In Sentencing Prisoner in Lexington Court,, He Utters Unusual State ments From Bench. The State. Lexington, Sept. 20.-"Not guilty" was the verdict in the case of M. B. Buff, the Confederate soldier, who was placed on trial yesterday in the ses sions court together with his son, Artie Buff, for assault and battery with in tent to kill. "Guilty of aggravated as sau't," was the verdict as to Artie Buff. At the opening of court this morn ing the case was resumed, and by 11 o'clock the arguments had been con cluded and the case placed in the hands of the jurors. It was 5 o'clock when the verdict was reached. This is the case in which Miss Malissa Buff, daughter of M. B. Buff, admitted that she fired the shots at John Hendrix, Jr., because he had se duced her under promise of marriage. Her testimony was dramatic at times and she was the star witness for the I defense. The father and son, as well as all of the other members of the household, corroborated the young wo man's statement. Judge Gage immediately sentenced young Buff to pay a fine of $100 or serve 60 days in jail. In the course of his remarks to the prisoner, Judge Gage stated that he regretted very much that there was not a law in this State permitting the shooting of a man like a mad dog, who had seduced a woman. "The man who seduces a woman under the promise of marriage and then fails to marry I her is the lowest sort of a villain," he declared. He stated that he regretted very much that it was not in his pro vince to give young Hendrix five years on the chaingang. FAIR PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
