MUST SERVE THREE YEARS
Charles Foster. Of Rappahannock,
Convicted of Grave Crime.

Richmond, Jan 6-Charles Foster
of Rappahamock county, must serve
a term of three years in the State
penitentiary for having abducted
Lula Foster, OF that county, from
her fathers home for immoral pur-
poses.
Twice has the man been tried, the
first jury failing to agree. The sec
ond time he was given three years IN
the penitentiary. 1t is from this that
his counsel sought relief in the Su-
preme Court of Appeals, but that
tribunal yesterday failed to find any
faul, in the trial and affirmed the
verdict of the jury by declining to
grant an appeal.
The crime was committed last year
and the man was last tried in De-
ccmber. There is nothing Tor MIN
now but the pcnitentiary. Inc g'rl
is alleged to have been under the
are of sixteen years.

WOULD BURN HIS BODY
Want 10 Cremate Suicide Who Kill
led Woman and Three Children

Luray, Va, Jan G-Though plans
have been completed for the burial
OF Mrs. Charles Burner and her three
children, who were murdered in their
mountain home, about five miles
from this place, Saturday night by
William Nichols, the murderer then
committing suicide, nothing had been
done at noon yesterday regarding the
disposition of Nichols body.
Though the scene Of the quadruplc
murder is IN rather an inaccessible
part of Page county, hundreds VI
pcople have visited the Burner home
in the last two days many Of them
Going then to the neighboring place
Of Wesley Price, where in an out
house, the body of Nichols is lying
William Nichols was son OF
Christopher NICHOLS 70 Rappahan-
mock county. He served three years
in the penitentiary short time ago
for forgery. Recently he lost leg
in q railway accident. He was en-
r.,oyed on the Burner pace, and IS
supposed to have killed Mrs. Burner
and her three children because the
woman would not desert her home
and elope with him.
But for the fact that the murder
er's body is in building belonging
to Wesley Price, it is probable thai
if would have been soaked with oil
and burnt. There are a good many
people here who have openly said
that they would burn the body where
II lies were it not for the fact that
Prices properly would be destroyed

of their mother, Mrs. w. Ii. Bentley.
Mrs. Bentley was pioneer of Elko

TO the sorrowing relatives we ex-
tend sincerest sympathy Although

years and her hair kissed with snowy
whiteness, she was still loved and

her sons and daughters were little
children about her knees.
