Labor and La Follette's Bill.

A topic of interesting conversation among
the members Of the labor unions Of the
District is the La Toilette bill. requiring
that no railroad man shall be permitted or
required to work more than sixteen in any

Central Labor Union last evening it was
the subject of much favorable comment. Il
developed that the interest in the measure
ia not confined alone to labor circles, but
that 1t is favored by many In other walks
OF life. The bill is fraught with interest to
labor as we'll as to those who are forced to
road employees are affected and the labor

Opinion Is Divided.

Opinion Is divided as to the probable out
come of the case, but many of the leading
citizens are of the opinion that the plea
that the shooting was done 10 vindicate the
honor Of the girl will not secure the free
dom of the mother and son.
1T was a cold blooded and unwarranted
murder" members OF the Posey family say.
The belief Is expressed. however that
Herbert Posey had promised TO marry his
cousin, irrespective of any allegation of
that he had even made Il contribution to
assist In defraying the expense incurred for
the double wedding feast that was 10 be
enjoyed at the home OF his sister Thanks
giving night. II Is believed that he would
have appeared al the house that night and
been married had II not been for the OBJ
jections raised by his parents. His treat
ment of his cousin Thanksgiving night and
his subsequent refusal to speak to her at
church proved a burden to her mother and
brother and they concluded that a forced
marriage or the taking OF the life of Herbert
Posey were the only thing that would
right the wrong he alleged to have
done Posey would not marry the girl
and the mother and son made good their
alleged threat to kill him upon the road
where they met him. The fact that Posey
had had Henry Bowie bound over to keep
the peace, added to the fact that the
mother and son armed themselves and
drove seven miles to overtake him. II is
argued, will initiate against their chances
for acquittal when the case Is called In
court in May.
A new feature OF the case came to light
tonight, when Attorney w. Mitchell Digges
told of a visit he received from Henry
Bowie a few days after the Strother-By-
waters shooting took place near Culpeper.

It's death will be the, probable result.
