WfIGAL REFUSES TO TALK

Anniston, December 6.-(Special )-Fred Blaclxmon and Mir. Amory Fl. Quinn re- turned yesterday from Texarkana, Ark, liminary trial of Lee Weigal, who is charged with murdering the sister of the latter four days after marriage to her. Mir. Blackmon reports that people of that city were greatly wrought up over the affair and for a week after the event were almost wrought up to the point of public lynching. But for the presence of the attorney for the prosecution and two brothers of the murdered lady who coun- seled, prevailed over the element who thought that a epeedier Tetribution should be awarded him.
 MT. Blackmon says the people were unusually kind. He and the brothers of the unfortunate lady were shown every consideration. As the defendant waived examination to the March term of tho court 1t will be necessary for them to return to Texarkana at that time Weigsl steadfastly refuses to make any state ment about the affair and even to his at- torney has related nothing. But MT. Blackmon thinks, from such evidence as he was able to gather. that a conviction for murder in the first degree will result and that the fellows execution will promptly take place.
 Mir. Blackmon reports there are two different opinions in Texarkana as to the character of the alleged murderer One that he was a wild, desolute fellow; the other from the rector of an Episcopal church represents him to have been a moral and apparently honorable young man.
