Murder in the First Deqree.

This was the verdict on Monday ev-
ening last when the jury in the case of
| the Commonwealth VS.. Kennedy re.
turned into court. Kennedy is mere
boy. The charge was that in Deem
Der last. he, with others, wrecked a
passenger train on the N. s. W. Ry.
near Greenville in this county, for the
purpose of robbery, and IN the wreck
| the engineer was killed. The case was
worked up by the Baldwin Detective
Agency of Roanoke. The proof seem
ed convincing, and some time ago
Kennedy and one Jim Bailey were ar.
rested and lodged in Jail here. Not
long since Kennedy and a gypsy of
the name of Massey who had murder
ed his wife, came near breaking jail.
Kennedy pleaded guilty, and the Com
monwealth proved her case by the de-
tectives and Justices 8. A. u. Mckee
and j. Ballard Smith, who alleged that
the prisoner had confessed to them
The prisoner then went upon the stand
and told the story of the affair in de
tail. Had there ever been any doubt
as to the legality or truthfulness of his
statements to the detectives and Off
GERS, all doubt was swept away by his
SbduCnCaU uu upoOs w dOA uuC VCl-
dict was rendered not q culver could
be seen in his countenance, and whether
he realized the awful fate which was
upon him we do not know, though it
is said he did.
Standing and looking upon this
youth it was hard to believe that his
days would end upon the gallOws. He
is boy of pleasant face if not really
good looking. The hardened visage of
a criminal was not there. His hair is
dark, his complexion clear and what
there was to enlist him in such crime
may never be known. We can only
conclude that it was the influence of
older and more pronounced criminals.
When the verdict was rendered there
was hush in the court and the as
sembled audience waited with bated
breath the voice of the clerk when he
read, 1--WE the jury find the prisoner
guilty of murder in the first degree as
charged in the Indictment. Then
asked, And SO say you all gentlemen"
The jury bowed assent and it was all
over. Then was realized by those
present the awful solemnity of the &C
casion, the majesty and power of the
law. The boy was born in the Blue
Ridge mountain near Greenville in this
county, and was indicted under the
name of John Kennedy alias Con Ea-
ton. We have learned little of his fam
lily history. Sentence has been with
held, and he will be used as witness
in the trial of Jim Bailey and bis moth
err. Mrs. Ellen Bailey, whose trials have
been continued until the next term.
Messrs. Charles M. East and Ran
dolph Tucker were appointed by the
court to defend the prisoner.

LEVERS ELECTION CONTESTED.
The Case Was Set For Yesterday-Why
There Is An Element of
UneaSineSS.

Representative Levers contest
ed election case was set for yes.
terday. This is the second time
MIR. Lever has been called upon to
defend himself in contested cleo
ton case, both times the contestant
being cornfield darkey named
Dantzler. Dantzler brought the
contest on the ground that the
South Carolina suffrage laws are
unconstitutional and therefore
South Carolina elections are it,
legal.
National interest centres in this
case Of Representative Lever for
the reason that the entire princi.
pie Of suffrage qualifications in the
Southern States, like North and
South Carolina, Louisiana, Ala
bama and Mississippi is involved.
Some uneasiness was excited at
the action of Speaker Cannon in
referring the case to election COM
mittee No. I. This committee
holds the record for having un-
seated more men in congress than
any other committee. At its head
is Representative Mann Of Illinois,
who takes Il peculiar delight in
defending the negro against what
he claims is the maltreatment he
receives in the South.
