ing Ne,u Trial.

While Edith Maxwells attorney
planned to seek a change of venue in
her new trial. the 22-year-old Virginia
school teacher came to the Capital
yesterday for q change of scenery.
In contrast to the stares of Wise
County residents. she found comfort
in the fact she was just another girl
here as she went to the movies an j
toured the city without being recog-
nized.
Last night, after seeing the White
House. the Washington Monument
and other landmarks, she stayed with
friends in nearby Virginia. Today she
was scheduled to travel to Southern
Virginia, where she will visit relatives.
Miss Maxwell was accompanied here
by Charles Henry Smith, Alexandria
lawyer. who took the case before the
Virginia Supreme Court OF Appeals.
The appellate court decreed the evil
dence did not justify a first-degree
murder verdict and 25-year sentence.
Miss Maxwell was released from the
Jonesville (Va) jail Saturday on
5000 bond ..-
According to testimony presented at
the first trial in Wise County, the girls
father, Trigg Maxwell, died after his
daughter struck him with a slipper

RELIEF ROLLSCUT
IS CASES IN MONTH
Number of UnemployabIes
on List Reduced in August,
Report Shows.

A reduction of only 18 cases in
the number of unemployables re-
ceiving relief from the Board of
Public Welfare during August was re-
ported today by Miss M. Alice Hill,
director of the public assistance divi-
sion. There were Att cases on re-
lief rolls during the month.
The slight reduction was reported
despite the fact that 214 more cases
were certified for old-age assistance
in August than in the preceding
month, and an increase of II cases of
aid for the needy blind.
At the end of August. there were
1885 cases where aged persons were
either receiving aid or were under
Investigation, and a total Of 1853 cases
involving the needy blind. The rea-
son why so many of these cases were
transferred from relief rolls during
the month, Miss Hill reported, was
because applicants for this type OF
assistance had been given first atten-
ton On account Of their greater need
During August the division can
celed 5l2 cases which had been pre-
viouSly on relief rolls, due to changes
in the condition Of the families. Of
these, 149 had become employed.
In addition to these 5l2 closed cases
the division rejected 1.514 applications
for assistance for various reasons
About half of this number, 1858, had
been certified to the Works Progress
Administration or to the National
Youth Administration; 1873 had secured
employment or made other adjust
ment, and 161 cases we're found to
have adequate income.
On the other hand, Miss Hill re-
ported, 50 new applications were ac-
cepted and 20l cases previously closed
were reopened because the families in
vestigated were found to be in need.
