her by the throat, and drawing n knife
from his back pocket. calmly slashed
away until the head was almost sover-
ed. lie then dropped the body, and,
going to his home. washed his blood
stained hands, and surrendered.
There was intense interest in the
trial. which began on Juno %. Nearly
tho whole day was spent in securing
the jury, many Of the venire having
expressed unchanging opinions, and
others being opposed to capital pun
ishment. The jury finally selected was
composed of young farmers Thirty or

finally abandoned, when It was seen
that the procedure was meeting with
little sympathy. Insanity was then re-
lied on.

was conducted by Commemorative At

Barnes, of New Kent. Among the
! spectators at the trial were the father
and two brothers of Mrs. Walker Two
young children OF the couple were on
the courthouse lawn during the trial
In charge of a nurse.
The condemned man appeared to be
unconcerned over his impending fate
yesterday, clearing showing that he is
conhdent of securing a new trial. Z He
readily discussed the case with the
county jailers. with the exception OF
the actual killing. Before the after
noon was over he was on friendly terms
with the other prisoners confined in

MANY EXCURSIONS
OUT OF RICHMOND
Rush to Seashore and Mountains
Over Fourth Breaks All
Records.

While exact figures are not yet avail
able, II Is believed that all previous
records were broken by the excursion
business in and out Of Richmond yes
terday. Five long trains of from ten
10 twelve coaches-three over the Ches-
apeake and Ohio. and two over the
Norfolk and Western-carried swelter-
Ing people to the seaside. The West
Point crowd over the Southern was a
record breaker, especially on the after
noon trip, and the other roads handled
their share.
Inc exodus began early on Thursday,
when wagons piled high with trunks
dashed about the streets. The Fourth

day but brief and unimportant half

lasc or the opportunity to spend the

curSion train left for the White Sui
phur and other mountain resorts, and
tho steamer out of Richmond Thursday
night was crowded to It's capacity with
those seeking cooling breezes wher-
ever they might be found. But the
rush came yesterday morning when
the special excursion trains for the
beach left. crowded to the steps. +
Although fully 10000 people had left
the city over the Fourth In one way
anu dHother, the streets were HOt de-
serted. for almost every railroad like
wise had excursions into Richmond
from the country districts.
In business circles to-day will be
almost as much OF holiday as yester-
day Many wholesale houses will be
closed altogether. and In other lines OF
business early closing will prevail.
Banks will be open until noon, but little
business will be transacted that can
DC postponed until Monday. and many
