at Meadow Brook, Chesterfield Coun-
ty, was destroyed by fire, the origin

rent supplied by the defendant COM
pany. Tho Virginia Railway and
Power Company will put on the stand
experts from the General Electric
Company and a Baltimore concern
to say that the connections in the
Jeffres homes were perfect and that
there was no apparent reason for
fire starting from such source.
Attorneys Henry Allison. and Ran
dotph Williams are representing the
defendant company and will make a
strong fight against paying such a
large sum in damages.
Mr.. Jeffries has as his counsel Mil
Ter & Miller and Attorney Charles V.
Meredith. Mr. Meredith, it is expect
ed. will make the final argument for
his client.
All day yesterday the Hastings

reau's In the Navy Department will
handle such n request the moment 1t
