MURDER AT POCAHONTAS
John frigG the Victim, and a
Woman is Charged with the
Crime.

Another murder is reported from
Pocahontas, and notorious colored
woman is in jail, charged with the
crime.
II seems that John Trlgg, n well
known young colored man, and who has
several brothers living In this city, was
shot and instantly killed about IL
o'clock Monday night, the tragedy oc-
curing at his home on StClair street.
Suspicion pointed TO Sue Holly, and
she was arrested, charged with the
crime. We are told that she stated
that TTigg had shot himself, but the
very nature OF the wound discredited
her statement. The bullet entered the
left side OF the poor fellows head, and
ranging above and back Of the eyes,
lodged near the right temple. 1t is
said that the brains oozed out over
the forehead. There were no powder
marks around the wound.
An inquest was held, and the cor.
oner's jury decided that Trigg came tc
his death from pistol shot fired by
some unknown party.
The woman was to have been tried
yesterday, but at the request ofTngg's
relatives the Preliminary hearing was
postponed until Friday.
Trigg was twenty-one years Of age
and was well liked in the community
He had borne a good reputation hither
to, but it is said 9hat some time ago he
became enamoured OF the Holly wo
man, and that they had since been liv
ing together, as man and wife, but with
out benefit of clergy. The woman re
ceived attentions from other men, anC
it is surmised that Trigg became jealous
and that a quarrel resulted, culmina
ting IN his death.
Trigg's remains were brought t.
Graham yesterday afternoon, and vii
be inferred there BluefielC

CAMPBELL CASE
IN LEGISLATURE
Not Believed that That
Body Will Take Action.

Since the ending OF the Campbell
Crawford cowhiding case In the courts
in manner favorable TO the former.
the impression seems TO be growing
that there viii be no action by the
Legislature.
Members expressed this view before
, the 'rial before the County Court OF
Amherst had been gone into, and while
but few of them have been heard To
discuss il since, yet those who have
said anything here concerning il are not
In favor OF going into H.
ave have graver matters than this
10 look after ;" said one Of them the
other night, "and Il is my opinion that
the Campbell matter will not come az
the fall session.
The ground for not dealing with the
matter at the short session was that
nothing should be done pending the
trial in the courts, and that urged now
is that Judge Campbell has been tried
IN proper form and has been vindicat-
ed by jury OF his countrymen. 1t is
not known what course will be pursued
10y the lawyers and citizens who are be-
hind the petitions already presented to
the Legislature on the subject, but IL
begins to look now as IL any effort TO
get report on the resolutions from the
committee of either branch will fail.
The case is being widely discussed
by all classes of citizens in public
and on the street daily.
