August 20.—If every. man i Cumberland Court House is not afforded a chance to make an affidavit for or against a falr and impartial trail it will be due 1o the fact that he escapes the eyes of the lawyers who are fighting .that case. It is known that George B. White of the prosecution has been there for several days, and it is re- ported that he had obtained hundreds of aflidavita from persons in every direction showing that it will be futile to undertake the selection of an fmpartial jury. The sentiment and feelings of the people are o aroused that they are declaring that they do not believe that there are a doze men in the county who are not hiase one way or the cther. The defense is insisting that there aro men in that county who are able and who will give a fair trial, a8 es- tablished by the evidenee, when Robert Garrett.is arranged for trial next Monday. The lawyers for the defense are confident that they will be able to have the man acquitted of the murder of T E. 8.
