SUFFOLK, VA, Oct. A.-Circuit Judge
Robert r. Prentls, sitting in chamber, to-
day overruled Andrew Carter Giligan S
motion for writ of error.
Gilligan is now represented by Coalter
& Wise, of No. 1103 Bank Street, Rich

There were several grounds on which the
petition for the writ was made, most of
than based on technicalities. Judge Prem
It's stated tonight that he found one seri-
Gus irregularity in the record, the manner
in whitt the verdict was returned, but
even that he did not deem of sufficient
consequence to grant writ Of error.
According to a statement from one of
Gilligan's attorneys made n September,
the case viii now be taken to the Supreme
Court. That is the prisoners last chance,
and an adverse ruling will dispose of the
celebrated trial finally, but if the writ be

HONOR TO AKRON.
columbus Press Post)

People who felt that the civilization
of the middle west suffered n severe
shock from the disgraceful Akron
riots last August are now greatly re-
assured by the summary justice
which has been dealt out by the
local courts to many of the rioters.
Judge Kohler ON Monday sentenced
two Of them to a years imprison.
ment each at hard labor and another
to thirty days in the workhouse. II
our memory serves us right, this
makes ten or q dozen convictions and
sentences imposed In these cases.
One individual who is in Jail charged
with attempting to brlbe witnesses
has twice tried to commit suicide.
evidently believing from the expert.
ence of other prisoners that justice
is not likely to be laggard in his case.
The promptness with which these
offenders have been made to pay the
penalty of their violence is In large
measure a vindication of the honor
of the State as we'll as of local jus,
tice. 1t is timely notice that riotng
will not be condoned or ignored by the
legal authorities of Ohio While the
riot itself was most deplorable event
the subsequent prosecution, convic-
tion and sentence of many of the
guilty parties almost atones for the
riot itself as an evidence of the dig,
nifty of the law in the enlightened
communities of this section. Akron
has a right to be proud Of her record
in this regard and the samples of
Akron justice thus far submitted de-
serve to be memoriallzed to other
communities which have been less
expeditions in bringing rioters under
the ban Of the law.

roll as 1t stood on June 30, 1900, was
S131 ,534, ,544, decrease of $685. in the
annual value Of the roll from the
year preceding. The decrease was
brought about mainly by the death
