PROMINENT VIRGINIA JUDGE
PLEADS uNWRITTEN LAW
FOR THE KILLING OF
YOUNG ESTES.
OF HIS DAUGHTER
WHOM HE GOT DRUNK DURING
A BUGGY RIDE AND WHO
WAS VERY BADLY
MALTREATED.
tBy AsBoolated progv.l

HOUSTON, Va. June 24-Tne
trial of Former Judge w. G. Loving
for the murder of Theodore Estes be-
gan here today.
The shooting of young Estes was
the sequel to buggy ride taken by
Estes and Miss Elizabeth Loving,
The nineteen-year-old daughter Of
Judge Loving.
The girl when brought home had
been drinking, and 1t is alleged her
escort had maltreated her.
Loying's defense will be emotion
al insanity and the "unwritten law"
Judge Loving admits that he shot
and killed Estes for alleged wrongs
to his daughter, but under the statu-
tes Of Virginia his plea will be that
of mot guilty" and then the "un-
written law" will be relied upon,
Indeed, of this there can be no
doubt, because the commonwealth
will have no trouble to prove that
Judge Loving not only shot and
killed Estes in freight car at Oak
Ridge, but that he had been hunting
the young man for several hours.
After the shooting, the evidence
before Ball Commissioner Payne
showed that Judge Loving declared
that he had shot Estes and that he
had shot to kill. He also stated at
the time that he was not insane,
that he believed his daughter had;
been wronged, and that when he
started to look for the young man
there was no power on earth that
could prevent him from. attempting
6is life. with these conditions there
seems to be nothing left but the "un-
written law" on whic hto predicate
the optimistic feeling that Judge
Loving and his friends entertain.
It Is generally believed that the
trial will consume about week, and
1t is probable that as many as 100
witnesses will be examined before
the jury, though the court may sit
in the matter even longer than this
