NeUpn People Close Mouthed.
\ 'CIIARLOTT13SIVLLK. VA.. April
:<<?? Kx.-ieni- team Ion marks -every.,
titieraneo of the people of Oakrldge,
Nelson county, who. more than any
other people in Virginia, know the do
tails of the killing of Theodore Estcs
and the circumstances leading ex
Judge William tl. Loving in slay ilie
young.man. Of course, the homicide
is attributed to a real or fancied
wrong done by the dead young mer?
chant to the ox-Judge's daughter. The
facts connected with (his alleged ol
fense against morality have yet to
he laid hare.
This much only is known today:
Judge Loving undoubtedly though!
that Bstes bad outraged his daughter
when the. two were mil driving Sun?
day night.
"He brought her back drugged and
dishonored," says (he accused. "I did
not act on report, bin got it from her
own lips."
in other words, the aggrieved fath?
er insists that In did nol aci hastily,
and that he made a deliberate inves?
tigation before he determined to take
ihe law into his own hnnds.
Hard to Reconcile.
On the other hand, that is a con?
servative element in the county?ant*
K numbers many heads at Oakrieigo
?who cannot reconcile lOsies' conduct
what they fancy would be the attitude
of a man guilty of rape or attempted
rape. It Judge Loving was careful,
thoughtful anil calm in the manner
in which he made inquiries about the
supposed crime, and In his plans for
iho shooting, Bstes was no less so tn
the manner In which lie went about
his business that fatal day. He ap?
parently showed absolutely no signs
of a guilty conscious or of apprehen
siveness, and worked hard in the
trelght car which a few hours later
was to be his death prison and for
many hours his.bier. It should be
explained here that Theodore Estes
was no common laborer, but a well
connected, thrifty storekeeper, asso?
ciated In the merchandise business
with his aged father. Sheriff Kstes.
The latter did little work and rolled
almost entirely on the judgment and
industry t>f his twenty-Jive year old
son.
At Oakridge they say that .Turtgo
Loving's victim was Industrious, In?
telligent and steady in his habits.
One sweet-faced old gentleman, wno
seemed absolutely non-partisan, ex?
pressed himself thus:
"Theodore lOstes was the most in?
nocent boy I ever knew, and yet T
am constaincd to speak in equally
high terms of the man who killed
him. Judge Loving, though brave as
a lion, was not a man to act hastily,
as some have said. I can't think
his act was the impulse of his tem?
per."
Had Liquor Sunday Night.
Apropos of the charge that. Miss
Loving was drugged, it appears from
inquiries thta the drug, whatever i?
was, was administered in spirits of
some sort. Possibly the liquor rr
self might have helped to daze or
stupify the young woman.
Condition of Miss Loving.
No one at Oakrldge seemingly Is
Informed as to the exact condition of
the unhappy girl at this writing. It
appears that she has been examined
by Dr. Strother, of Lovlngston, a dis
, 1907.
j laut relative of tlie Culpe|)Cr Simile
I era." hut the physician for Ihn present
11 riiHi s 10 disclose his views about
the crime. , \
It Is said, however, that, although
Miss Loving was completely prosli.i
t<d for many hours, she was able to
ilitui'ii home with her mother on Mon?
day nllurnoon. One man says that
she was able lo go to the railroad sta?
tion in her neighborhood late Monday
alternoon, so it may bp thin no but
lllg III effects will follow her dread?
ful experiences.' According lo tho in?
formal lou gleaned at Onkridgo, ant
it was like drawing eye teeth lo got
it. the Couple went on the drive Stll'i*
day night, as tho weal her was balmy
aud warm. Those nocturnal oultng-t.
when the season permits, are no un?
usual thing in Nelson, nnd tlie young
people of die county frequently lake
them with the sanction if their el?
ders.
Out at Night Two Hours.
Karller In the day Ksr.m hid boon
out driving with his first oo'inlll, Miss
Annie Kldil, at whose house MiSil Lov?
ing was visiting. Tbu unfortunate
young woman, who was Hh Indirect
cause of the tragedy, left in tho vehi?
cle with her escort about S o'clock
and the two returned about "!0.
Miss Loy lug's condition til tbu llino
was such as to necessitate the sum?
moning of u physician. Esten, it is
said, volunteered to go for Dr. Stroth
or, and on seeing him, informed tho
latter tp a 'confidential way that her
ailment was not n serious one. It wnn
such, however, thut she. could not re?
turn home that night or early liiu
next day, and uch, too, as lo horri?
fy aud distress her father, who forth?
with began an Investigation.
Not until bo got the story from his
daughter's own lips did be decide
that the insult should bo avenged
by the death of the young man.
Her Conduct Always Decorous.
The Onkridgo people spenl< lu most
affect Innate terms 01 Miss Loving,
and are particular to comment on
bor ladylike manners and decorous
conduct, which are manifested nt all
times. It is for this reason that
they sympathize so deeply with hor
and her father.
Only One Idea?To Kill.
In all candor, however, It should Tie
said that there are some who think
Judge Loving should have nlloweir
j young ISstes at least a brief period
for explanation. The Incensed falli?
er, oner- he reached his conclusions,
cast usido nil thought or nmcnltlos
nnd started out with ono sole pur?
pose?to kill, or as one witness nays,
to shoo; down the supposed denter
of his daughter us though the littler
W'Z^^^y--VJiu'Prosecute.' '
It does not appear that tho Hates
family hud any attorney nt Ihn ex?
amination, though II Is hinted Hint
they will be heard from at tho trial,
und that a tremendous effort wlil no
made to clear the dead man's nnmo
I of I he hideous imputation which now
befouls it. There is a striking aha*
ogy between the Loylng-Esteia an.:
the Slrotiior-llywatcrs homicides, in
both oases, which grew out of charges
n I meint similar, tlie act ton was sharp

Looking to the Trial.
Just as Mrs. fly waters was the all
Important wit urns in Culpeper, so
Miss Loving will be the all-imporlnnl
witness in the Nelson trial. Judge
Lnving's fate nt the hnneis of u Jury
soomlngly depends entirely upon
what his daughter told him. Tlie
information lipon which he acted
will he tho gist of tlie Issue, though
the testimony of the physician shouln
also throw a vnsl deal If light on the
conduct of young Estes.
Inquest Merely Formal.
The Nelson homicide was first in?
quired Into Monday night by Magis?
trate T. It. M. Perkins, who, acting
In the capacity of coroner, held an
inquest. Tlie jury, after examlnmg
several witnesses, brought in a ver?
dict which briefly stated that Estes
cnnie lo his death through wounds
from a gnu tired by Judge Loving.
The preliminary examination was
waived pending the in quest. The ,uu
lilated corpse of the young man
lay in Seaboard Air Line b.)V
car 24,625, where be met his
death.
It would seem that few shots from
