History and Details of the Murder, Trial and Conviction—A Wife Shot and Strangled to Death in the Woods—Respited Twelve Times and Hung at Last, RicuMmonn, July 22, 1870. Justice, stern justice, has at last overtaken James Jeter Phillips, the murderer of the wife he had sworn to love, honor and protect, Twelve times he bad been in the very shadow of death, from which he was rescued by respites; twice he heard the car- enters at work on the scatfoid that was being pre- pared toushcr him into another world; but to-day there was no respite, the work was not done In Vain, and che murderer whose Inhuman deed has no Parallel in the annals of crime suffered the extreme Penalty of the law in the jail yard of Henrico sounty, A COLD AND BLOODY MURDER, Y In “Detnker’s Woods,” Henrico county, about four Miles east of itichmoud, on the la t day of February, 1869, was found the mutilated body of a woman, young aud fair, her head pierced by o bullet, her throat having the impress of the bloody flagers that bad clutched 1s to stifle the death shmek. Cold and Stark she lay, her clached hands grappling the earth In the death agony, Ler glazed eyes staring at the blue heavens as though mutely appealing for re- teibution upon the murderer. Soon afier the di covery of the Lody the usail corones's inquest Was held, but, being a stranger, no clue could be obtained to the murdered woman's tden- tity, and two days aiterwards she was buried on Turner's farm, in the vicinity of the spot where the bloody deed was perpetrated. ‘But the popular heart was thriied with horror, aud acry of indignation that so barvarous a deed should be passed over went up from the surrounding coun- try. So universal and so great was this that nine days after the burial the decomposed and lacerated corpse was disinterred, exhibited at the county Court House and viewed by the entire community. A few persons thonght they recognized in the vie tum the person of Jennie Edwards, a well kuown frail women; but inquiry proved thay Jennie was alive, and, without being identified, the mangled body was laid by siranger hands to rest im Oakwood Cemetery, the cruel mystery baffling all attempts atsoiution. The oMcers, though With the instinct of b.oodhounds, had no clue to work upon, and a shroud of impenetrable mystery settied down upon the deed and upon the murdered dead, Months nad elapsed, and every effort failed to discover even the namo of the victim. The assassin doubtiess telicitated himself that the secret of his terrible crime was forever buried in his gwity bosom; but justice was upon his track, and, stern and unrelenting, seized her prey. The vell that hud 80 long shrouded the horrid mystery was slowly iifte!, and the dramatis persone of the tragedy Were ushered on the stage. FIRST CLUE TO THE MYSTERY. Early in the following June a tr.fling accident afforded a clue which was quietly but energetically followed up. Upon George Turner’s farm, where the body was first interred, resided, as man- ager or overseer, James Jeter Phillips, a young man reiaied to the family by the Marriage of his brower to one of the Misses Turner. He was an ex-Confcderate soldier, ol respectable family and good character; was well formed, tall, Father good looktug, aul, taougi moderately edu- cated, Was guile @ :avorile among the country dum- sels In Whose society he moved. Following the ex- ample of nis brother, he pai his adresses to Miss ‘Turner, Who was seemingly infatuated by his attrac- tions, But ‘the course of true love never docs run stnooth.” By some extraordinary decree of fate a letter addressed to Phillips fell into the hands of one o/ the Turners, and was clandes- tinely perused, the letter purporung to be from his wile in Besex county. So ioug aud intimate, how- ever, had been his acyuuitance with the famiiy, and so well had he kept js secret and played bis part, that no importance was attached to ue letter, Which was discredited, Not so with Miss Turne: She was stung with jealousy, and she quictly re- solved to probe the @fiir. Ble addressed, over a Acuuous signature, @ letter to Phillips’ correspon- dent in Essex county, and :ecelved in reply the fol- Jowing lettcr, coniaining details so minute and posi- Uve as to leave no doubt that her suitor was a luar- Ted man:— THE TRLL-TALR LETTER, Woov..an, Essex County, Va., May 2h, 1808, To Miss Leah, though 1 believe 1 am writing tv Miss Cora Phillips, a sister of Jeter’s, as I reco; handwriting ‘of Mr. Joe Philips, ax be stayed with us some curing the war My maiden name was Mary imma Pitts, ned to Mr. Jamen Jeter Philips on tse Inst July—nearly a year mo.

