Governor Tyler and party returned from

The Governor is highly delighted Win

Governor Tyler says the President was
warm in his praise OF the Virginia soldiers
and that he was lavish in his compliments
of Colonel Anderson.
There came near being serious acct
dent at the depot just before the Cover

the coupling the tram backed INTO
the private car of President Williams.

FLEMING'S NEW TRIAL.
Tho Princess Anne Jury Failed to
Obey II Mandatory Statute,
Special Dispatch to The Times.)


SUFFOLK, VA, Dec. 13.-Orville I.
| Fleming. a justice of the peace in Prin-
cess Anne county, Va, now in Jail with q
| jury's verdict Of fourteen years in States
| prison hanging over him, is to have new
| trial. That was determined this afternoon
| by ruling of Circuit Judge Robert r.
| Prentiss setting aside the verdict of the
! jury.
Counsel for Fleming alleged several rea-
sons why their client should have a new
| trial. but Judge Prentiss only considered
! one ground, to-wit: That the trial jury,
| in its verdict, failed to obey a mandatory
! statute requiring juries to fix the degree
| OF murder in their verdicts. The Fleming
F.! jury simply found the prisoner guilty as
| charged and fixed his punishment a four
| teen years imprisonment
| Judge Prentiss based his decision on sec
| ton NJ. tli1 OF the Code, which reads like
! this:
IF person indicted of murder be found
by the jury guilty thereof, they shall, in
| their verdict find whether he is guilty of
| murder in the first or second degree
The Judge, sitting in chambers, con-
strued this TO be mandatory by an I'M
broken line of authority. The other
grounds most of them technical, too, were
; not considered by the court.
Now that Fleming will have a new trial
his counsel will contend that his life can
not again be placed in Jeopardy, and that
he cannot be tried for a srayer offense
than that Of which he was convicted by
the last jury. That proposition may be
opposed Gilisan's lawyers will have TO
meet the same argument should he be
given a new trial by the Supreme Court
The Fleming case was argued by George
Mcintosh and r. A. Williams for the
prisoner. and by 2. j. Norris II. X. Wal
colt and ~ j. Ackiss for the State All
of them have offices in Norfolk but Aclkiss
is States counsel for Princess Anne coun-
ty. The case will now be remanded back
TO Princes Anne county and take its place
on the docket.
Justice Fleming was accused OF shoot
ing to death sixteen-year-old Clarence
Snyder. Of Norfolk, in November of last
year. SNYDER was hunting on Fleminss
farm when he met his death Fleming
claimed once that the fatal charge was
meant for bird. There was also an at
tempt in court 10 prove an aIibi, and this
was perhaps his principal defense. The
first trial last February could not agree,
but the March jury thought fourteen
years would be about right.
The case caused much excitement in
Norfolk and vicinity. Fleming was threat
ened by MOB ana later Killed a tramp,
who was supposed to have come to his
home on a friendly errand, but whose mis-
sion was mistaken by Fleming, who shot
him dead
A bill of exceptions in the Poole $3.50
