MCCue Guilty.

The Jury in the trial of Samuel
McCue, for the murder of his wife
in Charlottesville, return verdict
shortly after eleven o'clock last
Saturday finding the prisoner gull
ty of murder in the first degree as
charged in the indictment.
No case since the trial of Clu-
verius for the murder of Lillian
Madison in Richmond, or DIR. John
A. p. Baker for the murder of mis-
wife at Abingdon has attracted the
widespread attention which this
case has received at the hands of
the people of Virginia and the
Country at large.
In the minds of the people there
has never been much doubt that
McCue was guilty, and it was
necessary to summon 40 men
before jury could be secured to
try the case. 1t is now said that
there was only one ballot taken
by the jury.
As soon as the verdict was an
nounced the prisoners attorneys
made a motion for the verdict TO
be set aside as contrary to the evil
dence, and because the jurymen
were allowed to see newspapers
containing the accounts of the
trial. The matters will be argued
today.
The crime was committed on the
night of September 4, and the YER
dict was delivered on November 8,
only two months from the date of
the crime. With this expedition
of the case the people of Virginia
have no fault to find, and nothing
but praise for the officials of the
law.

Tribute Of Respect.


ningham Parish, Virginia, October
30, 1904, Messrs. William z. Carter.
X. Powell Page and p. III. Mayo
were appointed a committee to
prepare resolutions as a tribute of
respect to the memory of the late
Thomas NJ. Nelson, who had for
many years been Vestryman,
Junior Warden, and Treasurer of
this church.
At a meeting held November 4,
1904, the vestry adopted the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That in the death of
MIR. Thomas NJ. Nelson, this Church
and Vestry have lost one of it's
best, most useful, and efficient
members, who was eminently fitted
for the several important positions
he had filed for so many years,
exemplifying his Christian charac-
ter, many manly virtues, his capa-
bilities, personal magnetism, splen-
did geniality, and untiring energy
in the discharge of his duties in all
his relations in the community in
which he so becomingly lived.
Mr.. Nelson was an active helper
in all good works, and in all things
honorable and high minded.
To all classes and conditions of
people he showed unusual simplici-
ty of his lovable character, and his
ever kindly consideration for from
the lowest to the highest endeared
him to all, and made him ever in
the heart of every man, woman
and child, of this beloved home
land.
The many that followed him to
the grave attested the sweet tributes
of sympathy of the multitude of
sorrowing ones.
They kiss the memory of his
early days, they kiss the footsteps
of his middle life, and best of all
they kiss the beauty of his rare
and gentle manhood.
How many can testify to the
prompt responses of this loved
friend, who never turned from any
one who needed his strong hand
and his noble heart to comfort and
render aid in the hours of need.
1t seems strange indeed that we
shall not take his honest hand
again, and say Good night, 8"
Good night"
The mantle of these gifts fell
upon him by birthright, and noble
lineage, which came to him as an
inheritance in the chivalrous bear
ing, the Christian energy, and the
eminently pious principles of his
lamented father, the late good and
gallant Captain William n. Nelson.
Resolved, That in the death of
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Nelson we pro-
foundly sympathize with his sadly
bereaved family, whose sorrows
are our sorrows, and to whom we
desire to speak words of comfort.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the records of the
Church, and a copy be sent to the
family, and that they be published
by the VeStry in the Southern
Churchman, and THE CLARKE
COURIER.

On Sunday, October 23. just
before midnight, the soul of ThOs.
NJ. Nelson returned to the God who
gave it. Having known him init
mately from his boyhood up to the
day of his death, ] can say without
fear of contradiction that his loss
is the greatest that this community
could have sustained. AS Junior
Warden and Treasurer of Christ
Church. Millwood, he was untiring,
and ever jealous in doing all that
could be done for the welfare of
the Church. As friend to the
widows and orphans, the poor, the
afflicted and distressed, he was
without peer, doing more than
his means would allow. Hisgenuine
sympathy going out to all made
him favorite with all classes and
conditions of mankind. His funeral
was the largest that / can recall,
and the grief of everyone more
than apparent. No one ever knew
Tom Nelson without liking him, !
might say loving him. His COM
manding figure and open cOunte-
nance, his ever cordial and gracious
manner, placed him far ahead OF
the average man. As a peace
maker he had no equal. One oil
his neighbors told me few days
since that he did not know what
he could do without Mr.. Nelson;
that his advice to him was always
good. Tears came into his eyes
and he said they continually die
and he could not help it. This j:
not an isolated case, but one Of
many. The subject of this sketch
had his ups and downs, his trials
and misfortunes, but he Away.
