Richmond ESP eciaD.-The su.
preme Court OF Appeals granted a
writ Of error in the case of Ashlock
against the Commonwealth. AshIock
was convicted in the Circuit Court
Tor Williamsburg of the murder of
Andrew Brakeman. The crime Is
alleged to have been committed In

was twice tried-the first time in the
spring.
In his statement of the case coun-
sci for Brakeman says that his client
was indicted for the crime in Febru
airy and that he was not given a
speedy trial as guaranteed bv law
the first having resulted in a hung
jury, and that several terms of the
court were held when his case was
not called, and when called Il was
continued on motion by the prosecu-
tlon. The petition also states that
important witnesses were absent
when the trial was held in October
or this year, and that notwithstand-
ing this it was ordered to proceed
and also that evidence was admitted
which was Illegal. The man is under
sentence to die on December ;. but
the writ just issued stops that until

100000, of which $5O,OOO,OOO will
represent the per cent. Panama

This amount would increase the
present nominal balance from about
1.393,217. where It stood Thurs
day, to a little more than S325.0OO.-

be derived from the premium on the

should average as high as five per

100000.
With a nominal balance, however.
of more than 1925 900 900 the Treas

This condition of the Treasury
finances will be changed materially

retiring a considerable portion of
the one-year certificates before ma

doing this and saving considerable

on them if the agreements made with
banks to this effect can be carried
out under the conditions of the
