SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY WILL
GIVE \ BIG MAJORITY FOR
THE CONVENTION
fsnccinl 40 rhe NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Especial 10 The Virginian-Pilot)
Franklin. Va, May 21.-A large and
enthusiastic crowd of Democratic voters
was addressed in the court house at
CORTLAND to-day by State Senator w.
+. Barksdale. of Halifax. on the APP
preaching election on the Constitutional
Convention question. Owing to the
weather conditions. which We're specially
favorable 10 farming operations. the
crowd at court was comparatively
small, but nearly every voter seemed
anxious to hear the speaking and the
court house was filed. The enthusiasm
at some of the cllmaxes in Senator
Barksdale's speech was almost I'M
bounded. The speech was excellent
and has aroused interest here more
than anything during this campaign.
The negroes held q meeting on the
court house green and some exceeding
ly incendiary speeches were made by
them. but they served to arouse the
white people probably as much or more
than they did the negroes. The indica-
tions are that very good vote will be
nollcd in this county and that the
county will give at least one thousand
majority for the Constitutional Obnven-
ton.

Bagley. charged with arson, was ac-
quilted Saturday evening.
Bagley Is the Newport News negro,
who was charged with setting fire to
the house OF Louise SImms a week ago.
The Commonwealth was represented
by the Hon. L. E. Montague, while the
defense was conducted by Mr. l.. S.
Collier. of this city. and Mr.. e. w.
Robertson, of Newport News.
The main witness in the trial for the
prosecution We're Louise Simms. a col
ored man by the name of Mitchell and
many other negroes that live adjacent
TO the fired house.
Louise testified that she saw Bagley
at her windows between and 3 o'clock
OF the morning OF the blaze.
Mitchell testified that Bagley had
threatened to burn the whole block
for talking against him."
The defense produced q number OF re-
liable witnesses to prove Baglcy's good
character. The defense pleaded an alibi
and produced the old negro woman at
whose house Bagley roomed. who swore
that she opened the door for Raglev at
l o'clock, and as Il sufferer from asth-
ma she was awake the remainder of the
night, and that he did not leave the
house.
At 4 O'clock the argument was gone
into. and at $50 the counsel submitted
the case TO the jury. VINO. about !
o'clock. returned the verdict of mot
guilty" Since it could not be termed
an attempt at arson. the instructions
restricted the jury to one of two YER
dicts-acquiital or the death penalty.

POOR PEOPLE
Hear Cheering News.
Mrs. Whitner Told She's
an HeireSs.

Mrs. John Whltner, who resides near
Summit lake, recently received n let
ter which, If authentic, announces her
to be heiress to portion of S2S7, 900,
from the estate of her grandfather,
who recently died in Germany.
The letter is written in German,
and is from ali attorney in Berlin,
Germany, who has in charge the set.
tlement If the estate. According to
the letter, Mrs. Whitner is one of six
heirs, among whom the estate will
, shortly be divided.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitner are cautious
and do not place all faiths in the let
ter until the matter can be fully in
vcstigated, which will be done as soon
as possible.
Mr.. Whitner was recently injured
at the Columbia company three weeks
ago. His left leg was so badly crushed
between two saws that amputation
was necessary. He s, of course, dis
abled for life, so that It Is peculiarly
appropriate that the good fortune
should come to this family, as Mr..
Whitner depended on manual labor
for living. Whitner has been very
fortunate with his injured limb. The
amputation was performed less than
a month ago and he has already been
discharged from the care Of DR..
Davidson, of Barberton, who perform-
ed the operation.

CLASHED.
Dee'y's Bail Bond
Caused County Officials
Some Trouble.

There was a conflict of authority at
the court house Saturday morning. 1t
was brought about by the filing Of a
petition in error in connection with
the assault and battery case of the
State VS.. Patrick Deely.
In Police court Deely was sentenced
to 80 days Imprisonment in the Can
ton workhouse. He was to have been
taken away today, at noon. At II
o'clock Attorney Edward Claffey ap-
peared at the Court House with the
petition in error. He also had a
blank bond.
The court allowed him to file the
petition in error and fixed the bond
at 500. In a short time it was signed
by Mr.. Chas. Isbell. Mr.. Claffey then
asked that the prisoner be brought to
the Clerks office so that he could afIix
his signature to the bond. Meanwhile
the Mayor was In communication with
the Sheriff. He told that official not
to release Deely as he was to be taken
to Canton. Attorney Claffey insisted.
The Sheriff was determined, however,
not to make any mistake. He re-
fused to bring Deely over from the
Jail Mr.. Claffey then appealed to
Judge Kohler. His Honor thereupon
ordered the Sheriff to hold Deely I'M
til after dinner. Under no circum-
stances was he to allow Akron officers
to take him to the workhouse. At
2 o'clock Deely signed his bond and
was released.
