. Colly Woolford
for some remark which the lat
ter was reported 20 have made about
a lady who IS said TO be nearer than an
ordinary acquaintance TO him. and that
Mr. Welsh went 10 look for Mr.. Wool
ford 10 demand an explanation or an
apology and incidentally had a revolver
with him
officer Angle stated that according 70
his investigations Welsh went 20 Wool
ford's home but could not find him there,
ana that he afterwards decided 10 go out
screnading. and when coming back, after
having been drinking a little, he COM
menced 10 handle the revolver which was
in some way discharged. and the bullet
went through the young mans leg Of
fcer Angle added that the fact that the
young mans trousers were burned by
the powder together with the direction
that the bullet took. were arguments in
favor of this view OF the case. Such
were the results Of the officers investi-
cations
DON'T LIKE THE VERDICT.
The Henrico County Court adjourned
for the term yesterday. There were no
cases tried. Samuel +. Ford Jr., who was
convicted of criminal assault upon the
0ve-year-Old daughter Of "a Well-knOwn
citizen. was sentenced by Judge Wick
ham TO three years I'm the penitntiary.
IL IS understood that the evidence against
Ford was quite strong, and that the
child's testimony was damaging 10 the
prisoner. The jury. which gave him only
three years. are being plainly criticised
by citizens who claim that Ford ought
either to have been acquitted or given
"a life imprisonment In the penteniiary
or hung.
The next term OF the court will COM
mence on the second Monday IN Febru-
arv. The Carter trial will come up at
this term Of the court for the third trial.
