A VIRGINIA ROMANCE.-The an
nouncement made yesterday from the
Governors office that Cnnnslly Fields
could return to Virginia with the dis
grace attached to the crime of murder
removed from bis name, has brought to
light a romatic stosy, in which man
sacrificed all to save his wife. 10 1854
Fields was respected farmer Of Scott
county. His wife's brother, W. A
Scott, whose reputation was rot OF thu
best, had given him considerable trou'
BILE and 6nslly Fields forbade him to
come OF bis place.
One day Scott disregarded the order,
fist fight followed, and Fields was
beaten. His wife rushed to bis assist
snce and stabbed her brother to the
heart with q pair OF scissors. Fields
took the fret train for the west and, as
there Was no witnesses, all believed
that he were the murderer. His wife
some years afterward became involved
in difficulty with woman and killed
her, for which she was sentenced to
the penitentiary. A short time ago, as
she was dying of consumption, she was
pardoned.
The truth then became known, and
amends we're at once made as far as
possible for the wrong that her hus-
band had suffered. Fields lie said to
have prospered greatly in bis new
home, ard it is doubtful If he will care
to return to the State Of his birth.