This letter, together with a note passionately up- braiding him for his hi artiess decepiiou and deep viliauy, Miss Turner ts said to to have handed Patl- ups, Who received it wiih il'-conceaied mortification, though he made no rejly whatever. Despite the measures adopied by the Tu ners, who, for family reasons, kipt his marriage secre, tue fact soon bé- caine Koown In the neighbvoriood, and afterwards it Was common gossip. With th stelue oiicer Willian Knox, a skilful detective, set to work dingentiy, and he succeeded in unravelitug the following very ROMANTIC STORY:— Towards the laiter part of the war Jam Phillips, thea a soldier im the Confederate cavalry service, beinz in fceble health obtained @ sick fur- Joagh and took up his quarters in the house of Mra. Pitts, in Essex couity, a widow lady, with several mairiage.ble dauglvers. One of these, Mary Emily Pitts, (ook a special interest in the young Soldier Whom the tide of crnei war had dritted to their door, aud during # severe 11 ness nursed him with untiring care, smoothed his fevered brow with her genuie hand aud hung over bis pillow Iie a ministering angel, forestatiing hs slightest wish, Under such devoted attention the invalid recovered, and, pel haps mistakinz fur a warmer felling the gratitude he entertained for his ‘ai- preserver, he wooed her ardently. She was Intelligent, warm-hearted and like most of girls somewhat romantic. Pity bad ripened tuto love, and, responding favorably to his suit, they were betrothed, and, shortly afier the ter- mination o1 the war, married. He, however, soon ured of bis young wile, and, pioceeding to tuls cily, ob tained empioyiueut at ‘Turner's, as above narrated. For more than two years Philips strenuonsly con- cealed his mavrriagé irom his relatives, his brief vi-lis to his wife being accounted for upon the plea of urgent Dusiness in other poritons of the State His wile’s relatives were greatly incensed at lis con tinued absence, but he pleaded necessity, and, with a loving Woman's devotion, she was ever Nis de- fender, and beguiled the weary hours by writing him tong letters or poriog over his photograpn, ignoraut that he was betraying her and playing the gallant to anotber tady as a single man. THE MURDERER AND HIS VICTIM, Some months after the discovery of his marriage by Miss Turner, Philips visited his wie in Kssex county about the Ch. istmas of 1566, and remained there until the 15th of Fevruary, 1867, when, incom. pany with her, ie 116 tor his father’s, in Surrey county, yia this city, the poor unsuspecting and confiding woman rejoicing at the reanion with her husband and at the prospect of meeting his rela- tives, whom, as she sa.d in the letter to Miss Turner (supposing she was addressing his sister), sie “loved for Jeter’s sake.’ ‘They arrived 1 this city on the same day, and stopped at the Virginia House, on Grace street, remaimiug until Sunday afternoon. Betove teaving, however, Pulllips visited an acquaint- ance named Templeman, from whom he borrowed @ pistol, and tnough he calied upon a large nuinber of friends he studiously coucealed the fact of his wife’s presence in the city from all of tem, About four o'clock that evening Phillips and his wife left the Virginia House, an vores out Franklin street in the company of her husban Was the last time Mrs. Philips was seen alive, Numerous letters were receiveu by his. wife's family drom Phillips after their departure, the last dated May 14, 1867, all purporting to be written from Dor- set's farm, in Chesterfield county, and chiefly re- Yerring to household affairs aud incidents of family interest, so copious as to preciude a doubt of their truth. And yet these deceptive letters were written at Turner's months after the discovery of the mur- dered woman at Drinker’s farm. These letters spoke of the neighbornood as sickly and of “Em” as in feeble health, thus evidentiy wing the way for the announcement of her deatir by disease, T OF THE MURDERER. Such was the cuaningly devised pian of the mur- aerer to ward olf suspicion by this systematic tissue of falsehood and sheer aeception, body of the murdered woman laid tw: outhouse at Torner’s, Where Phillips was, he never evinced @ curiosity conceruing it; while afterwards, #0 peculiar was his manuer, so deep his interest in the proceedings, so earnest his inquiries in ra; to the discovery of any ciue to the iventity of the Victim, that ine suspicions of Mr. Drinker, upon Whore farm the body was discovered, were aroused. He communicated ‘hem wo tie oMcers, who soon obtained the correspondence above atluded w, and pier Wrinog (© parues jy Kosex NEW YORK HERALD.

