Z. .CULPEPER, VA, September 10
This town was much enlivened to-
day by the presence of a number Of
denizens OF the mountain fastnesses
of cnlpeper and Rappahannock coun-
ties, some friends, all neighbors, of
William Seal and his so1-in-law,
Byrd JenkiVs. in Jail here for the foul
murder of William Smith. son-in-law
and brother-ln-law himself. respec-
lively, to Seal and Jenkins.
All the comers from the neighbor-
hood to-day reported that the feeling
was bitter and intense, and growing
against Seal and Jenkins. some of
them saying that 1t would not be
surprising ia mob came from their
inetghborhood to take them out of jail
and hang them. but the sheriff says
that this cannot be done.
William Seal. in an Interview in the
Jail this evening, said that he believes
his son-in-law. Jenkins. killed Smith.
and that Jenkins. who lived at Seals
house. was away all last Sunday, the
day of the night of the murder, until
. o'clock that night; that he was not
there to his supper: that on. coming
into the house he complained of being
sick at the stomach, and appeared very
much asitatell. and on being asked
what kept him away SO late said he
was too sick to talk; that later in
the night Jenkins was heard to say
that he guessed he. presumably mean
ing William Smith, was fixed now. and
where he would not harm anybody
else.
Seal. who detailed this conversation
to-day as between himself and Jen-
kins, does not yet know that Jenkins
lin his testimony before the coroner di-
rectly charged him with the murder
OF Smith.
Jenkins In his cell some feet away
from the cell of Seal during this in
tervtew, stood for the most part en-
5tlrely mute, only saying In response
to questions that he know nothing
about the Killing of Smith himself, but
that "old man Seal must have done
it,
So each to-day during this inter-
view accused the other of the murder
and there the mystery still hangs.
Judge D. A. Grimsley, of the Cir
cult Court, will on his arrival from
holding court In another county, sci
the time for the convening of specla
grand jury to indict Seal and Jenkins
The iudgl Will then decide as to the
probable safety OF the prisoners re.

tinuation of the manifested blessings

clares that nowhere in the world is
there such an opportunity for free
people to develop to the fullest extent
all powers of body, mind and char
acter
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestiience,
from war;" it declares. "Our nat
ural resources are at least as great
as those of any nation. Much has
been given us from on high and much
will rightly be expected OF us In re-
turn. Into our care the 10 talents
have been entrusted, and we are to
be pardoned neither If we squander
and waste them, nor yet if we hide
them in a napkin.
1--WE should earnestly pray that the
spirit of righteousness may grow
greater in the hearts of all and that
our souls may be inclined even more
toward the virtues that tell for gen
tleness, for loving kindness and for
bearance one with another, for with
out these qualities neither nation
nor individual can rise to the level Of
greatness"
