younger sister Zone Of the Moore girls),
and Mary Robertson, daughter of the
murderer, were in the Moore house at
the time of the shooting and two OF the
Moore boys were near by and heard
the shots but did not see the shooting.
Mr.. Emoh, who was at his home be-
tween the Moore place aud Olga, also
heard the two shots fired. Robertson,
however. says that he only fired once
and he claims he acted in self defense,
alleging that Hand hit him on the
head with a "rock," apparently not
recognizing the Inconsistency of the
claim with his own admission to his
guards that when he fired the fatal
shot he stood near the gate to the
Moore house, thirty to forty yards dis
tant. from the place in the road where
the body was found, and the further
fact that Hand was ali old and feeble
man and unarmed.
The county coroner, sheriff and pros
ecuting attorneys went to Olga yester-
day to hold an inquest. They made
diligent effort to get there Tuesday,
but no boat could be obtained to take
them. The date Of the preliminary
hearing, which will be held here, has
not yet been fixed.

Pursuant to a call issued to some three
hundred citizens OF Richmond, repre-
sentative meeting of the interests of this
city was held at Lee Camp Hall last
right to consider the part which Rich
mond should take in the ter-centenary
celebration of the settlement Of James
town. Colonel John Murphy. chairman
of the Exposition Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, and as such chair
nan of the Special Jamestown EXPOSE
ton Committee, was in the chair, and
many Of the most distinguished citizens
Of the city detied the weather and took
an active part in the deliberations. In
the resolution above is summarized the
result of the meeting.
Prof. S. c.. Mitchell, by request of the
chair, gave his views as to the most ap-
rropriate method Of celebrating the land
ing at Jamestown. Professor Mitchell
emphasized the fact that this is an his
torical event, and that it would be in
general acceptance of the term, but ath-
er an occasion when we look back over
the past progress to recognize the crea-
tive feature of that settlement, which
was. in fact, the settlement in which this
great country had its origin and growth.
PLAN FOR CONGRESSES.
He, therefore, elabora ted the view that
We should 50 celebrate the three hun
dredth anniversary Of that settlement as
to show its Importance in the civic and
political history Of the country. He then
suggested that the occasion would be
most suitable one for number of i'm
portant gatherings, or congresses, here,
and for that purpose it would be essen
tial to have erected a hall to accommo-
date large meetings. His remarks along
this line We're listened to with great in
terest and to many of those present threw
a new light on the subject.
Mr.. Wyndham e. Meredith was next
called upon by the chair. After heartily
endorsing all that Professor Mitchell had
said, he suggested In addition to such
hall. already much needed in Richmond.
that we should on this occasion have
State building for a permanent exhibit
of the resources of Virginia, such a one
as all other progressive States now have,
and that in addition to the civic, political
and military features, amusement and
entertainment should be provided. and al
