Tho trial Will not lie concluded this

other <>r the riot loaders, Is to be tried
during this term of the court. Union
was the owner of the store In which
tho negroes Congregated and which
was bluffed by the whites during the
trouble.
Tito imost sensational foilluro of
the t'lal today was the action of Judge
Blackstono In denouncing Governor
Swnnson from the honch for sending
troops to Onancock without having
been requested so 10 do by the au?
thorities of tho county of Accomac.
"It was the net of a spectacular (!ov
ernor frequently given to spontaneous
combustion." said Judge Blnckstonc.
He said that this action on the pa-'t
of iho Governor was a blot on the
fair name of Accomac county and
maintained that twenty good men
COIlld have done more in putting an
end to any disturbance than all (lie
boy soldiers who were sent to the
Kastern Snore, of whom many were
ton young to carry a gun.
These remarks on the part of the
trial judge were brought forth upon
the application or Attorneys Jeff rips
and Wllcox of Norfolk, attorneys for
the defense, for n change of venue in
the ground that a fair anil Impartial
trial was Impossible In Accomac on
account of the Intense fooling engen?
dered agalnat the prisoner by reason
of Ihciitlot. The motion was ?nfiiscdi
the judge taking tho occasion to
score the Governor for his interfer?
ence in the matter nnd maintaining
thai the entire affair had been great?
