CHESTER The Lantern, Novem.
ber 10: Mr.. w. L. Mcdonald, of Char
lotte, was in the city yesterday. .'''''.''
VIM. A. Barber, Esq, and little daugh-
ter Julia left last night for their home
in New York. .'..''The jury on the case
against Sam'l. w. Reep, for the muir.
der of his wife, after remaining out
most of yesterday and all of last night,
brought in verdict of guilty this morn
ing with a recommendation to mercy.
We understand that the jury stood
from the first II for conviction to l for
acquittal. Finally, this morning, the
one agreed to render a verdict of gull
ty with a recommendation to mercy,
and the II yielded to that extent.
Mr.. Reep was sentenced to the penl'
Tertiary for life. He was visibly afec-
ted when Judge Buchanan asked him
if he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed. He made
no statement except that he was not
guilty, only he wrote the letter. This
is understood to mean the letter pur-
porting to be the one written by Mrs.
Reep before her alleged suicide; but
which the state charged that Reep
himself wrote. This is virtual con.
fession. Some, however, understood
him to refer to a letter written to
girl while in Jail.
