VIRGINIA MURDER
 COMING ID TRIAL
Defendant a Man Who Re- Sented Services of a
 Physician

LIVINGSTON, Va, Nov. 13-The people of Nelson county are looking forward with much interest to the trial of Ben Hubbard, who is to be arTaigned tomorrow on the charge Of having murdered Dr. James C. Petit. Hubbard belongs to an old and prom inent family of this section, while his victim was one of the most prom inent physicians of the county and a member of Governor Mann's staff.
 The murder of Dr. Petit occurred on the ofternoon Of September 2J last in front Of the Virginia Hotel iG full view of hundreds of country folk who had congregated here, it being court day Dr. Petit was settling an ac- count with a client, when Hubbard approached from behind and shot him in the head Hubbard then walked up to his victim and fired five more shots from an automatic gun. Five Of the six shots took effect in the head. Any of them would have pro duced death.
 The six shots were fired so quickly that no one in the crowd could have stopped Hubbard, but when he had finished shooting a farmer came up and pinned his arms behind him and took the weapon from him. Then the crowd surged around him and the excitment became intense. For a time there appeared to be danger of mob violence and Hubbard was rushed to jail. Later he was taken to Lynch burg for safe keeping.
 Hubbard has declined to make any statement concerning the tragedy be- yond admitting the killing and declar- ing that he was justined. As to the motive for the shooting, about all that has been definitely learned is that Dr. Petit was called in last spring 10 attend Hubbard's wife who was in a delicate condition. Hubbard had arranged for a negress to attend to his wife and did not want a physi- clan. Hubbard's father had learned of the woman's precarious condition and sent for Dr. Petit, who did not want to attend the patient because of her husbands objections, but was finally persuaded to do so and it de veloped later that the woman probab- ly would have died but for his atten- ton After the occurrence Dr. Petit stated to friends that Hubbard had threatened his life but he did not fear him.
 Dr. Petit was 45 years old. and had been practicing here for years. His practice was large and he was very popular It was for this reason that Hubbard was hurried out of the coun try after the tragedy.
 In the coming trial Commonwealth 6 Attorney Whitehead will be in charge of the prosecution. John L.. Lee one of the foremost criminal lawers of Virginia, will be the leading counsel for the defense.

.REPUBLICANsSEES
 DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Prediction Made by Former Ambassador 10
 Mexico

David E. Thompson, former United States ambassador to Mexico, and a prominent republican, says 1t looks like a democratic national victory in 1912. Discussing the political out look as he saw it in his visit 10 northern and eastern states, Mir. Thompson, in Fl Paso Monday said: If they do not stop tie herd they will go over the fence, IL looks democratic to me. ] do not think that Taft's trip through the north and west did him any good even though il may have done no harm, Discussing interest in Mexico Mir. Thompson said. Americans feel kindly disposed toward Mexico and money Is going down there from our country as soon as they are assured that conditions are right there. This money will go where American money usnally goes in Mexico. that is into mines, timber lands and sim liar industries"
 Mir. Thompson arrived in Fl Paso Sunday and accompanied by his sis ter, Miss Eva Thompson and cousin, Mrs. Willard Leonard, will leave Monday evening for Mexico City.
 He left Mexico City in July ac- companying the remains of his wife who died there on July q. He took the body back to Nebraska for in torment and since that time has been travelling in New York and oth- CT eastern. states and has spent several weeks in California
