A dispatch from Williamson, W, Va,
OF May Is, says:
With the beginning of the trial OF
Senator S. D. Stokes today the curtain
was run up on The last act Of the
ira edy begun, Nhen last Novemt err
r CIV. Mr.. Wohl, the Presbyterian
minister here, was shot ard killed in
the front room Of his house by S. D..
Stokes, prominent lawyer Of this city.
Every point was contested and it
was not until late in the day that the
jury was finally empannelled and
sworn. Suspense on all sides was then
evident
Behind the attorneys for the prose
cution sat Mr.. G. r. Prentice, wealthy
banker of Kentucky, by the side Of his
mourning daughter, the wife OF the
dead man. Near by was Mrs. Lenelve,
of Richmond, Va, the only eye witness
of the fearful tragedy.
The State opened its case with OF s
Riley wlo, standing within a hundred
and fifty yards Of The holse, at the fist
crack of the pistols rloe toward the
porch, only TO be met by Senator tokes
with smoking pistol in hand.
Riley asked the trouble. Stokes
replied "Wohl shot me first and l had
to kill him." caused Riley to start
toward the room where the fatal ARRAY
occurred. There it was he met Mrs.
Leneive, who in response to
interrogatory from Stokes, said; Eyes,
Mr.. Wohl fired first.
Wohl was found lying in pool OF
blood with only life enough lett TO
attempt to speak. Riley had hardly
entered the room before the minister
was dead.
Riley's story virtually ended the
case, as it was known that Mrs. Leneive
would testify the same. There was
for the State to debut to close,
Mr. Stokes then went upon the stand |
and calmey gave the history If the |
tragedy; how Wohl had attacked him
as he sat convsrsing with Mrs. Leneive
and not until shot did he succeed in
drawing his revolver to savs his own
life.
The scene was impressive, and all in |
the courtroom were much moved as |
the young lawyer told the painful |
story. After elaborate argument the |
jury tonight brought in a verdict of |
not guilty.
