O'clock To

CASE SET FOR APRIL
Nolle Pros Entered in Cases of Three
Other Dry Agents?Jury Had Case
Since 5.30 Last Night.
The jury in the case of Hall was
unable to agree and discharged* by
Judge Brent at 11 o'clock this morn
ing. Hall's case will again be called j
at the April term of the court.
The cases against the three other
prohibition inspectors charged with
being implicated in the shooting were
nolle prossed. ?
Manassas, ,Va.. Jan. 2.?With
every indication pointing to either
a hung jury or an acquittal for the
defendant, the 'trial of William G.
Hall, State prohibition inspector, ac
cused of the killing of Lawrence
Hudson in Shenandoah county last
March, was brought to a dramatic
close here last night.
At 3:50 o'clock the case went to
the jury after attorneys for the
State and the prohibition depart
ment had spoken five hours for and
against conviction. Shortly after
6 o'clock the jury was locked up for
the night. Judge Samuel G. Brent,
of Alexandria, who presided, noti
fied the jurors that in case they
reached a verdict at once h? would
remain over to receive it.
\ .Shortly after 7 a'elock word was
iSent to him by the foreman that
\ there was no prospect of the jury
\ reaching a decision before morning,
pnd the jury was instructed to re
port at 10:15 o'clock tomon*ow
morning. Interest in Manassas was
at. white heat in the trial yesterday,
and during the afternon a suffoca
ting crowd battled its way into the
courtroom.
Several hunderd spectators were
compelled to stand during the five
hours the lawyers recited in dra
matic fasshion the story of the kill
ing of Raymond D.?Shackelford and
Lawrence Hudson on the night of
March 25 at Fisher's Hill, on the
Valley turnpike, near Winchester.
Judge Brent finally ordered the
doors closed so that the commotion
among the spectators might not dis
turb the jurors. * v
.Judge Brent warned the jury that
no personal feelings regarding pro
hibition should have any effect on
(the verdict.
The .argument for the prosecu
tion was made by Commonwealth's
Attorney Thomas Lion. Attorney J.
M. Bouserman and Judge F. S.
Tavenner. The defense's case was
argued by ' Attorneys Wendenburg,
Walton and Meets.
Judge Brent at the conclusion of
the argument, told the jury they
might deliberate until 7:15 o'clcck.
Jf; they had reached no agreement
hy that time, he said, they were to
lock(*I up for the night, to report
the next morning!
Judge Brent later was informed
that the jury* would be unable to
come to definite conclusions.

Virginia Legislators Will Begin Meet
ing With Warm Speakership Con
lost?Important Bills Will Come up.
Richmond, Jan. 2.?In two weeks
the Central Assembly will bw'm 'ts
regular session. Good roads, the
budget and education are among the
more important questions for con
sideration, but the "storm" of the
gathering is expected to center
about the oflice of the State < om- i
missioner of Prohibition, now held
by the Rev. J. Sidney Peters.
Whether or not the. department is'
to be continued or abolished, is ex
pected to furnish considerable of
the debate. This question played a
prominent part in the election of
several of the members of the As
sembly and the contest began before
the voters of the State in the last
legislative elections will, in all prob
ability, be carried to the floors ot
both branches of the Legislature.
A new Speaker is 'to be dry en.
This will be a prelude to the ex
pected "big fight." Candidates for
this honor are Richard L. P.rewet,
cf Nansemond. chairman of the An
prppriatiens Committee, and an old
member, and E. Kenneth Gilpi". or
Clarke, a comuarativcly new mem
ber, who served in the aviation ser
vice in the recent war.
Mr. Brewer will have the support |
of the Peters forces, while Mr. ,
Gilpin is understood to^be committed j
in his campaign to' the abolition of j
the State Department* of Prohibition
The new budget system may ex
ercise a direct bearing on the fight
over maintenance or abolition < ?. the
department s<s, under the s\>.em.
Governor Davis is empowered to
recommend what ever appropriation
he deems sufficient for prosecuting
the . work of the department, or .
whether any appropriation* should be
made. ...
E.-P. Buford. of Lawrence-vide, a
newly elected member of the. Leg
islature, is on record as having pre
pared a bill looking to aboliticn of ,
the Prohibition Department.. Both I
the followers of the policy of Mr. |
Buford "and the backers of Commis
sioner Peters appear to be confident
of success.
f H Morrissette. director of
the ' Legislative Reference Bureau,
said, yesterday that he exported
more than TOO bills of all descrip
tions-general and special acts-to
be submitted to the com in- session
of the General Assembly. To date.
Mr Morrissette already has pre
pared over 100 bills, some of vhicn
have as their patrons Richmond
members of the House and Senate.
The new/code of Virginia becomes
effective January l;b the day bet ore
the Legislature assembles, and Mr.
Morrissette stressed the fact that,
all bills amendatory of present gen
