Ballard v. Commonwealth

John H. Babb was a farmer and had lived all his life in Nansemond county, with whose people he was widely connected by blood and marriage. Willard Ballard was one of the superintendents of a manufacturing company in Suffolk, and had lived in that town for several years, but for about a year preceding the commission of the offense here charged lived in the county and was one of Babbs neighbors. They were not intimate. Both were married and had families.
