Want Captain Woods.

ii The interest in the case is on the In
crease. and the demand that Captain
sMicajah Woods be taken into the prose
cution is gaining so in strength that 1t
seems almost certain that he will be
compelled to yield to the pressure being
brought to bear upon him. Tho fact
that the counsel for the defense proposes
to put up strong fight and will delay
the trial OF the case as much ms possible
Is apparent. and considerable impatlence
over these tactics is being manifested
among the people.
1t is considered easy Of proof that Mr..
Lyman is bona fide resident OF Char
lottesvle and entitled to serve on the
grand Jury, and the plea that he is not IS
regarded solely as a dilatory move. a
judicial decision on Mr.. Lyman's place Of
residence was given some time ago when
The question OF his tax assessmen came
up. and 1t was then decided by Judge
Morris that he was a resident Of Char
lottcsville and entitled to be taxed as
such.
The defense, however has attained its
object In securing jury for the trial
of this point, and It Is not regarded rs
likely that a date for tho trial Will be set
before the last Of this week.
