The documents do not disclose just
how the incident ended. but one official
said it was his recollection, from read
ing the history of the trial, that the
presidents attitude was upheld by the
courts.
Burr was tried at Richmond. Va,
in 1907 and was acquitted.
The papers, more than hundred
years old, were loaned by Judge Ed
mund Waddill of the United States
district court at Richmond to Chief
Clerk Field of the department of JUS

the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
at Seattle last year. They were re-

 al Case Without Avail.

l.. F. Monroe, attorney for Wash ington in the county seat removal case in Hampstead county, appeared before Chancellor James D. Shaver Saturday and againasked for an order restraining the voting on the county seat removal at the coming general election. Hope was represented by Attorney James H. McCollum. When Judge Shaver was asked to issue a similar order several weeks ago he refused, saying that the case would have to be taken into the circuit court. The attorneys for Washington then asked the circuit judge to grant the order restraining the election till the appeal from the county court had been tried. The circuit judge refused to issue one and this last attempt was made be- fore Judge Shaver. The chancellor again refused the order on the grounds that the case was in the hands of the circuit court and he could not interfere.
 The attorneys left for their homes this afternoon.
