ON CHARGE OF MURDER
VIRGINIA MAN HELD FOR DEATH
OF srEPFATHER.


Special Correspondence OF The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG. Va. July 2, 1907.
What is alleged to be one OF the most de-
lfberate and cold-blooded murders which
has ever occurred In this section of the
state was committed late Friday afternoon
within few miles Of Tappahannock Va.
on the Rappahannock river but owing to
| the remoteness of the place facts have been
hard to get. Mr.. Thomas Mcdaniel. one
OF the most progressive farmers and citizens
of that section, was shot down by his step
son, NJ. Brockenbrough Wright. who is now
confined in the jail at Tappahannock
charged with the .offense. Mr.. Mcdaniel
went to the adjoining farm. which is own
ed by his wife, the dwelling on the place
being occupied by his stepson. and found
Wright, in company with two other men.
named Sherwood and Carpenter, all very
much intoxicated, 1t Is said.
Mr.. Mcdaniel demonstrated with them.
and told them to leave the place. as they
were OBTAINING his stepson from his work.
Sherwood and Carpenter departed. but
when short distance from the house they
called Mr.. Mcdaniel to them, apologizing
for their conduct. then turned and started
to leave the premises. Mr.. Mcdaniel start
ed to go in the field, but changed his mind,
returning to the house. which he had hardly
entered, when shot rang out from within.
Sherwood and Carpenter. who had just
pdSSeu through tHe gate, returned TO the
house. where they found the body of Mr..
Mcdaniel lying on the floor with shotgun
beside him. Sitting on box in a corner
OF the same room was Wright with loaded
shotgun in the corner behind him. Wright
testified before the coroner's jury that the
gun which inflicted the fatal wound was
leaning against the door. and was acct
dentally discharged by Mr.. Mcdaniel with
fatal results. Carpenter and Sherwood
swore that when they left the house both
guns were together in the corner Wright
was the only person found in the house
after the shooting. DR.. w. B. Robinson.
who performed an autopsy on Mr.. McDan-
lers body, gave very damaging testimony
from medical standpoint, which tends to
criminate Virgin.
Mr.. MCDANIEL was in the prime of life.
He was grandson Of the late Thomas 8.
Croxton and a nephew of Capt. R. c. Crox-
ton of the United States Army. Wright is
a young man of good standing. At the
death of his father which occurred a cou-
pie of years ago, he came in possession Of
considerable sum of money. The coro-
ner's jury rendered verdict holding Wright
responsible for the murder. He was ar
rested soon afterward and given a hearing
before Magistrate r. J. Duke. who sent the
case on to the grand jury of the county
circuit court, which convenes in August. No
application was made for bail.
