DOCTOR WILL TRY

GOOCHLAND. Va, IAN. 4 Believing
that it has satisfactorily established
the guilt Of Dr. Asa W. Chamberlain,
AAarged with tu, murder on October
- of his brother. Judge Albert +.
Chamberlain, and that motive has
been shown. the Commonwealth is
expected to rest AT noon today.
DR.. Chamberlain will attempt to
shift the burden of guilt on another.
Attorney Conway r. Sands, OF Rich
mond. has appeared to assist James
{. Page in conducting the defense.
By some of the same witnesses used

expects to prove that il was a matter
Of common knowledge in the COM
munity that i'll feeling existed be-
tween the two Chamberlain brothers.
1t was also known to a number of
persons in the neighborhood OF Elk
HilI, where the Chamberlains resided,
that the doctor had raised 81 200 with
which to pay off his Indebtedness to
his brother
Theory Of Defense.
The defense will seek to prove that
Judge Chamberlain was murdered by
some one who sought to rob him; that
the body was then removed TO the
doctors farm, where suspicion would
he shifted to the brother.
The last person to see the judge
alive, with the exception of the muir
derer, was Alexander Knox, a negro
deaf-mute. The Commonwealth was
expected TO place Knox on the stand,
but they have not yet called him. In
he event Knox is used, an interpreter
will have to be used TO construe for
the court and jury his crude sign
language.
Albert Lee Chamberlain, young son
of the dead judge, who came here
from Des Moines. Iowa. to probe the
death of his father, probably will not
be used as a witness. He spent three
weeks in the county making his in
Nestigation, and throughout the trial
has lent assistance to the Common
wealth attorneys.
Star Witnesses.
Funder Britt. a negro meighbor OF
the judge, and Louisa Boatwright,
the negro cook OF the doctor, have
proved star witnesses for the Com
mouwealth.
Britt said that DR.. Chamberlain
told him shortly after the judge was

are often dug up"
The Boatwright woman told Of the
anger Of the doctor when an arbitra-
tion board decided against him in
favor of his brother. She quoted a
remark of the doctor to the effect
that "if I get hold Of the judge he
will be in a worse fix than when he
was operated on for his throat"
These statements plainly impressed
the jury. and cross-eXamination fail
ed to shake their testimony.
The defense. IL is said, will call

Character Of Festival.
An explanation OF the feast has
been given by Rev G. Bursetown, OF
B'nai Zion synagog:
The main character OF the festi-
val is an agricultural one. 1t is to
give expression OF gratitude to God
for his providenual care or the fields
in the new summer which He caused
TO come in due season. When the He
breWs had their own land they would
bring, on this holiday. offerings TO
God from the first crops Of the sea
son One offering Of this kind was
prepared seven weeks prior to this
feast OF Pentecost- because the grain
harvest in Palestine lasted several
weeks, beginning with the earliest
harvesting Of the barley and ending
with the harvesting OF the wheat. IL
the new wheat they reaped and baked
two loaves OF bread on the very same
day Of PentecOst and brought them
into the temple as an offering to God;
but from the barley they secured
an 'Omer' Ia measurement about the
size Of "a pint now since passover
when the barley was new. and kept
Il until Pentecost for seven weeks
in the temple. under the guidance Of
the high priest. on Pentecost II was
burned on the altar as q sacrifice
thanks given to God. Hence, this fes-
tiTal with its several names. feast

are being held after counting seven
weeks from passover. when the bar

cause this festival is to take place
on the 50th day after passover.
Modern Observance OF PentecOsts
Now that the Hebrews can no
more sacrifice these offerings. they
are instructed by their sages, IN old
tradition. that acts OF philanthropy
ana charity can properly substitute
those offerings to express. as we'll

Red Cross idsaIs

me strength Of the Red Cross Is in
its ideals. The Wa Council expresses
these ideals in three great aims
lll To be ready to care for our sol
diers and sailors On duty wherever and
whenever that care may be needed.
% To shorten the war-by
Strengthening the morale Of the allied
peoples and their armies, BIZ alleviat-
ing their sufierings in the period which
must eiapse until the American army
can become fully effective abroad.
(3l To lay foundations for an en-
during peace-by extending a message
Of practical relief and sympathy to the
civilian population among our Allies,
carrying to them an expression Of the
finest side of the American character.
The American people are translating
these ideals into facts-into money
and personal service. Last June the
War Council asked for s1OOOOO.OO0
and the people pledged $4,000, 900, of
which s108,000, 900 has thus far been
collected-eoliected at probably the
lowest cost Of collection in the history
Of such undertakings.
The Red Cross active workers are
estimated at millions, and they are
dong almost everything known to
commerce and science, from bookkeep-
ing to surgery, from knitting socks to
feeding American prisoners in Ger
many.

pie keeps pace with the fast-groWing

teTF We are to succeed we must have
the hearty cooperation OF tn,

duty TO give an accounting Of our
past years work" says Martin lie

What is the plan upon which our
ideal is founded2 There seems to be
some Ignorance prevailing on this
subject The sooner the public IN

realize that the plan is workable and
worthy Of heartiest support
The magnificent buildings Of the
school Of Mines and the wonderful
high school building made our plan
possible The School OF Mines IS a
technical school and such il must
ever remain. Its standing in the pro-
fessional world is equal to that Of any
similar school And yet its equipment

democracy is worthy of the best eff
forts Of any man. We can encourage
the young men and young women Of
our city and vicinity to give their
talents to the solving Of this problem.
and by so doing we assist not only
our local school authorities. but we
can send forth properly trained

Under our plan we viii never need
many buildings. It would be dupli
cation and consequently waste. The
School OF Mines and high school
buildings have ample accommodations
But we do need an administration
building with some class rooms where
strictly College OF FL Paso subjects
could be taught. This will give form
to our ideal. it viii give a center and
create a college atmosphere and
spirit Ways and means ought to be
devised for acquiring some land near
the School OF Mines and building

neither the times for building nor for

Plans For Future.
You know the difficulties we have
had il financing our work No more
inauspicious times could have been
chosen for the launching Of our enter
prise The war demands all our re-
sources and rightfully so, and yet we
must not ask our children TO pay the

unfolding OF our ideal until the war
is over and the financial problem

board Of the city OF FL Paso TO take

eide when IL is best to add the addi-
tiOnal college years.
