MRS. VICTOR HALL
WILL KNOW HER
FATE SATURDAY
Evidence Concluded In Green
Springs Murder Trial and
Arguments Today

! Especial 10 The Richmond Tirginian.)
/ Louisa. Va, Aug. 6.--The fate Of
Mrs Victor Hall, being tried on the
charge of killing her husband at
Green Springs On the morning Of april
10, viii be known Saturday.
All the evidence IN the case was
concluded today and the jury was
taken to Green Springs Station on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway to
make a personal inspection of the
scene Of the murder and also to look
at the pantry which was found to be
! On fire on May "A.
This pantry fire has figured con-
spicuously IN the murder trial. the
evidence being admitted on the ground
that the attempt to burn Mrs, Hall $
house was for the purpose OF destroy
Ing the physical evidence of the muir
/ der.
Contrary TO expectation, Mrs. Hall
was not cross examined at any length
by the Commonwealth. Long before
the hour for converting court, the
courthouse was crowded with an
eager, anxious throng determined to
1 hear every word that came from the
I lips of the accused woman. 1t WAS
thought that something sensational
would surely develop, the possibly the
prosecution would trip the witness, or
that she might break down under the
tremendous strain But nothing OF
the kind happened. The witness, pale
and apparently tired. but with no sign
of nervousness, did not hesitate in her
ANSWERS and talked in a clear and dis
/ tinct voice. Some OF her testimony
was IN direct conflict with other wit
nesses, but she stuck TO her story and,
right or wrong. she could not be
moved She was perfectly composed
at all times and made a good wit
ness. 1t IS doubtful. however. II her
testimony added any strength 10 her
case.
Mrs. Hall was the last witness. and
the argument in the case will begin
tomorrow. The court announced. on
adjournment today. that argument
would be limited 10 four hours on
each side.
a verdict Will probably be reached
All the afternoon was spent by
counsel In arranging the instructions
! to the jury. The various degrees of
murder werc explained. together with
the applicability Of the evidence pro-
duced in the present case to the
various degrees OF murder
| The Commonwealth is satisfied that
! il has made a complete case and is
expecting the jury to render a verdict
Iconvicting the prisoner. On the other
hand. the defense seems equally con-
fident of acquittal.
The lines of care were heavily
marked on the face Of Mrs. Hall when
court adjourned. Friends and rela-
tives gathered about her. however,
and, with loving solicitude, endeavored
to cheer the poor woman in her time
of trial. Mrs Hall says she expects
to he free woman before shutdown

experienced golfers and give them a

of different courses.
There is much greater average of
good playing in Great Britain than in
America, and | think this is due to
the large number of professional eX-
hibition matches. We are not so keen

professional and amateur golf would
give good results and improve the

"HICAGO, March 1S.-Last sum-
mer | received repeated invita-
tions to play with Bob Jolly,
the popular professional of the Park
Ridge Golf Club, on his own course
The Park Ridge Club is a compare
lively new one, and there was a gem
eral feeling that it would be an eX-
cellent thing for the members to see
something of the game of more eX-
perienced players, and for that rea-
son Bob Jolly was anxious to play
with some well-known amateur on
the Park Ridge course. 1t happened
however, that my business and other
engagements made it impossible for
me to go to Park Ridge until late in
the fall, and then / enjoyed a very de-
lightful game of golf.
With this late date in mind, Bob
Jolly told me the other day that his
club was now making up its schedule
of events for the summer, and he
wanted to know if | could not go out
there three times-once in June, once
in August, and once in September.
This | very gladly assented to. and
the exact dates were left to be set
tied a little later Bob Jolly Is

Most Of my golf was learned nv imi-

that the seeing Of good golf is a
great aid to playing il, Galleries can
really learn much from following a
good match, but unfortunately our
big tournaments during the past sew
eral years have been few and far be-
tween.
1t rarely happens that the National
and Western are in the same CITY IN
the same year, and as It is always foit
that in these supreme events SUI
preme effort is necessary. there IS a
certain mental tension that some
times makes the playing not quite up
to the best. and therefore not quite
so instructive.
our local Journeys bring out some
good golf, and occasionally we see
some terribly keen competition, bui
as a rule our good players do not go
about enough to be Of benefit TO the
less experienced. They usually play
over their own courses, and dare
