still own the estate in which the murder
was committed.
The Governor offered a reward of one
hundred pounds for his arrest, and he
was captured in the mountains of yir-
ginia fnow West Virginia).
He was bropgllt back to Cumberland
county and tried by Marshall Booker
(Gentlenan Justice), and by him sent
on TO the County court. and from there
to the District court of Prince Edward.
Some years since, with the aid of the
late Major II. r. Hooper. who was at
the time clerk of Prince Edward county.
I found the names of the jury, but they
have been lost and, therefore, I cannot
give the names.
The jury found him guilty of murder
and ascertained his punishment at five
years in the State penitentiary. The
records showed that he was ordered to
be held in Jail of the county for few
days. when the penitentiary house would
be completed and ready for reception.
So on the second day of January, 1900,
Thomas Merryman, of Cumberland coun-
ty. was registered at tles4State penitcn-
tiary, and thus ended the trial of one Of
the most brutal murders ever committed
in Virginia.
