SLAYER
PLANS NO DEFENSE
Father of Three Murdered
Is Expected to Plead
Guilty.
srecial pispatch to The Star.

Srecial Dispatch to The Star.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July 26.--
Taylor W. Holt, held in Jail here on q
first-degree murder charge following his
confession that he killed his three chill
dren by pushing them into a quarry
hole near here Sunday night, today told
hts two brothers and Robert Maphis
of Hampshire County, w. Va, a former
neighbor, that he had employed no
counsel to defend him when his case is
called in October, and plans to employ
none.
The inference drawn by his friends
was that he would plead guilty and
throw himself on the mercy Of the
court.
He will go before the October grand
jury here.
BIames Three Conditions.
He told his visitors, calling to confer
with him, that combination of three
things impelled him to commit the
crime:
The action of his wife, particularly
with reference to other men; two glass
es of liquor and the heat.
He thought he had been driven tenn
porarily insane by these factors, he told
the visitors. He had no excuse to offer,
realized the magnitude of the crime,
and his visitors said he choked with
emotion several times while telling his
story. His story of the actual killings
was essentially that told the authori-
ties, including denial that he mistreated
them In any way except to push them,
gagged, into the water He repeated
his story that he did not have the
murder intent definitely in his mind
when he started from his home.
The Hampshire County group said
Holt bore good reputation when he
resided in that county before coming
here II years ago. His brothers and
other relatives still live there.

APPLE CROP HIT
BY LONG DROUGHT
Another Week of Dry Weather
Causes Virginia Growers Much
Apprehension.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, July 26.-An-
other week Of hot, dry weather has
caused commercial apple growers of
this big apple district much more ap-
prehension that. the recent embargoes
against certain grades of American
apples by the governments of Great
Britain and Argentina.
Fears were expressed today that the
apple crop of the entire Shenandoah
observation-disclosures fruit belt from
Southeastern Pennsylvania down to
Southwest Virginia, containing approx
inaately 100000 trees in the hun
dreds of commercial orchards would be
greatly curtailed as result Of the pro-
tracted drought.
In that event, the crop of the United
States as a whole would be much less
than indicated In the last Federal crop
report, which placed the country's crop
somewhat below the 10-year avearge.
The region known as the BLUE Ridge
country" Is the largest producer of
barreled apples in the country, and it
has been seriously affected by the
drought.
Returning today with several assist
ants from an inspection trip into the
famous Apple Pie Ridge section west
OF here, w. S. Hough, entomologist in
charge OF the Virginia Experiment Sta
LlonS HeSearcn LABORATORY, said that
distinct signs of distress are to- be
seen In all the orchads there, ~ and that
similar conditions no doubt obtained in
orchards of other localities which have
had little or no rain in recent months.
MIR. Hough said the leaves either are
dropping or turning yellow, and that
nearly all late FAN varieties alike are
affected, all due to lack of moisture.
He said the apples were much under
size, and that If the drought continues
q little longer fruit will become soft
and spongy. Varieties which should be
showing some color by this time, he
said, are green and unhealthy looking.
It was his opinion that effects Nof
damage will be much more pronounced
in a week or two as regards fruit and
foliage than at present. 1t was feared
that even with moderate rains the fruit
would not develop in size and color as
would be expected in normal seasons.
Since the first Of last January there
has been not more than nine inches Of
rainfall in the vicinity of winchester,
whereas the precipitation in normal
seasons is over I'll inches for the same
period. Except in limited number of
instances, a similar situation has exist
ed throughout the Blue Ridge apple
belt of the four States of Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia.
