MUST SERVE TEN YEARS.
Court Of Appeals Denies Writ of Err
ror in Mrs. Halls Case.

Richmond. Nov. 13.-Mrs. Eliza
1beth Hall, sentenced to the peniten-
tiarv for ten years for numbering her
husband. Victor Hall, at Green Spring
Depot, in Louisa county, on the morn
inc. Of April 14th, was yesterday de-
! MED a writ of error by the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
+ The announcement was made, from
the bench by Judge Richard h Caro-
well, acting president in the absence
of Judge Keith.
This decision estops further pro-
ceedings in the case Mrs Hall must
20 to the penitentiary Immediately
and begin serving her term. An Or
der will be prepared and transmitted
to the clerk of the Louisa Circuit
Court, who will call for the surrender
Of Mrs. Hall by her bondsmen. Ac-
companied by a penitentiary guard
Mrs Hall will then be brought to
Richmond and committed to prsion.
Since her conviction Mrs. hall mas
spent the greater part of her time at
Louisa Courthouse, though she has
made numerous visits to the home OF
Victor's parents near Green Spring
Depot.
Mrs. Halls trial consumed eleven
days. It was one of the most bitterly
fought in the criminal annals Of the
state. Mrs. Hall was represented
| by Gordon g. Gordon, of Louisa, and
| Hill Carter, of this city. The Com
monwealth was represented by Will
liam Bibb, assisted by NJ. j. Fulton,
of Richmond.
The evidence upon which Mrs. Hall
was convicted was purely circumstan-
tial. There was no absolute and po-
sitive proof that she murdered her
husband, but the jury, after hearing
the evidence, did not believe that
Victor Hall was killed by anyone else;
they believed that, despite the alb
sence of "eye witnesses proof all
reasonable doubt of innocence was
removed.
Mystery of the deepest sort sur
rounded the murder CT the Green
Spring merchant, and it is doubtful
if the grewsome details of the trag-
edy will ever be known.
Mrs. Hall swore to the last that
her husband had been killed by a
mid night intruder. She at first said
the murderer was a burglar. Later
she indicated that she might know
the identity Of the murderer, buS
she refused to name him.