Thronghout his whole imprisonment Philltps has exhibited all the characteristics of a heartless, cola- blooded wreteh. Ub two occasions only did he show the slightest emotion, wien he was arrested, and When the sentence of death was passed upon ‘him, ana then only by changing color for instant. Buortly after the prelimiuary examination the brother and sister of the murdered woman were taken Lo the cell of the prisoner, and were ushered in by @-constable, and here the cold-hearted inonster was, fully portrayed in the duct of the murderer. With perfect coolness he advanced, and with outstretched hands asked:— “How are you, Frauk?’ “How are you, Roxy?’ whereupon both drew back, the brewer exciauning, “Dou’t touch him, Roxy.” Philips bung lis head at this, repeating the words, “Dont tonch me,” and retired to another part of the cell. Miss Roxy Pitts then satd:— “Mr. Philips, where is my slater whom you took a us on the Lith of February last??? but without eleiting a reply. ‘ Pe Philips to Mr. Frank Pitts—‘When did you leave oie 1?” Mr. Pitts—*fome!

Miss left at home a broken-hearted mother and sister Who have not tasted food since Saturday. You have disgraced one motner and broken auother’s heart.” ‘The prisoner dropped his head and the Jady continued, ‘Here we stand, side by side, with a just God looking down upon us; can you depy that you murdered my sister!” Pnillips —“‘I refer you to my counsel for an answer to that.” This was said with the determined cool- ess of a wretch inured to crime aud devoid of all the finer feelings of humanity. Miss Pitcs—*'1 left at home @ mother who wants to know the last words of her dying daughter. What did my sister say?” Phillips sul remained silent, and the brother and sister arose to go, Miss Pitis exclaiming, as she paused at the door, “Look at the guilty wretcy,”” +4 God! my God! could he offer me the hand that clasped my sister's throat and stifled her cries in deatar’? Phillips then turned away, and this patoful visit soon terminated without any practical result. ‘The brother and sister then tarned to go, tue former re- marxg:— ough you have murdered my sister I cannot but cominiserate your condition, You have brought sorrow to two faiuilies, but the disgrace will rest ouly on your own, Come, sister, let us leave this ‘poor, polluted wretch,” and they lett the murderer a@ione 10 tue solitude oF his cell. THE TRIAL. Piiliips bad had one irial, ta whieh the jury were unable to agree in such & case and with such an array of the most convincing proois. At the Arst trial it Was with great diileully Uiat a jury could be empauelied in Henrico county, almos! every one being faily convinced of the guiit of the prisoner; but at leagih twelve men were sworn in, two of whom were so intimately conuected with Nin and family that It was generally predicted it would be a hanging jury, and aiters trial of some weeks auration the popular opinion proved correct. at the next trial the excitenient was inten: hal of ihe House of Delegates, where it was held, being deasely crowded each day, and so damaging was the evidence that the empanciling of a jury even from reinvie portions of the Slate proved almost an tnpossibility, but it was atiength effected. The evidence for the prosecution proved tit marriage, his concealment thereof, bis addresses to Miss Turner and her dis- covery of his marriage, his last visit to iis wife, his departure with her, and their arrival in this city, where they spent Saturday and portion of Sunday, the Loth and 17th of Pepruary, 1867; nat he borrowed @ pistol on Saturday; that 12 company with bis wife he left the hovel on Sunday afternoon, and beth were seen Dear sunset @ mile distant on the our skirts of the eagiern ee of the city, procecding iu the direction of the spot where the body was found. The identity of the