NEW YORK, May 24.-Atter de-
Ginning in most sectors, the stock

At the same time, the feeling pre-

NEW TRIAL DENIED
EDITH MAXWELL
High Virginia Court UphoIds
Z 2Q-Year Term for School
Teacher.
By the Associated Press,

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 11.-Edith
Maxwell, Wise County school teacher
twice convicted of killing her father,
lost her appeal for third trial in the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals to-
day.
The States highest tribunal upheld
the Wise Circuit Court in its sentence
of 20 years in the penitentiary for the
comely and youthful former instructor
in the Pound School. Charles H. Smith
OF Alexandria, her attorney, said he
planned no appeal from today's de-
cision of the court.
Miss Maxwell was arrested after her
father died in the summer of 1885 fol-
lowing a domestic quarrel. Convicted
and sentenced to rs years in prison the
following November in a trial widely
publicized over the United States, she
obtained reversal in the Supreme
Court after the lower court had twice
denied rehearing.
She was given 20 years on the Sec
ond conviction.
The Commonwealth claimed that the
mountain girl fatally injured her
father, Trigg Maxwell, by striking him
with some blunt instrument during the
quarrel in the Maxwell home. The de-
fense claimed that Miss Maxwell
struck her father with shoe when
Maxwell, drinking and angry, threat
ened to whip her. It contended, how
ever, that he did not die from the blow,
but from striking his head against a
meat block In falling.

While cabinet officers, veterans and
citizens looked on, President Roose-
welt this morning rewakened America 8
memory Of the horror of war by plac-
ing wreath in the name of the coun-
try's whole populace on the Tomb Of
the Unknown Soldier in Arlington
National Cemetery-the symbol of the
sacrifice of American lives in the
World War halted by the Armistice
signed 10 years ago today.
While the appropriate spirit of
Armlstice Day is one of joy, as We
look In retrospect our feelings are
tempered by thoughts of the tragic
cost OF war;" Daniel ]. Doherty, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, said at the tomb after the
President had moved away
Day of Rededication.
TO the members of the American
Legion, this day of glorious recollec-
ton is also day of rededication to
the task of making permanent the
blessings of peace. Each new ami
versary brings to us more vividly the
realization of the futility of war. It
spurs us to renewed determination
that our sons and daughters shall
never know an America involved in
war if we, in honor, can prevent it.
The American people treasure
peace. We covet not one inch of the
territory of any other nation. We do
not seek one penny of any other
nations treasure"
Thus opened the Nations celebra-
ton of Arnistice Day. A chill wind
swept across the Potomac River up
to the hilltop on which the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier stands, and
the reverelt, patriotic crowd shivered
as 1t stood and watched and listened.
Many Wreaths to Be Placed.
During the day many wreaths will
be placed at the base of the tomb
tributes from more than score of
veteran, patriotic and fraternal organ
izations.
Daniel j. Callahan, supreme treas
urer of the knights of Columbus, was
named to present a wreath in the
name of 100000 members. His escort
included State Deputy Walter U. Plant
and State Warden William A. Multi
gan of Washington, John j. Flanagan
OF Baltimore, Maryland State deputy,
and Thomas A. Murphy Of Richmond,
