writ Of error has been awarded by Judge
White as TO W. NJ Branch, one of the
alleged ynchers Of Lee puckeu, but as
t. the other hve the judgment Of the
county court has been sustained by the
Circuit Court. 1t IS probable that noli
proscqui will be entered as 20 Branch if
q new trial is awarded. bat vigorous
prosecution will be maintained as TO all
the rest.
j. ID. McMnion, Jr.. one Of the othr
five was tried az this term for the mu,-
der Of Bose Lewis, and was given eigh-
teen years In the peniteniiary When AZ
raigned for trial he had secured no coun-
sci. and w. IL. Gravely, r. j. Harvey
and 5 A. Thompson volunteered their
services in his behalf rather than see a
poor man prosecuted for capital offence
without any counsel
The general Coucensus OF opinion be
fore the trial was that he would be hung,
and the saving OF his neck under The cir
cumstances. Is regarded as a victory.
The prisoner seems satisfied, and no
appeal will be taken.
Several indictments were found az this
term % the court, but only ore of them
was tried. That was tho case of the
commonwealth VS.. John Thorpe for grand
larceny.
The defendant plead guilty and was
given three years In the penitentiary.
SO far there have been nine convlc-

IN 1899. and The total number Of years is
nfty-three.