murdered woman with Mrs. Phillips was proved'so conclusively (hat the defence wei compesed to admit the fuct. The leite.s written by Phillips mouths aftertne murder, in which he represented himseif as living with his wife at an imaginary place in another county, told terri- bly against him, especially when taken in coune tion with his refusal to make any explanation re- garding his wife. The SCENE OF THY MURDER was visited by the Court, jury aud counsel on both sides, your correspondent accompanying the party atthe ime. The spot where the murdered woman was discovered was but @ short distance from ‘Luraer’s honse, @ litile nook embowered fn verdant shrabs, a kind of opening leaciag to a military road which @ few yards distant connects with the main road, Into this opening it iy supposed the poor, funted down creature, misled in her bind desire to escape the cruel death blows that wee belag showered upon her thick aud fast, rushed, hoping, purchase~vain hope !—to secrete herself wind the sheilering woods whose robust hearts were not so bard as that which beat iu her husband's bosom. THE MURDERER, Phillips, was present in the hall of the House of Delegates eacn day while his trial lasted. He was remarkably Gool aud Co.lected, periaps the most so of the large crowd present, and was seemingly the most disinterested person in the assemblage. He Was ueatly and respectably atured, wore the air end fad the bearing of a gentleman, and nothing beyond a certain sinister expression of the eye. that is indescribable could be discerned in his features suggest with the perpetration of so hor- rid acrime, ‘he prisouer 13 tal, rather sienaer, with an oval-shaped tac’ i ‘ and well cnt, with a amail but well-defined nose, eyes a shade between bine and gray, if there can be such @ color, with heavy lashes, and a capacions ed by overhanging masses of black wavy hatr. tt was in the heavy massive lower jaw and the firm mouth, however, that the physi- ognomist could discover strongly marked traces of cruelty, though scarcely approaching the deed for whichghe was condemned to die. WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. All the requirements being Coucluded the case was given to the jury in the afternoon, ‘The court room Was the next morning thronged to suffocation with a feverishly excited crowd. ‘Tae prisoner occupied hi seat, bat stil preserving his won- An hour creeps by and the ence are playing their parts in the grand drama of “waiting for the verdict.” An hour passed and a message cliclts the response that the jury are not ready.

He sat calm and un- moved, # silght flush only relieving Ge ee of his cheeks, catsed by confinement, foreman hauded to the clerk the fatal paper on which was inscribed the verdict, and in a clear voice that offl- clal read “Guilty of murder in the first degree,” ‘The prisoner’s coolness did not desert him even in this trying moment, and he left the court room with ® Grm step and collected air. THE DEATH SENTENCE, On the following morning the prisoner was ordered to stand up, and as he did 80 every eye was. riveted on his face. His strange eye was steady; his lips were compressed and lis face alternate! pallid and flushed, but amid the trying ordeal he reserved his composure with remarkable success, ‘ne clerk then said:—‘James Jeter Philiips, you have been fudtced for the murder of your wife, tried and convicted of murder in the first by ey have ie anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?” With a manner perfectly composed, but in a hus} tone of voice, the prisuaer, alter clearing bis throat replied:—Notiting but to protest my inuocence be- fore God and man.” He then sank into his seat, but was again ordercd to rise, when the Judge, amid a deatinke sttitness, procecded solemuiy aud impressively to pase sen- tence upon the prisoner.

