Brothers Are Tried.
James and Philip Btrother. brothers,
were Indicted on a charge of murder
mid were arraigned for trial In the
court house at Culpeper. Va.. last week.
When the trial began It wa* evident
that the plea of the defense would be
the "unwritten law."
Judge Harrison, who presided, how
ever. announced that he would not rec
ognise any law other than that which
appeared upon theetatute book*.
The defense then changed to emo
tional Insanity and an alienist was
called to the stand to give testimony’ to
the effect that the Strother brothel*, at
the time of the killing, were not re
sponsible for their deed. In the trial
Mrs. Viola By waver*, widow of the man
slain by her brothers, testified In their
behalf.* She said she had loved By
water* and had such faith In him thut
It was easy for him to deceive her.
Proud Family of 8tate.
The very prominence ,of the parties
themselves made the affair all the more
sensational. Although the slaying of
Bywaters bv.ahe brothers of the girl
he wronged in one sense of the word
vindicated the wrong done Uie woman
and the family honor. tl\e fact remains
that one of the. prominent families In
Virginia. tracinji.Jts ancestry back to
the seventeenth century, had for the
first tlrno In Its existence seen the
Btrother escutcheon stained with dis
honor.
It was this fact which seemed to prey
upon the minds of James and Philip
Strother more than the thought that
they were forced to take human life in
defense of family honor.

Intention of remnlnlng with her hue-

Thaw. Mrs. George L. I'araeu
the countess of Yarmouth, the
cr’s mother and slaters, would arrive'
at the prison later.
"We are greatly relieved that Ur*.
Thaw's testimony hsa been given," she
■aid. “and as far as we women are con-
erned we consider the worst over. The
suspense of waiting to bo called waa'
very wearing on Harry's mother." ' •
It was mated today that the acene
between the prisoner and hie mother

ao affecting that Thaw'a guides and
the other prison and court officials
present were forced to turn away to

Thaw put his arm around tha aged
woman, patting her affectionately on
