, The Case OF Mrs. Hall.


Editor virginian:
sir--Permit me to call your attention 10
the news item In your issue Of July 10 under
the heading Mrs Halls Counsel Succeeds In
Delaying Trial. in which the following APP
pears: Several theories have been advanced as
10 how Hall murdered. Mrs Hall claims
that she Heard a shot fired in the store beneath
their living room, and that she rushed down
stairs and into the place to find her husband
stretched out upon the floor dead" This state
ment is untrue and will not be supported by
any Of the Commonwealth evidence on the
trial Again, the following appears: Neigh
bors who are free to express their opinion
have advanced the theory that Hall was mur
dered by his wife In their living room and then
dragged the store, They claim that the pc
culiar position in which he lay, together with
the blood stains on Mrs. Halls clothes. plainly
testify TO this fact pistol was found by his
side with chamber empty. The physical
facts in the contradict this statement also
and there is no contention the part of the
Commonwealth that pistol was found by Halls
side. Again, that article continues. "On April
10 the of w. r. Dunkun, situated just
across the railroad track from that of Halls
and a competitor burned shortly after mid
night; about two and one half hours later
Victor Hall murdered; the of his
murder. told by those who believe Mrs. Hall
guilty. was that he had learned that Mrs. Hall
had set fire to the burned store. and that he
had told her he would tell. His lips
sealed say they because of this fact Victor
Hall good terms with Dunkum, while
his wife not" Now whose theory Is this
Who are they who say that Victor Halls lips
thus sealed and who will testify that
ictor Hall good terms with the
Dunkums while his wife not?
Again. your correspondent continues SHORTY
after this Mrs. Hall released bail Of
$4,000 furnished by her father-in-aw and by
Lindsay Gordon. who retained by her
counsel" The truth is that Mrs. Halls bonds

Without quoting further from this article II
is apparent from its beginning to its end that it
lis effort the part of the writer to produce
the impression that she is guilty.
No names are given to warrant any of these
damaging statements, and I venture to say
that be given of any responsible per
persons
The has been set, this article shows,
for trial the 2Sth of this month. when a
fury supposed to be impartial will be chosen
to try the case and all fairminded men, whether
they believe in Mrs Halls guilt innocence,
desire that she secure impartial Jury.
Such news items as yours tends to prevent
this and I writing to ask that in justice to
Mrs Hall that you will not permit the columns
Of your paper to be used for such purpose
In the future.
