Garrett Brothers to be Tried in Cumberland Court, July 28, 1923

Cumberland Court Will Try Garrett Brothers as Change of Venue Was Not Granted

Associated Press

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.
