On the 29th OF June John Fox, white
boy about Is years OF age. was arrested
in Berryville, Va, at the direction OF Pros
ecuting Attorney Geo. ID. Moore, OF this
county, the charge against him being that
he had killed by poison COW belonging
to John A. Smith, near Kabletown. Coun-
sci was employed for him, and his counsel
informed the Jefferson county officials that
Fox would not come without requiSition
papers. The Prosecuting Attorney OBJ
tanned the necessary papers from Gov
ernor GlaSscock, of West Virginia. and
then sent them to the Governor OF VIZ
ginia, who refused to grant the requiSi =
ton. He gave as his reason for refusing
TO grant the requiStion that ii was not
customary in felony cases to grant a re-
QUESTION merely upon warrant and affl-
davits. In this Governor Swanson was
very much in error. Mr.. Moore appealed
to Governor GlaSscock, and he commu-
nicated with Governor Swanson, politely
insisting that Prosecuting Attorney Moore
was right and the requiSition should be
issued. Governor Swanson thereupon
admitted his error and gave the necessary
papers. Fox was reaneSted in Benyville
last Saturday, and was taken to jail in
Charles Town to await his trial at the next
term of court.
