RICHMOND. VI. SpeciaI.-

RI CHMOND, Va, Special
Virginia Christian, the young
ncgrcss now confined in the peni-
tertiary. will go 10 the death
chair within two weeks.
She il the girl who murdered
Mrs. Ida BelOtc in her home in
Hampton several months ago.
and who was sentenced to die to-
morrow for that crime.
Governor Mann today disposed
of the case, which has been
pending before him for some
time. He declined to interfere
with the verdict of the jury.
In announcing his decision to
let the law take its course. the
Governor ordered that II respite
till Friday. August 2d. should be
granted the woman in order that
she may prepare for the end.
The case is one which created
a good deal of a sensation at the
time. due to the fact that the
murder was one of the most dia-
bOlicaI in that section for years.
Mrs. BcIOtc had employed the
girl to do some laundry work.
and when articles were missing
and asked for the girl became flu
riOuS and attacked Mrs. BclOte,

the head with a poker, then shat

and finally stuffed a towel into
her throat and mouth to prevent
her screaming and alarming the
neiGhbOrS. Defended by cOlored
lawyers, they refused to let her
take the stand in her own de-
Tense, and later made an appeal
to the Governor that the girl was
never bright or well balanced.
