Open Letter on Prohibition From Virginia Anti Saloon League
The Virginia State Anti Saloon League sent a letter to gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidates asking their stance on the Mann bill and prohibition. James Cannon and the league’s executive committee request prompt replies, outlining whether candidates would support maintaining the Mann bill or related temperance measures. Cabell declines Ellyson’s primary claim and stays in the lieutenant governor race, saying he will fight to the end.

Linkous proclaimed innocence on the gallows after a night of religious reflection with his pastor and supporters. The crowd dispersed as the body was sent to Richmond for medical examination. Separately, Robert Bowles, colored, who killed John Ruff in Covington last year, was hanged in the Covington jail yard. Bowles left a deathbed confession asserting self defense. A government claim payment to Braddock Street Church in Winchester, and other regional notes complete the roundup of regional executions and civic items.