Underwood ranted the writ, a3 he did in the cases of Sally nderson and Cesar GriMn, two murderers who subsequently escaped their just doom by his partisan decisions, “Notwithstanding the writ, however, the Sheriff of Henrico county announced his tntention to hang Phillips on the day fixed in the last respite; ut Hearly at the last moment Governor Wells again rescued Philips almost from the very bye spiting him until the 19th of ‘Thus, upou & mere technicality of the no way aifected the justice of th felon, convicted of the most ai to the law, Was again giv: an aevual prospect of ultimat authorities then carried this singular ease to the Supreme Court of the United States, and, pending & decision there, the condemned was respitert y TEN THMKS, | the last expiring Friday, duly 1, under the dectsion of Judge Underwood.

HE TWELFTH AND LAST RESPITE was granted by Governor Waiker on the 28th ult., when # petition to commute the sentence of the condemned, signed by 1,000 persous, Was presented, ‘The ist of Jaly was the day set for the execution in | the preceding respite, but again he was rescued from the gallows and a new lease of life for three Weeks was extended, in order to afford the Governor An opportunity to carefully examine the petition for the commutation of sentence, A week, two weeks and the friends of the unfortunate wretch oped against hope aud by every means possible sought to influence Executive clemency, bnt in vain. On the 14th, inst. came the awful flat of the Governor that he “refused to interfere in the prisoner's case. The law must take its course.” When this news, which left no earthiy hope, was told the condemned, he casually remarked, without the slightesi: change of folor or the quiver of a muscle, “I thought as much.” Ever after Philips was constantly engaged either in prayer or reading bis Bibie, At his request two clergymen visited him dally and spent a great por- tion their time holding spiritual converse with bim. Yesterday, for the fourth time, he heard the carpenters at work erecting the ecaffold originally built to usher him into eteruity, He Fag ate re- fused to be interviewed by city reporters, who were regularly in the habit of visiting him in the hope of obtaining an item; but they usually returned to re- ort his appearance, condition of his cell and a post- ive determination on his part to say nothing in re- lation to the murder of his wife, No HOPE, Afinal appeal to the Governor brought the news that the last ray of hope had departed, and the des- perate fortitude of the criminal seemed to give way, owing either to the influence of his spiritual advisers orfrom: the terror he experienced of his fast-ap- rouching doom. He made a confession to Gy . r. Dickinson under the sacred injunction that it should not be made public untti tne hour of his exe- cution. But in spite of every precaution the knowl- edge of the fact soon became generally known, until it reached the ears of the father the condemned, & man who, Seaton his own convictions, had been led to his son as inno- feaving the diagraoed family atleast the legacy of Wing the disgrace: at least a doubt that he committed the murder. The heart-broken father at once repaired to the cell cf his son and asked him if1v was true he had con- Tesscd the deed for which he was abont to be execut- ed, and receiving an affirmative reply became over- Whelmed with grief and shed tears freely. ‘Ihe crim- imal was also greatly acected, but without exchang- ug turther words the Lge ghegtn fatuer, his head bowed on the shoulder of his guilty son, embraced him and bid him an eternal farewell. ‘This was the frat occasion on which the con- @emned was known to exhibit any visible emotion.

As he related it, the theory of the murder was fally explained, though not 1a @ narrative form, by tue evidence on the tial He took his coutlding wife, ime atthe thought of being brought to her has- ind's home, on that Sabbath evening, to the mys- terious depths of Drinker’s wood, where none but an Omnipresent Eyo could see them, She spoke cheer- fully and happily to him the entire way, while he Was morose and sullen, with the murderer's fout purpose deep set in his heart, ‘The shadows of evening had set m, his wife was weary with watch ing, and seizing wn opportunity he drew bis Pistol and shot her. he Screamed and fell shitesing for help, but the murderer's clutches were Upon her throat, and her deata cry Was soon stifled, He tien dragued the body tato a Tonely nook in. the Woods, and, returning to this city, stoppet at the St, Charles Hotel, where he slept the night after the tourder of his wife, PREPALING FOR THR TRAGEDY. By mid-day the outer jall yard was thronged with a dense inass of men and boys eager to witness the dying agon'es of a fellow creature. ‘The heat of the sii Was Intense, but nothing could drive the swel- tering throng from the position they had taken at the door leading to the yard ta which the seaffola was ected, aud the noise, bustle and confusion of voices greatly impeded the operations Of vhe jai oMctals. ‘The roofs and house- tops in the vicinity were lined with boys, and ladies Were seen on a hill to the north of the Jail endeavor- ing fo got a glimpse of the horrible scone through opera glasses, A strong poitce force, however, par Ually Succeeded in maintaining order.

