Norvelle Eubank Acquitted.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-In your paper last Wednesday.
there is an account Of the rarest Of my
son. Norvelle, on warrant from Hamp-
ton; and, the statement Is made that
he had been previously arrested on an
other charge. In justice to his friends and
relatives. l beg that you will publish this
letter, which 1 write for the purpose Of
making known the fact that this was
the first ofrense against the laws with
which my son was ever charged, and
that he has been tried for this charge
and honorably acquitted.
It seems that another young man, who
had been sent on to the grand jury.
charged with the larceny of the Identical
goods which my son was accused OF hav-
ing stolen, Implicated my son In con-
versation had with one OF the oficers
at Hampton. Thereupon. this officer had q
warrant sent to Richmond for the arrest
of my son. on this charge, and he was
taken to Hampton and tried on Saturday.
the Sd instant, by the justice who issued
the warrant.
At this trial, tho young man who had
previously implicated my son. failed even
to repeat the charge. but testified that q
certain other boy, and not my son, was
the party who was Implicated.
Although, as thus appears there was
no evidence Whatever uSahSt my eo'''
yet, in order to completely clear him from
the slightest suspicion. several of his
Young friends testified that, at the time
the theft was committed, my son was
with them at place several miles distant
from that where the goods were stolen.
After this evidence had been submitted,
and without waiting for anything to be
said by my sons counsel, the justice
stated that there was nothing on which
to base the charge, and that my son was
honorably acquitted,
This is the first charge ever brought
against any member of my FAMILY ana
desire through the columns of your
valued paper. to thank my friends and
nv sons friends for their sympathy and
aid in this hour of trouble.
Very truly and respectfully yours,
