Vanderbilt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2O.-The New
York Times says 1t has learned Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney is suffering
from nervous strain and hopes for
settlement that will make 1t unneces-
sary for her to testify against Mrs.
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt in their
court fight for custody of Mrs. Wander
bits daughter.
Mrs Whitney was scheduled to take
the stand Monday as the final witness
in support of her charges that the
mother of her 1o-year-old niece,
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, is unfit to
rear her. Mrs. Whitney was not pres
ent at today's closed session of the
. hearing.
The Times says the settlement to be
considered over the week end entails
the abandonment by Mrs. Whitney of
any further effort to oppose Mrs. VAN
derbilt's claim to the custody of little
Gloria.
In return. the newspaper says. Mrs.
Vanderbilt would be asked to with
draw an application she has filed in
Surrogate's Court for appointment as
custodian of the child's $4,000 900
estate.
Would Continue Former Status.
If accepted. the settlement of both
proceedings would have the effect of
continuing the situation that has pre-
vailed during the last two years, with
the child living with Mrs. Whitney,
while her mother draws a yearly al
lowance of $4,000 from the childs
estate.
The Times says it was suggested to
Mrs Vanderbilt that she would find
it less advantageous. so far as her
allowance is concerned. to be Gus
todian of her daughters estate than to
leave it in the hands of the admin
istrators who were appointed after
the death, in 1925, of her husband,
Reginald Vanderbilt.

ing. Nathan Burkan, counsel for Mrs.
Vanderbilt, had declared They can't
settle with us"

The session was devoted largely 10
cross-examination Of Thomas B. Gil
christ, coguardian Of little Gloria s
estate
Justice John F. Carew, before whom
the custody fight has waged, was
represented by the Times as being
disposed to favor some settlement that
would clear Mrs. Vanderbilt of at
tacks on her character. already made
by Mrs. Whitney'S witnesses.

GUILTY IN BRIBERY
Arlington Official May Re-
main in Office at Least
Until November 3.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP.
staf Correspondent Of The star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
October 20.-Despite his conviction
on two counts of rule requiring him
to show cause why he should not be
removed from office. Chairman Lyman
M. Kelley of the County Board will
remain in ONCE until November 3 and
possibly later.
The verdict finding Kelley guilty on
at $50 o'clock yesterday, after the
jury deliberated an hour and IS min
utes.
The two charges on which the jury
found Kelley guilty were the fourth
and fifth in the presentment returned
some time ago by a special grand
jury, and upon which the rule had
been issued. The fourth charged that
Kelley attempted to secure a bribe
from c. c. LAmond, bank president
and manufacturer of terra Gotta pipe,
by asking, in case the former per-
Suaded the County Board 10 use terra
Gotta instead Of concrete pipe in the
installation of the county-wid sewer
age system, what do I get out of
this. Do ! get the bond business?"
LII IAlC nun IL WAS
/ charged that Kelley did solicit and
obtain a bribe from Roger Daniel,
former trash and garbage collection
contractor. 1t was charged that KEEL
ley. after executing both the bid and
performance bonds on Daniels con-
tract and billing him for the uniform
charges for these. later billed Daniel
for $3.50 for special services rem
dered." Daniel had testified that he
paid 5000 of the $3.50 in installments
Of $50 each. Kelley claimed that he
did not get any Of this money.
Following announcement of the ver-
M Bszile, counsel for Kelley. offered
a motion that the verdict be set aside
and November 3 was set as the date
for arguments on this motion.
The motion charged that the ver-
dict was contrary to the law and evil
dence, and was without evidence to
support 1t, that errors were commit
ted by the court in the admission and
exclusion of evidence. and that errors
were committed in the giving and re-
fuSing of instructions and in the
amendment of certain instructions of
the defense. Argument on the in
structions had consumed the entire
morning.
Commonwealth's Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas. who prosecuted the
case. with the assistance of Collins
Denny, jr., asserted today that under
the law Kelley will be permitted to
continue in Office at least until the
arguments are heard on the motion
to set aside the verdict, since judg-
ment will not be pronounced until
that time. The question of whether
he would be allowed to continue in
office in case Judge Coleman sustains
the verdict and the defense announces
that it will seek a writ of error in the
State Supreme Court will be decided
by the court at that time In a SINH
lar case in Hopewell several years
ago, when city official was ousted on
Impeachment charges and appealed.
the court held the ofice vacated.
Douglas said.
