Father of Reynolds Widow Will
Arrive in WinSton-Salem
Late Today,He TeIegraphs

WINSTON SALEM, N. c.,
Aug, ) G.N.S.) A telegram
sent to the solicitors office to-
day by Alfred Holman, father
attorney of Libby Holman
Reynolds, charged with the
murder of her young million
aire husband, Zachary Smith
Reynolds, indicated that the
missing defen dant might
shortly surrender to North
Carolina authorities.
Holman will arrive here from
Cincinnati this afternoon in an
attempt to treat with authorities
concerning his daughter whose
present whereabouts are un-
known.
No Trading Planned
The telegram sent by Holman.
addressed to j. Erie McMichael,
assistant solicitor of Forsyth
county, North Carolina, read:
Undergo no expense regard.
ing Mrs. Reynolds appearance
at Winston. / arrive Winston
Friday fifth 2:25 p. m. Please
have court await my arrival"
Solicitor Carlisle Higgins de-
clared that he knew of no regular
legal move Holman could take
upon his arrival to obtain free
dom under bond for his daughter
unless she was turned over into
the custody of North Carolina
authorities. He said:
81 do not intend to trade
with Mr.. Holman. The status
of the case at present is very
clear. Mrs. Reynolds has been
duly indicted for murder with
Alb Walker by a grand jury.
1t is now our duty to see that
she is taken into custody"
Habeas Corpus Question
The solicitor pointed out that
after Libby surrendered to au-
thorities it would be possible for
her counsel to begin habeaS
corpus proceedings.
In the event of habeas corpus
proceedings, the solicitor pointed
out, defense counsel might de-
mand presentation of the evi-
dence upon which the grand jury
based its Indictment.
The presiding judge would then
decide whether the evidence war
ranted a charge of first degree
murder, second degree murder,
or manslaughter.
A first degree murder charge
does not permit a defendant to
be freed under bail, but the
lesser charges do permit grant
ing of bail.
A first degree murder charge
upon conviction calls for a man
datory sentence of death under
North Carolina law; second de-
gree murder carries penalty of
from two years to SO years in
prison. Manslaughter carries a
penalty from four months to 10
years Imprisonment
Although no regular court pro-
cedure appeared available to

Quently attached to the wall So were most
of the mural paintings in the Library Of Con-
greSs executed, and indeed, also, the panels
by Jules Guerin in the Lincoln Memorial.
Only very recently has there been q return
to true fresco painting. Eben CominS Of this
city has made interesting experiments along
these lines. Under an eminent French painter
further experiments have been made at Fon-
tainebleau, and among the experimenters one
Of the most successful has been Mr.. Newell
There is an interesting color quality in such
work. an inherent simplicity and directness
which seems to partake Of the nature of deco
ration and to have architectural significance
not as something applied but something part
of the structure. Mr.. Newell, In so far as he
has revived an ancient art, Is traditionalist
but in his treatment from the standpoint
Of both simplicity and strength is essentially
modern.
A N exhibition Of portraits and frescoes by
Eben F. Comins opened with tea and
private view last Wednesday afternoon in the
galleries of Gordon Dunthorne, Maynower
Hotel to continue a fortnight. Among the
works shown are portraits Of Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes and Justice Edward Terry San
ford; Gen. william D. Connor, the last but
lately completed; the Right Rev. T. I. Reese
late Bishop of Southern Ohio: the Right Rev.
Carroll Perry, D. d. Col Lindbergh; the late
and much beloved Mrs william C. Rives OF
this city; Miss Mary Manning, Peggy Morgan,
Master Demarest Lloyd and others.
On the cover Of the announcement of the
exhibition is admirably reproduced Mr.. Comins'
portrait Of Washington, the General" painted
in celebration Of the Bicentennial and already
mentioned in these columns as a fine and strik-
ing work. This, too, is included in the current
exhibition, well as a most charming child
portrait, q likeness Of Peggy Morgan Of Balti-
more, . little girl with curly hair, dark eyes
and expressive mouth, holding "Brer Rabbit"
long-eare and solemn, in her right arm, her
left hand tucked jauntily in her jacket pocket.
Mr. Comins is perhaps at his best in his por-
traits Of children, grasping in an extraordinary
way. their naive appeal, painting with great
directness and spontaneity. using fresh color
and displaying exceptional command Of his
medium.
Mr.. Comins, as all know, is versatile
painter, one who likes to experiment. who
has many moods and he paints with equal
facility portraits, subject pictures. flowers and
still lfe-one who makes invariably an inter-
esttng and engaging showing. ~

OF woFkmen erecting high-tension steel car
riers. The scene is staged, as it were, In front
Of triple waterfall. To the right are, In the

Of cable carriers, to be hoisted shortly to the

Is seen spanning the waterfall, indicative Of
ths harnessing Of natural power and its wide
distribution. The treatment is bold and simple,
In measure realistic, but primarily decorative.
The horizontal panel depicts two methods Of
distributing power, the overhead wire and the
Underground cable, with its source. the power

composition. The power plant Is an exact

THE special Bicentennial exhibition which
] opened at the Corcoran Gallery of Art yes
terday week with private view and reception,
was reviewed at some length in our news
columns last Sunday, but it offers an almost
inexhaustible supply Of material, both for COM
ment and study.
Included in this exhibition, gathered from
many and rare sources. are works by the
foremost of our American portrait painters of
the time Of Washington, painters who, despite
inadequate training and circumscribed ac-
quaintance with the great paintings of the
past, achieved results almost unrivaled today.
How they did it Is and will always doubtless
remain q mystery. Possibly they were in fact
inspired. Perhaps sincerity and lack of self
consciousness contributed in equal measure to
their success In this exhibition the student
has unexcelled opportunity to study the great
works Of Gilbert Stuart and Of comparing them
with the skillful achievements Of the Peales,
Of Trumbull, Wright and others.
majority of the works in the exhibition
are still in private ownership and there is little
doubt that the curators of painting In our
leading American museums will make pilgrim
ages to Washington during the next nine
months for the sole purpose of seeing these
paintings.
NEXT Saturday in the National Museum q
ScSoio CALlOltioH Will De opened III cele-
bration Of the Washington Bicentennial. This
exhibition has been arranged by a committee,
OF which Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Commission of Fine Arts, Is chairman. 1t will
consist OF series Of mural panels, Is feet
high. varying in width from to 20 feet de-
picting scenes in the life of Washington, and
OF works In sculpture by some of our leading
American sculptors. The mural paintings have
been produced by members OF the Society Of
Mural Painters as a patriotic contribution to
the Bicentennial celebration. The collection
OF sculpture has been assembled by the Ma
ttonal Sculpture Society with the same pur-
pose. The paintings are said to have been
planned as q unit, despite the differing tech
nique Of the artists, and collectively they are
supposed to give a very comprehensive idea
OF the various tendencies Of mural painting
m America today. Among the painters who
have made contribution are: Ernest Peixotto.
