Cumberland Courthouse, Va., July 28—Judge White’s Decision denying the commonwealth the motion for a change of venue in the Garrett trial having disposed of a troublesome stumbling block. Interest in the case turned to the possibility of getting a jury and the line the defense will take.

Judge White, after declaring the state had not convinced him that a fair and impartial trial could not be had in Cumberland County, late yesterday adjourned court until Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
