Defense Rests Case
In Quarry Death Trial; ;
Jury Inspecis Auto
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 23.-The
defense rested today In the case of
Walter Paul Harrison, on trial for
the murder of his wife in connection
with the quarry drownings of Mrs
Harrison and four of their children
Last to testify in Harrison's behalf
was Luther Cecil, Virginia Electric
Power Co. car operator and former
fellow employe of the accused.
Mr.. Cecil took the stand to deny
that he had introduced Harrison
and his admitted sweetheart, 49,
year-old Miss Blennie Terrell.
Jury Examines Car.
Early today the jury paid visit
to a local garage where the car
which carried the mother and chill
dren into the water-filled quarry
had been stored since the tragedy
Some of the members got under
meath it and placed themselves in
the position that Harrison said he
was when the vehicle passed over
his legs and. rolled backward into
the water.
From the lips of the accused man
the jury heard yesterday his account
OF the drownings-how the car had
been parked near the quarry at his
wife's suggestion 80 the children
could see the water" while he sought
to repair faulty clutch and how
the car rolled backward over his
legs while he lay beneath it and
carried the five into the quarry.
The jury heard also Harrison's
admission of an extra marital affair
with Miss Terrell and his protesta-
ton that he confessed his infidelity
to his wife shortly after their last
child had been born and had won
her forgiveness. The baby he re-
ferred to was the 6-week-old infant
that drowned with the other chill
dren, the Oldest of whom was 10.
Told Wife of Affair.
"After the baby was born" Harri-
son testified, II realized had done
my wife wrong and told her had
been unfaithful to her. She gave
me her forgiveness. We go,
along very happily"
And, he said he told the girl with
whom he said he had been intimate
many times:
"In never have anything to Offer
you. You're running your own life ,
His testimony was at variance with
that of the Terrell girl, who ad-
mitted intimacy with Harrison but
said she was under the impression
that he was divorced and that they
intended to be married. She SAID
also she had given Harrison $400 OF
$500 with which to provision farm
on which they planned to make
their home.
Harrison's version, however, was
that the girl knew during the entire
time they were going together thai
he was married man. AS to the
money, he said she had given him
SIS but had consistently refused his
offer of repayment.

Babson Discusses Speech
Bv Wallace On Freedoms

/ rs years win have a majority Of
the U. S. House Of Representa-
i tives. With her climate, soil, oil,
seacoast and airfields, this may
be true. Next to Texas, the re-
pliers prefer Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Virginia and the State OF
Washington, in this respective Or
der. This means that either the
land assessments in these states
are low or else their people are
getting land hungry. Hence, these
states may be headed for a land
boom. I also had a host of postal
cards from people in Washington,
D. c., who are frantic to buy prop
erty. They write that Washington
is now having temporary real
estate boom.
Massachusetts leads all the
states for the number of replies
from those desiring to sell real
estate. They claim assessments
in Massachusetts are too high;
they would be thankful for a
chance to get out at present as
sessed values. Other E ern
states feel the same as do the
people of Massachusetts,. 1nciden-
tally, more postal-cards have come
from people in Florida, who de-
sire to sell, than from people there
who desire to buy. This m a y
mean that the coming Florida
boom may not be Just around
the corner. Due to it's socialistic
experiments, there is also an ex-
cess of sellers in Wisconsin. A
land boom has already started in
California.

I wish again to forecast that the
time may come when the Aneri-

Such a dollar would mean some

Although some of us conserva-

as a dreamer; he, nevertheless,
interprets the desires of a great
many people. I am surprised at
receiving so many postals upon
which were written these words:

how land assessments" in their

buv or sell land at the present

am pleased to report that 70
