THE CRAMBLETT CASE.
Still n Matter of Deep Interest in
Jefferson and Other Eeastern Ohio
Cnunfins

Counties.
Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, April "a
Although nearly three weeks have
passed since a jury found Quincy
Cramblett guilty of the murder Of
James H. Gosnell, the question does
not seem to have been settled to the
satisfaction of nineteenth Of the citi-
zens of this county. The public can
not understand how the jury reached
the conclusion it did, the evidence be-
ing purely circumstantial. The gen.
eral opinion is that the crime was
committed by another, but that re-
ward hunters patched together enough
circumstances and conversations to
make a case against Cramblett. The
outcome of the case has attracted at
tention in other counties in Eastern
Ohio. as people did not believe Cram
blett guilty, and attorneys who were
surprised at the verdict of guilty are
inquiring how it was done.
One juryman said he decided on the
mans guilt because of a matter the
Judge said should o be considered.
Another juryman says had he known
how the public felt he would have
brought in another kind of verdict.
Many leading lawyers at the bar
here when the State rested during the
trial told the defendants attorneys
that a case had not been made and
they need pot put on a witness.
Judge Mansfield is considering
whether to give a new trial. 1t is said
the Circuit Court can drive a wagon
through the evidence.

AbueVllle CitlZen,
The state Of Virginia is
now considering the matter
of disfranchising her litter.
ate blacks. The Richmond
correspondent Of the New
York Sun says: 1T is UNDER
stood that Senator Daniel
has drafted q measure which
will be on the line of exempt
ing from disfranchisement all
persons or the descendants
OF all persons who have serv-
ed their state in war. The
objectofthis would, of ofcourse,
be to take in all illiterate Con
federares and their descend
ants, while the provisions IN
der which it would be done
would be broad enough to
admit the vetel ans OF all
wars, white and black"
1t is said that Senator Dan
iel's idea is to avoid some OF
the alleged dangers OF the
North Carolina suffrage a
mendrent. II such is the
fact, we fail to nee where his
proposition will improve the
situate The North Caro-
lima plan ia invincible upless
the courts essay to consider
the intent of the measure.
Should this be done the Virgin
ia scheme does rot appear to
improve on that recently rat
fled by the people OF this
State. The object OF both is
70 disfranchise the ignorant
negro without touching the
illiterate white man. II the
courts will hold that q meas.
ure is void because they be-
liese it was intended to do
something prohibited by the
federal constitution, notwith
4 standing the fact thntit does
not do 80 in express terms,
then Senator Daniels propO-
sition would 60 down with
ours.
But it is contrary to com.
mon sense to suppose that
any court would assume to
take such o position as this.
Courts do not consider in
tents. They must pass upon
measures in accordance with
what they say.
