District Attorney DeJarnette presented a letter from District Attorney Edgar Allan asking that the case be certified for trial to Norfolk at that term. Colonel Bibb stated that he had just been engaged in a murder case in Louisa, and had not had: an opportunity to go over the case with his client, and that it would not be possible for him to get ready for a trial at this term of court In Norfolk. Commissioner Pleasants held that the time was limited, and that he would present the case to the Norfolk grand jury, but set the trial for October. The letters found on Goodloe's person when arrested were examined in court, the owners being present. The letters were addressed as follows: “Miss Jennie Peyton, No. 714 Scott street, Richmond, Va.”; “Miss Grace Fleming, No. 500 Reservoir street, Richmond, Va.”; “Mr. J. P. McCabe, Richmond College”; Ms. J. W. Burnley, No. 23 West Jackson street, Richmond, Va.”; “William McClair No. 610 west Kinney street, Richmond, Va.” The last two letters were opened, when found in Goodloe's pocket and a $2 silver certificate, No. 170,083, check letter A series of 1899, taken from the McClair letter, was found in his pocket-book.
