TRIAL OF BLANKS
WILL BEGIN TODAY
Is CHARGED WITH KILLING HIS
FRIEND. GEORGE
NUNNALLY.

PETERSBURG, VA, Sept. "a
The case OF the Commonwealth
against Waverly Blanks. charged with
killing George Nunnally on the night
of June 27th. is set for trial In the
Hastings court tomorrow. Common
wealth's Attorney r. III. Mann, Will
conduct the prosecution. while Samuel
W. thinner, assisted by E. F. Clements,
will represent the defense.
The tragedy occurred In a house
on Grove avenue, where Blanks and
his family resided, and in room
rented by Nunnaiiy from a woman
occupying the lower part Of the house.
of the Norfolk and Western Railroad
company, and up to a short time be-
fore the tragedy had been close
friends. The quarrel which ended
In the killing OF Nunnally. and the
wounding of blanks, was the result of
Nunnaily, who professed great friend
ship for Blanks, telling Blanks wife
of alleged misconduct of her hus-
band. The evidence Is purely circun.~
stantial, the only eye witness to the
tragedy being Blanks himself.
Blanks maintains that Nunnally first
shot him and then killed himself
Both balls, the one that wounded
Blanks and the one that killed Nun
naily were Aired from Nunnally's pis-
toll. Blanks had a revolver which he
did not use. The theory of the prose-
cution Is that Blanks obtained posses
sinp Of Nnpna1iy'g pistol while the
later was taking a drink from jug
in his room, and that he first shot
Nunnally and then himself The evil
dence before the coroner's jury tends
to prove this theory.
1t Is known that Nunnally on sew
eral occasions had said that he in
tended killing himself and the de-
Tense will contend that the tragedy
happened Just as Blanks said II did

AMERICAN CANADIAN

It must be apparent Ia all observant
and thoughtful people that in the ro-
ltical, social or commercial relation
ship between the United States and the
Dominion of Canada the keeping of
"a profit and loss account will be
throughout the future as impossible
as IL would be To keep "A similar ac-
count between the several states on
enc side of the border or between the
several provinces on the other side.

interests will. of course, lac maintained