Ale Viewed the ghastly instrument of death, now known as “Jeter Phillips’ Scaifold,” and firmly asccuded the steps to the platform, where he took «seat on a chair, Not a muscle quivered, nor did is eye pale at the terrible sight. ‘There was a solemn silence in the heated, perspiring crowd, packed within the four walls of the contracted little yard. The condemned was clean shaved, wearing a light mustache and imperial. His cheeks were stightly flushed, Wa countenance effeminate and bis appearance wis generally baudsome, He was atited in a butt colore:t men coat, black pantaloons, black slouched hat, and his hands were manacied, In demeanor he Was singularly calm, aud he deported himself throughout with Wonderful firmness and decorum. ON THE BRINK. At the request of Sherif Smith the condemned alood up to hear his sentence read, after which the various respiles granted were enumerated, tie erly closing by saying that the last application to Mesiovernor for further clemency was sternly re- Je |, and nothing now remained but to enforce the terrible decree of the law. The Kev. Dr. Dickinson then, by request of Phillips, read a written confes- ston of his guilt, kigned by himself, substantially as above, in which he sald that te was alone in his gullt; ‘no one suggested the crime, none kuew of his Purpose or gave lum the slightest countenance m is deed. He died in peace, but with @ deep sense of Mis unworthiness. In addition to the confession the following, in Phil- lips own handwriting, was read;:-— As to tne Judge and Commonwealth's Attorney I have no unkind feelings, nor have Towards avy other human being. Anto the olor of the jaw they have been very «ind to me, capectally the § rignt. iy Z ‘lor and the guards. Aw for the Governor be uatly deserve all L have suitered. JAMES JEVER PHILLIPS. Following ‘his a very impressive prayer was oflered by anotler clergyman, in the course ot which he alluded feelingly to the sorrows and snt- | feriugs of the family of tho criminal, upon whom the heaviest blow fell, which greatly affected Phillipa. | He covered his face with is hands, tears fell frown his eyes and his frame shuddered visibly; but it was only for 4 moment, amd ue regained hia wontea | Oridness, \ TAKING THE LEAP. All being ready, the clergymen took an affection- | atetarewou.

The Shen became greatly affected and almost overcome with emotion. Phillips’ legs wére then pinioned, the ropo was adjusted over the black Cap and at a signal from the Shert, precisely at twenty-tve minutes past one o'clock, the iron bolt was withdrawa, the drop fell with a heavy thug, and the body of James Jeter Philips was dangling in the arr, DEAD. For fifteen or twenty rads NO Movement was visible, but soon theré was the most violent Hons of the legs and arms. With the right arin he pulled the pinioned left arm round to the front of his body, After tiis the straggie ceased for a few seconds, when they Were renewed, though not wita 80 much violence a3 before. The rope was not pro- perly adjusted. ‘The knot rested at the angie of the Jaw. The fall was not more than five eet, and, the neck oot being broken, the untortunate wretch was strangulated, Life was pronounced extinct in twen- ty minutes, and after hanging thirty minutes the body wag cut down. None more than the conusel of Philips were so astonished at the acknowledgiment of his guilt, and so great was the doubt of it in the community’ that many favored @ commutation of tis sentence to im. prisonment for life.
