Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
WASHINGTON. June S.-Congress-
man Walter Watson today went to
Alexandra. Va, where a term of the
Circuit court is being held, and asked
Judge Waddill and District Attorney
Groner to show all possible leniency
to w. f Truster, formerly assistant
postmaster at Crewe.
Truster Is on trial for opening mail
sent by Congressman Watson TO ciU-
zens of Crewe. He was caught by
postoffice inspectors and charged with
opening letters. His only defense was
that he was curious to know who Con-
gresham Watson intended to appoint
as postmaster at Crewe.
Owing to the former good record
of Truster, Judge Watson believes
that a small fine added to the injury
he has already sustained from pub
licity Of his offense, will be sufficient
punishment.
Judge Watson expressed the belief
that IL Truster pleads guilty Waddill
will impose a fine of between one
and two hundred dollars without a
Jail sentence. His case will probably
be reached tomorrow.

WERE OFFICERS SHOT
AFTER BEING KILLED?
New Question Arises in the Case of the
Killing Of Ranger and Deputy
Sheriff Near Shelter.

Is a man guilty of murder when he
shoots a dead MANI This may be the
question that viii be presented on the
final trial of those defendants indicted
for the murder OF ranger Scott Russell
and deputy w. II. Garlick. An opinion
prevails among some that the officers
were first killed by blows struck them
at the Guaderrama store at the
shelter, and after they had fallen to
the floor shots were fired into their
bodies.
That this might have been the case is
more pronounced IN the examination that
was made of RusselIs head. Across the
back of it was a deep cash that was
made with a sharp instrument. evidently
a meat cleaver. The ranger fell near a
meat block In the store. Garlick, the
opinion Is, was flOoTed, If not killed, by
being struck over the head with an ak
handle
In RusselIs case the indictment reads
that the defendants are charged with
killing him by means OF some sharp
instrument. After the ranger fell, it is
thought hat the man behind tho counter
in the store fired the shots into his
body. This opinion IS based on the loca-
ton Of the bullet wounds and the direc-
ton they took after entering the body.
The defendants are still being kept
in separate cells in the county jail and
closely guarded. They are not given any
opportunity to converse with each other.
Following the service of the capiases
on the murder indictments an applica-
ton for bond for the defendants viii be
filed in the way of habeas corpus pro-
seedlings, coming up for a hearing before
Judge Jackson.
On account of the 34th district court
adjOurning Saturday for the term, it IS
not probable that any of the cases win
come up for trial before the court recon
venes the first Monday in October.
