be made In the trial before a jury OF
Henrico County farmers.

In the event that the grand jury in
diets Clements for the alleged attack

tive agreement. IT was learned that
the attorneys in tho case have held

Collins said that he was acting for

Chenault and who believed In her,
and wished TO aid in protecting her
from the many reports which Attor-

denied that Mr.. Smith had been re-
