ABOUT GILLIGAN'S NEW TRIAL.
The argument on q new trial for An
drew Carter Gilligan is due to be made
at Isle of Wight Courthouse next Mon
day. That is in pursuance 0f an adj
journment had last Tuesday after
noon, and Gilligan was kept down in
the Isle of Wight Jail pending that
event.
1t is not absolutely certain now that
Judge AtlSinsons final ruling will be
rendered Monday for two reasons: the
stenographer's notes may not have all
been transcribed, and Colonel Boyllin
may not be well enough.
Colonel Boykin tonight was getting
better. He is able to walk down to his
office. but has not nearly regained his
former strength. Colonel Boykin says
he will attend court Monday If he is
able. The very hard work and nervous
strain involved i'll representing the
Commonwealth at the very remarkable
trial almost brought on a collapse, and
caused him to open instead Of close the
argument.
