A Buckingham &. II. correspondent
to the Times Dispatch under date Of
October %, writes:
The now famous trial OF Charles J.
Forbes and Ele Woodbridge for arson,
will be taken up on the third Monday
In November in the town of Farmville.
We oldridge says he wants to be tried
in Buckingham, and we'll he might
say this, for he has friends here, and
there are people here who have ex-
perienced kindness at his hands, while
in the adjoining county he would be
comparatively a stranger. For the
lawyers to attendIPrince Edward Court
1t will be much more convenient, as
also for the witnesses from Appomattox
and from the southern part Of this
county.
Forbes may be given his choice of re-
naming in Jail here or being confined
in the Jail at FarmyilIe, pending his
trial, and he chose to remain here. So
far Charlie Forbes seems to have been
on ideal prisoner, giving the jail au.
thOrities no unnecessary trouble. His
nerves must have undergone a great
strain since his confinement Of six or
seven months. After his spell Of ty-
phoid fever and while in his weak state
Of body he had TO remain in few feet
Of where the negro Banks was being
hung, and then, after hoping to be
tried at the October term Of the Cir
cult Court here, he was disappointed.
His sister, Miss jamie Forbes, has Sc
cured appointment as teacher in the
malone" public school, near this place,
and when she is here TO see her broth
er, the boarding house keepers have
thrown open their doors to entertain
her free Of charge. On the other hand
"Clid" Woodbridge has been a restless
prisoner, and his attempt to free him
self Of bis confinement, and then to
claim that he intended when out to go
and surrender himself to the officers of
the law, is considered ola piece with
the many imprudent things he has
done and said since this charge has
been made againstIhim.
AS it is he now stands with the tenth
indictment against him, nine Of them
on the charge Of firing the nine houses
on the Forbes estate, and the fresh
one of attempting to break Jail
Mr.. f. w. HUBBARD, who so ably
prosecuted these cases, and who has
been confined to the hospital by sick
ness, was expected home Saturday. but
it is understood that this duty at the
coming trial at Farmville will devolve
on the attorney for the Commonwealth
in Prince Edward county.
heard a prominent county official
say he thought if Mr. HUBBARD had been
here and resisted the motion for
change OF venue, that the judge would
have had the trials at this place. 1t
will be recalled that nine Of the jurors
at the trial OF Woodbridge voted for
conviction. So far as is known no new
testimony has been adduced for either
side, but public interest in the outcome
Of these cases is undated, and the peo-
pie are watching the papers to find out
any move that is made i'm the matter. |

A correspondent writing from Ar
voDia to the News Leader concerning
the removal OF the Woodbridge auC
Forbes cases to Farmvile for trial ha'
the following to say:
There Is widespread dissatisfaction
throughout a large portion of this cOun-
ty on account Of the change of venue
In the noted Forbes and Woodbridge
cases, which was granted by the judge
at the last term OF the court. After
some preliminary discussion the court
agreed that the cases should be tried in
Farmville at the next term Of the
Prince Edward court, the third Mon
day IN November.
Judge Hundley stated that he
thought it best under the circumstances
to make the change Of venue for sew
eral reasons. The chief reason was the
extreme probability that a jury could
not be secured in Buckingham Of so un-
prejudiced a mind as to do justice In
the case; and to save the bringing in Of
jury from elsewhere with It's attend
ant great expense, he thought best TO
remove the cases to Farmvile, town
convenient to a large number Of the
lawyers and witnesses in the cases,
where jury could be readily obtained
from other parts of Prince Edward
county.
However strong the argument for
the change Of venue, the people of
Buckingham are generally dissatisfied
with the removal. 1t is openly claim
ed by some Of the most substantial
citizens that it is a reproach to the
county and a matter Of injustice TO re-
move the case. 1t il strenOusly umain.
tanned that jury could, without any
possible trouble, have been enrolled in
the county. Indeed it is known that
the venire called at the last term OF the
court contained number OF excellent
men, who were ready and willing to
serve on the jury-men whom the
prisoners themselves did not object to
in any possible way. This venire was
not even questioned as to their know
ledge Of the case or their opinions.
1t is claimed by the county authori-
ties that revenue is taken from the
county. Also, that the majority Of the
hundred witnesses live twice as far
from Farmville rs they do from Buck
inghsm Courthouse. For this reason,
and others. there is much dissatisfac-
ton with the change Of venue; and an
effort will probably be made to bring
the case back this county before 1t
comes to trial in Farmvile. While
such a step would please few, il any,
Of the lawyers in the case, it would |
satisfy the Buckingham people that
justice is being done the county; and a
retention Of the case here would be
satisfactory, 80 far as is
known, to the prisoners, whose llle s
and liberty are at stake.
