II Eastlake Is convicted sentence
will not be passed upon him until
afs>S the trial of Miss Knox. with
whom he is jointly indicted.
Miss Knox's trial is set for Feb
ruary ~ next, and Eastlake cannot
be used as q witness against her II
he is under sentence.
Should first degree verdict be
brought in against Eastlake. the
court will withhold sentence. The
penalty for first degree murder in
Virginia is life Imprisonment or
death by the electric chair as
maximum, and twenty years i'm
prisonment as a minimum. A man
slaughter verdict may mean as little
as five years In the penitentiary.
Eastlake will know his fate by to-
night. While sentiment reveals the
feeling that Eastlake was morally
responsible for the wrecking OF his
own home and the eventual killing
Of his wife, many believe that the
evidence is insufficient to connect
him with the actual deed.
CANDLES With Life.
Arguments and instructions to the
Jury are the only court business re-
manning before the jury takes the
case under consideration. The op-
posing sides are permitted two hours
each for their frgCments, and the
Judge will then deliver brief instruc-
tions to the panel. After that no
ment ,EastlaE.'s case will be In the
hands ct twleve citizens Of this
county who, have been given au-
thority to pass upon his guilt or In
nocence.
A gamble, with q human life at
stake, was prec.pated in the court
room at dusk yesterday when Judge
Chinn urged the counsel to try to
send the case to the Jury last even
ing. Attorney w. w. Butzner of
the defense Jumped to his feet and
offered to give the case to the jury
without argument.
Commonwealth Attorney Mayo i'm
passionately addressed the court for
permission to adjourn until morning,
giving as his reason the fact that
ne was mentally and physically IA
tigued from the tedious progress of
the trial and believed that his duty
to the commonwealth was to be in
the best possible condition to effec-
lively make his argument.
Prosecutor Wins Delay.
"If the court thinks the ends of
Just ce will be better served by
arguing this case tonight" said Mr..
Mayo. we will yteld and try to
conclude our side. Personally. I am
worn out from the ordeal Of this trial
and I do not feel equal to the task
which you ask of me tonight"
Judge Chinn then turned to the
jury, saying. Gentlemen, realize
the hardships and discomforts to
which you have been subjected and
I sympathiDe with you in the stu
alton which confronts you.
AT the same time, after a trial
Of the Importance of this ono has
progressed SO far without any error,
or undue haste, l am inclined to
submit to the plea Of the common
wealth attorney, who feels he cannot
90 on with the case tonight, and
will have to ask you to continue
your labors with us for one more
night"
It was at this point that Butter
proposed to waive both arguments.
'I would not lay the responsibility
of deciding this case upon the jury
without them having the benefit of
argument" said Mayo. Judge Chinn
Immediately adjourned court until to-
day at 10 O'Clock.

GO ON WATERMELON SPREE
Crowd at Broad snd South Streets
Benefits hy Collision

South Philadelphia went on.a water
melon spree last night.
The spree started because Harry b.
Pugh, 233 South Fifty second street,
who was testing an automobile on South
Broad street, lost control of the car
and bumped another machine mt South
street. The jolted car hit Joseph Dal.
ereco's watermelon wagon. Dalereco
and his assistant, David Salter, were
thrown from the wagon. The horses
took fright and started to run.
At Broad and Bainbridge streets the
runaway team came to grief agninst q
pole. The contents of the wagon, sixty
watermelons In all, were scattered on
the street and sidewalk. They say
crowds gather quickly. This one broke
all records. They like watermelons IN
that locality, and they especially like
them when they get them for nothing
Some snatched up the pieces Of the
melons which split In the street. 9th
ers grabbed whole melons and carried
them of under their arms. Some en- :
joyed the delicacy on the spot, Others
took them off to their families. The
street was litareally covered with gredn
rinds and black seeds. The red parts
of the melons somehow disappeared.
Patrolman Stamper expressed sur
prise and then amazement at the sud
den popularity of watermelon. Then
he traced the evidence back to the
source and finally arrested Pugh as the
only visible cause. The latter was held
In $500 bail for further hearing by
Magistrate O'Brien.

PLEASING PERFORMANCE

after seeing Henry B. Waithall
many times in motion pictures El Cen
tro theater goers last night saw him
in person for the first time and the ex-
perience is one which will long be
pleasantly remembered. The vehicle
in which the popular star was sup
ported by an excellent cast was 4 satir-
ical comedy by Herbert Bashford
Taken In"
The action of the play gives the star
ample opportunity to display his his
trionic ability, in manner which pro
vides the maximum CT humor and
which is satisfying to even the most
critical Of his auditors. The support
ing cast was pronounced the best that
has ever appeared in this city, and in
every way the members kept their
parts well up to the standard set by
the star. Miss Mary Charleson, who
in private life is Mrs. Walthall, played
the leading female role.
