M WYTHEVILLE VA. Dec. 1.-THE pco-
pic OF the county are filled with horror
at the developments in the murder OF
Robert Burchctt, who was found dead
yesterday morning at Max Meadows,
Va. Tonight the dead mans wife and
Ulysses Grant A1cGlammery are In the
Wythc county jail awaiting an Indictment
by tn cgrand jury, both having been sent
on in preliminary hearings,
Tho examination In McGlammerys ca SO
was held secretly this afternoon before
Magistrate r. Grattanf Crockett at Max
Meadows. but 1t transplred tilat he and
the woman had been intimate forssome
time, that Burchett on one occasion
caught McGlammery In his home, and
that they had quarrcled over the matter.
It is also stated that McGlammerySW was
seen at the house the night OF the muir
der. It Is therefore presumed that Bur-
chett found his wife and McGlammery
together again, and upon his appearance,
tho guilty pair decided to remove the
obstacle In their way, and lie with axe.
and she with Q, Ratchet they cut the head
OF the unfortunate man to pieces. hey

Gently published by Mr.. Powell that the
board had not carried out the law as gov.
ernlng some Of their actions Should
they do this, spicy communication Is
looked for.
In an interview with Common wealths
Attorney w. A. Watson to-day. he stated
that he had thus far come to no decl-
sion as to whether Or not other indict-
ments would be drawn and another grand
jury asked for. he is probably awaiting
the result of the collection of tickets now
being made by the sheriff.
Mr.. Watson had no hesltancy In ex-
pressing d great disappointment at tho
failure of the recent grand jury to find
q true bill from the evidence before 1t.
LIST OF QUESTIONS,
FIe expressed much surprise at the fact
that the accused sent into the grand
jury, through its foreman. Mr.. Benjamin
Irby, a list OF questions to be asked GER
tain witnesses. These ques lions were not
seen by any Of the jurors except the fore
man. and the question OF whether or not
they could be asked was submitted to the
court for It's decision. The court decided
they could not be.
Nothing has occurred In this county for
years that has occas!oned as much COM
ment as the entire affair. Many of the
friends Of Mr.. Powell arc still claiming
his Innocence of any Intentional wrong
doing, This is evidenced by the fact that
some Of the leading citizens Of the county,
among them several directors OF the bank.
of which he Is president, appear as has
bondsmen, as shown recently In this cor
respondence,
There are others who have peen among
his supporters In the past, evea In the
recent election with the cloud of wrong
doing hanging over him, who are now
among those consuming him and demand
ing further action In tho matter.
