W. Sarlandt, a white farmer whose home is about three miles from New Bern on Trent Road. Th$ cowardly deed was committed early Sunday morning in the city of New Bern, and is claimed to have been the work of three white men, Messrs Clyde Kennedy, Alex Curtis and Sid Gautier. These three men in company with E. W. Sarlandt On Saturday night went out on one of their usual brawls. After paying visits to sev eral resorts, they wound up on Crooked street, at the store of C, C. Bryan, colored, who conducts a mer cahtile business. - They asked the proprietor if he had any objection to their stopping under the shed un til E. W. Sarlandt could go and get some whiskey. No objections, they remained. . While waiting for the return of Sarlandt with the liquor several comments were made as to what would take place if the deceas ed did not show up. Sarlandt soon appeared on the scene with a quart bottle of gin. This was opened and all hands soon drank the contents of the bottle, which fired them up to the top notch. The result was a quarrel took place and it ended in the death of E. W. Sar-H landt The deceased told Kennedy that hie dog bit him on the face.. . This made Kennedy mad and he disputed the remark and accompanied it with vile oath. This, was resented by Earlandt, Kennedy rushed to a feneft and" piffle off- -paling and ,. deal Sarlandt several- blows on the head which caused him to sink to the ground In an unconscious condition . The disturbance was reported to the police. Officer Rowe went to the scene and was met by all parties to the affair, Canady, Curtis and Gau tier. They assured the officer that there was no trouble only Sarlandt was dead drunk and they all being friends were trying to get the man home. One of the party went to Five Points and secured a transfer driver by the name of Ed Jones, col ored. The carriage was driven to Crooked street ' where the wounded man was still lying on the ground Jones did not want to take the job but was forced to carry Sarlandt just out side of j.ne city limits where his body was deposited on the grass near the Ghent Street Railway car barn, and no doubt left there believing him to be dead. Sarlandt's body was first discover ed by Artemus Jones, a motorman on the street car line. He immediately reported his finding to the author! ties and after an investigation of the whole affair officers Ipock and Rowe arrested Alex Curtis and Sid Gau 0atme4l mm Pa Vnwr.l last night for Falmouth, a British port.

The members of the Federal Reserve Board were sworn In today. ' HEAT WAVE LAS Verdict of Murder in First De gree is Returned Against Virginia Woman. SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS IN PRISON LOUISA, VA., Aug. 9. Mrs. Vic tor Hall was Saturday afternoon found guilty of second degree mur der and her punishment fixed at ten years in the penitentiary, , on the charge of killing her husband on April 15 at Green Springs. Attor ney M. J. Fulton, of Richmond, con cluded the case for the prosecution at 3 o'clock and one hour later the verdict was rendered by the jury. The Hall murder mystery was the most sensational case ever heard in Louisa county and will be regarded as one of the famous criminal cases of Virginia. While the lack of mo tive was never in evidence, the cir cumstances leading up to the crime and the actions of the prisoner after the murder made a chain of evidence that neither the eloquence nor the skill of the two learned attorneys could overcome. It was shown that Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hall were alone on the lower floor of their home on the night of April 14. The store of W. R. Dun kum, across the Chesapeake and Ohio railway tracks, from the Hall home, was discovered on fire at mid night. The store was completely de stroyed, and at 4 o'clock the alarm was given by Mrs. Hall that her hus band had been shot. The dead man's pistol was found in the bureau drawer in the bedroom, and the body was found just outside the bedroom, with a bullet hole in the back of the head. The coroner's inquest did not mention any one as the possible mur derer. Detectives and county offi cials went to work on the case and on May 15 a special grand jury indicted- Mrs. ..Haifc.,-.. The accused woman, in describing the killing, said her husband was awakened at 4 o'clock by some one knocking at the store door. He got up and went from his bedroom to the store adjoining. In a short while, Mrs. Hall said she heard her hus band cry out, "Oh, Lordy," and this was followed by a pistol shot. When she opened the door, she found her husband "all crumpled up" on the floor. Her explanation was that a burglar shot him. The burglary theory was exploded as being utterly improbable. Mrs. Hall moved a lot of things out of her house on May 14 and that night the house was discovered to be on fire on the inside, fifteen minutes af ter she left the house with the fam ily. It was contended by the prose cution that Mrs. Hall set the house afire to burn up the physical evi dence of the murder. The case attracted widespread at tention, largely because a woman was accused of the terrible crime. The trial lasted two weeks, lacking one day, and developed a brilliant legal battle. M. J. Fulton, of Rich mond, assisted Commonwealth's At torney Bibb and Hill Carter, of Richmond, who assisted in the de fense of Henry Clay Beattie, assist ed R. Lindsay Gordon for the de fense. The scene in court after the ver dict was rendered was very pitiable. Mrs. Hall broke down completely, while one of her little daughters clung to Judge Shackleford and beg ged piteously for her condemned mother. It was possibly the sad dest scene ever witnessed in Louisa county. Attorney Gordon announced that he would appeal the case to the Su preme court. It is understood that efforts will be made to get the Commonwealth' not to prosecute two alleged charges of arson against Mrs. Hall, one to charge her with burning the station building at Green Springs and the other with attempting to burn her own home.
