VERDICT DELAYED
IN GARRETT CASE
Jury Not Expected to Retire
Until 3 O'Clock This
Afternoon.
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated fress.
CUMBERLAND COURT HOUSE,
Va, October 20.-Unexpected delay
having cropped up yesterday after
noon over instructions to the jury,
four attorneys had to complete their
final summing UP before the jury in
the trial of r. o. Garrett, when the
Cumberland county circuit court con-
vened this morning. Though Judge
B. D. White held court in session
until after 10 o'clock last night, but
three speeches had been made. OF
the seven attorneys engaged in the
case. three for the defense and four
for the prosecution of the man
charged with the murder of Rev.
E. S. Pierce. two for the common
wealth, r. H. Mann and George b.
White. and one for the defense, w. NJ.
Justis. jr.. spoke last night.
Attorney H. NJ. Smith of defense
counsel was the first speaker today,
with Acting Commemorative Attor-
ney Milton =. Bonifant to follow.
Louis o. Wendenburg will close for
the defense and Richard Z. Byrd for
the prosecution.
Indications were that the case
probably would not reach the Jury
before o'clock.
Delay in the consideration OF In
structions, which were argued by the
lawyers from IL o'clock yesterday
morning until nearly o'clock last
night, were due to the introduction OF
practically a new set when it had
been expected both sides would agreo
to acceptance of most of those used
in the former trial of r. o. Garrett.
Failure of the opposition sides to get
together, despite their long struggle.
led to Judge White finally adopting
the instructions used previously and
adding one new one.

Bush Brown, Washington sculptor, in
"a lecture at the Baltimore Museum of
Art. He said:
There is a healthy and spiritual
advantage to be derived from art
that expresses a care-free joy in liv-
ing. We take life too seriously in
America. In Europe you can hear
good. hearty daughters, but very rare
ly here. We smile, but seldom laugh.
Those of us who buy art for our
