sOngs and a short address by Rev.

soul inspiring. The songs By little

much applause. After the render

rived and emptied the contents of
his honse into the laps of the child

thereby, and we believe none were
omitted. Santa Claus WAS his real
old sell and was full of humor and
kindness. The church was filled
with children and their parents
and everything passed off nicely.

Trial of Captain Jones.

The trial of Capt. Edward w. Jones,
of the Seyenty-frst Virginia regiment
of Infantry, charged with tie murder of
Maude Cameron Robinson, by cutting
her throat, began in the Corporation
Court at Norfolk Yesterday morning.
The case has attracted a great deal of
attention, and there is no doubt of the
sympathy of great many of the men in
the audience, who have known Captain
Jones as a business man and as the Off
Ger of one of the companies of the Sew
enty-6rst regiment. Many of them have
subscribed to the fund raised to pay for
his defense.
Captain Jones went TO the house of
Maude Cameron Robinson at midday in
the spring, and after pursuing her from
one room to another, it is alleged, hack
ed her throat with razor until her head
was almost severed from her body. Then
he turned the same weapon to his own
throat, and the marks of the razor are
there today.
Miss Thompson, or Wilkinson, was
the chief witness for the prosecution.
She says she saw Captain Jones cut the
throat of the Robinson girl, and that
she had heard him make threats that he
would kill her. EIma Russell said she
had lived in the house with the dead
girl, and that she had heard Captain
Jones threaten to kill her, and that she
had taken a pistol away from him.
From questions asked by counsel for
the defense it was indicated that the de-
