AVERilL ARRESTED FOR
MURDER OF HIS FATHER
Supposed Accidental or Suicidal
Death Now Charged Against
Son of Deceased.
Especial TO the Daily Press)

Especial 10 the DAILY fTeSS).
CLIFTON FORGE, VA. Oct. 10
John H. Averill. IT.. son q the late
John II. Averill, whose TRACE death
occurred at Low Moor last Monday
night, was placed under arrest this
afternoon, charged with the murder of
his father. The arrest of the young
man did not create any surprise des-
pite the fact that the family claimed
that the head CT the house had come
to his death either by accident or
suicide.
Ii is now said that on the night the
deceased met his death he had re-
quested members of his family not to
make any noise. as it disturbed him,
but the young man tried to explain
that ii would be impossible to main
tain quiet as company was in the
house, words passing between father
and son.
The young man tnen left the house.
Followed BY his father, the latter t.e-
ing in his night clothing. A little
later the report of the pistol was
heard. the elder man being found
dead in the yard near the gate. The
fact CT the location Of the ball led
to the suspicion that murder had
been committed. The officers who in
vestigated the case declare that they
have sufficient evidence to convict
the Young man of the crime. Young
Averill is now in Jail at Covington.

VIRGINIA THORNTON
IS ARTISTIC CAMILLE

Nobody ever limited that there wa:
anything at all healthy or openly at
tractive about such plays as Camille
but people viii go to see them and sc
the willy manager puts them on and
the box Office grows joysome accord
ingly.
The only thing to be said in favor
of Camille as a play is that it is. a
| fitting vehicle to carry the art of a
great emotional actress. There is but
one part and that is the main part
all the others are mere foils to give
some change to the deadly undertone of
unsainted misery that runs through the
whole play
Virginia Thornton is good in this
part. She was good last night, yet how
she managed to even get through with
out breaking down is a mystery. Three
days ago she received a copy of the
play and between then and last night
she had to copy her part and memorize
it, besides rehearsing and playing at
night and one matinee
Yet with all that. she was a wonder
fully convincing Camille. From the
half sad joyousness of requited, if I'M
hallcwed, love at the beginning of the
play, she takes the audience with her
through the rending misery of the part
ing, the terrible strain of the mock
life of joy later, the quiet sadness of
her decline and the final scene when
her lover is restored only to catch her
in his arms as she falls dead.
Miss Thornton is artistic in every
line and every gesture; indeed, it is
only an innately graceful woman that
could attempt the part. There is no
violence about her work and it is all
the more pleasing for that. Unfortu-
nately her support was poor. The
minor parts were all played well and
the card scene was done admirably but
there is no getting around it. Richard
Buhler is not good Armand Duval.
He is too much the same all the
way through and never allows his de-
meanor of the spoiled lover to slacken
for a second. In the fourth act. where
he first denounces Camille. and then
implores her to go away with him, he
is almost convincing, but then, he is
the whole stage for a time. He was
an unsatisfying foil to Miss Thornton,
and would help her out wonderfully if
he would ring the changes and let us
hear and see a little of the unbending
which such lover must surely show
at times.
The final scene is beautifully done
by Miss Thornton and she never over
