Refused to Indict.

The grand jury OF Rappahanuock
county on Monday refused to bring in
an indictment against DR.. T. l.. Booton,
of that county, who, on July 4, shot and
killed William Jordan on the main street
of Flint Hill. The testimony of wit
nesses was to the effect that it was a
clear case of self-uefense and to this was
added strong sentiment in Bottoms
favor.
The tragedy was the outgrowth OF an
OLD grudge between Booton and Jordan.
BoOton had the management of the farm
of Mrs. MILAN, of that county, who was
sister of Jordan. 10 this capacity
Booton incurred the displeasure of Jor-
dan, who, on the day of the ARRAY, de-
manded that Booton relinquish his man.
ageuent. This Booton refused to do
until so ordered by Mrs. MILAN, and so
informed Jordan.
This so enraged Jordan that he made
the attack on Booton which ended in his
death. After being shot by Booton,
Jordan knocked the former down.
