VIRGINIA EXECUTES WOMAN
Negro Girl Who Slew Mistress for Be- ing Reproved Pays Penalty
 with Her Life.

Richmond, Va. Aug. 17.-Virginia Christian, negro woman, was exc cuted here for the murder of Mrs Ida Virginia Belote

 The crime for which Virginia Christian paid the penalty with her life shocked the state. Mrs. Belote was the girls mistress. Upon being reproved by Mrs. Belote for not re. turning some clothes which had been given her to launder, the Christian girl flew into a rage and felled her mistress with a heavy poker. In an ungovernable frenzy the girl seized a cuspidor and crushed the head of the woman, then stuffed towel down her throat

 If you find witnesses testified who are accomplices. but whose testimony is not corroborated. it is your impera- tive duty to find the defendant not guilty If you are uncertain whether or not witness is an accomplioe. you must resolve the doubt in favor of the defendant
 As to Crcumstantlal Evidence.
 "The court instructs the jury that, in cases depending upon circumstan- tial evidence, the defendant shall not be found guilty, no matter how strong the circumstances, if there Is room for the belief that some other party did the act If you find that there was no motive for the commission of a crime, the defendant is entitled to verdict of not guilty.
