Roanoke, Va. Oct. 1.-THE trial Of How

anon. Va. charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Betty Justis and five members OF
the Meadows family at Hurley three
weeks ago. has been set for November l6
Mt Grundy. the county seat Of Buchanan
County.
In view Of the fact that lynching was
feared and tho further fact that the jail
at Lebanon. in Russell, an adjoining
county, is one OF the strongest and most
secure In Southwest Virginia the prisoner
was taken there.
Lebanon, however. is a small place,
and Il is thought that the accOmmoda-
tons for the number OF people attending
the trial would be insufficient II is said
that there are better accommodations at
Grundy, and, inasmuch as the lynching
sentiment has subsidized, II IS not thought
that there will be any danger in taking
the prisoner back for trial.
