Immediately made a motion to set

from the action of the defense they
will carry the case to the Court of

Mccormick closed the case of the
defense, and the last words were
spoken by Commonwealth Attor-
ney Lewis. The speeches were
scholarly and magnificent efforts in
every way, and many compliments
were showered on the attorneys as
they finished their oratorical labors.
1t has been many years since
such an array of talent took part in

absolutely safe it can be said that

The general opinion seems to
prevail that if the case is carried to
the Court of Appeals and a new
trial ordered. Joseph IL. Copen-
havcr will not escape rs lightly as
under the present sentence.
No other criminal cases were
heard at the term of Court. and
only few chancery cases were dis
posed of.
During the entire week a large
number of strangers were here. and
the hotels and boarding houses
were taxed to their utmost capacity.
We understand that the cases to
bc heard at the September term are
the jackson assault case, the Lipp-
kin murder case, and the Thurman
divorce case. That. in addition to
the necessary chancery cases to be
heard, will give Berryville one of
busiest terms of Circuit Court yet
