!. SUFFOLK. Va, June 25.-In pursuance
of the intention to get new trial for
Andrew Carter Gilligazl, who was Sat
urday afternoon convicted of murder
in the second degree and given
eighteen years by an Isle of Wight
Jury. one of the prisoners lawyers was
ut court to-day ito press the motion.
Colonel r. H Boykin, States attorney.
was Ill and court was adjourned till
40 O'clock tomorrow morning without
action. Mr.. Holland was present for
the prosecution and MIR. Edwards for
the defence. The crowd was very
small.
Should Judge Atkinson overrule the
motion to set aside the verdict, an APP
peal will probably be taken 10 Circuit
Judge Prentis, OF Suffolk. 1t will take
many days for the completion of re-
cords.
NO FIRST DEGREE VERDICT.
In view of the likelihood of appeal
there was some discussion among out
SIDE lawyers as to whether the grade
OF punishment could be raised at the
second trial. Most OF the ATTORNEYS
here say that Gilugan can not now be
convicted OF first degree murder for
the shooting of c. Beverly Turner and
ne would have nothing to lose eXcept
cash and time by having a new trial.
me prisoner himself has no money,
but 1t is thought that the price of
an appeal can be easily raised. SO
much interest has the case excited.
several men and few ladies in diff
ferent parts of the State have offered
10 contribute something for n re-hear-
ing. Glilisan as is usual in cases of
dhls sort, has more sympathiZers
among the gentler sex, while Miss Tur-
ner seems more popular among men.
of course her feminine friends have
not deserted her, and the above pro-
positions are meant to apply where
neither Is personally known.
MISS TURNER'S SYMPArHIzDRs
Miss Turner told me the other day
mat she had gotten a great many mes
eageS OF sympathy for the conspicuous
part she was forced to take in this
Most sensational of trials. Many per-
sonS at distance, whom she knev
only slightly. have sent tender words
OIL encouragement, which helped ia
so1ten the temporary humiliation en-
rendered by the searchlight of puhlici

saturday afternoon Miss Turner and
ner mother. after they had shaken
hanus with few friends drove OFF tbn

rendered. ""S
