Found Guilty.

In the trlalloi A. B. Schlitzbaum,
which was concluded here Wednss-
day. Hartford saw, perhaps It's 6erc-
est legal battle fought to a finish.
Schlitzbaum was charged with EN-.

OF ]. w. Boatner aud A. B. Schlitz-

In former trial.
On the side OF the defense were the
law firms Of Heavrin & Woodward and
Glenn & Ringo, while the Common
wealth's Attorney was assisted In the
prosecution by Hon. II. P. Taylor.
The contest between the attorneys on
opposite sides over the examination
OF witnesses and points Of law involv.
ed, was desperate and acrimonious
throughout the long trial. In all,
thirty-two witnesses were examined,
Schlitzbaum being on the witness
stand six hours. Six days were re-
quired to examine the witnesses,
while the counsels spent three days

Ing nine days 10 all. The Jury was

indictment could not be found. Con-
sldering the bitterness OF the struggle
between the defendant and prosecu-

caused no little comment.
The circumstantial evidence, and
even the direct testimony, wove a net
work Of proof around Schlitzbaum,
from which, with all OF his tact aud
shrewdness, he could not extricate
himself. While he told a straight
forward story, yet he contrsdicted
himself on former trials on several
material points. and the other wit
nesses were contTadleted on many
points.
To those who heard the evidence
the verdict came as nosurprise. No

by some that they had managed their

that II would be very difficult to es-

During his long confinement,
Schlitzbaum has made some friends

with him. He came near braking
down when the verdict was read.

SPRING AILMENTS.

There Is an aching and tired feel
ing; the liver, bowels and kidneys
become sluggish and inactive, the
digestion impaired, with little or NO
appetite, no ambition for anything,
and feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter, there
has been an accumulation Of waste
matter in the system. Herbine will
remove 1t, secure TO the secretious
a right exit, and its tonic effect,
fully restore wasted tissues and
give strength ia place OF weakness.

In a late speech delivered by Hon
John s. Wise before a literary Sec
tion of Vassar institute, in the State
of New York, she pictures the Dem
ccrats OF the South as intense impe-
rialists" and with so much venom
and hatred as to provoke the indig
nation and contempt of a New York
reporter, and the following response
in our defense:
Il have been proud of the South
as a section of my country" he said.
II knew it bad given us great pres
idents, under whose administrations
the republic took life and strength
II knew that the South had re
belled and that it had accepted de-
feat as no other people on earth ever
did. / knew it had come back into
the Union out of desolation and de,
struction and, In less than one gen
GRAFTON, had given General Wheel
er and the first blood in a new war
for human freedom under the ban
ner of the Union.
Il did not suspect this people of
imperialism until tonight, and | can
hardly suspect them now. thought
the imperialists were ones who in
vaded the South with bayonets; who
went behind election returns, over.
turned the will of the people and
committed the most goddess political
crime in history, the theft of the
Presidency of the United States.
II imagined that imperialists were
those who took up war for human
rights and pledged the nations faith
to the principle that the acquisition
OF territory would be criminal ag-
erosion and then proceeded to turn
into way of conquest and subjuga-
ton.
II thought these are. things which
imperialists had been doing in all
ages"
The reply is given, not because the
South needs any defense from at
tacks made by Mr.. Wise, but for the
information of our readers and
b. cause showing the regard with
which his utterances are received
from home. His speech can cause DO
surprise to anyone in Virginia at all

tiers pertaining to his Lative State.

The case OF Judge Clarence j..
Campbell, of Amherst county, who
some months ago publicly horse-
whipped Rev. G. h. Crawford, Super
intendent of the Virginia Anti-Saloon
League is now being heard before
the Committee for Courts of Justice
of the House of Delegates and the
proceedings so far seem to indicate
that the investigation will be a very
thorough one. The cowhiding of the
aged minister is not only to be looked
into, but all the conditions which
led to the publication which provok
ed the assault. To that end the COM
mittee has decided that everything
which In any way relates to the case,
from the trial of the liquor cases
criticised by Rev Mr.. Crawford to
the trial and acquittal of Judge
Campbell for assault upon him, is q
legitimate subject of inquiry by
them.
In the trial of the case sensational
developments, it is stated, may be
expected. and if the attorneys for the
prosecution can submit proof suffi-
cient to sustain the correctness of
charges made by them against Judge
Campbell, they will not be of sind
to give US q better opinion of him,
or which should cause the commit
tee to hesitate in recommending his
removal from office, because OF con
duct unbecoming judge. But what
ever the result of the investigation
and however favorable to him, the
stigma cannot be removed which at

cowardly attack made by him upon
