Ilnng Faithless Wives.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 22. That the
law should provide capital punish
ment for faithless wives Is the de
mand of C. M. owles, a prominent
citizen of Toano, which has aroused
a fierce controversy tn the Richmond
newspapers.
The session of circuit court to com
mence September 21 wHI be the first
one since the law was enacted which
t
takes the power of Indictment from
the district attorneys and leaves It
entirely with grand juries.
In view of this 'fact the coming Jury
term of court will be of much mors
than ordinary significance. At that
time the new system will be given Its
first trial In this county and the work
of the grand Jury will be watched
with Interest.
Just what is to come before the
grand Jury in September Is something
that is not being advertised very
widely. In fact there is no way of
telling at this time Just what cases
will be brought because the field will
be open to all and there is yet lots of
time for cases to be developed.
But that there will be a multitude
of cases for the seven grand Jurors
to Investigate Is freely admitted by
District Attorney Phelps. This
morning he prohesled that It will re
quire at least a week or 10 days for
the grand Jury to finish its work and
it may be that the grand Jury inves
tigations will compleedy overshadow
all other business at the September
session.
Naturally the grand Jurw will have
to investigate many cases wherein the
prohibition law has been violated.
Already some complaints along this
line have been laid before the district
attorney and there is no doubt but
that the grand Jury will have to pass
on many "blind pig" cases. The facts
connected with these cases will be
made known Inside the grand 1urv
room.
Light Criminal Docket.
Were It not for the grand Jury in
vestigations there would not be much
to the September court session. At
present there are but three or four
cases awaiting trial and these are
not of great importance. Warren
Stephens, Melvin Huck and Guy Hayes
will be tried for cattle stealing.
Quinn of Hermiston is under Indict
ment, for a serious offence and Asa
Van Winkle's case will be investigat
ed by the grand Jury.
