HUSBAND SEES !
: DOUBLE DEATH
I
X
Tells Police He Was Present 1
At Shooting at Carters
Bridge, Va.
(*p?<lal to WaiklBftM Herald.)
Charlottesville, Va., Aug. 11.? 1
From Magistrate Gibson, who came 1
here today from Carters Bridge, it *
was learned that James Chumbley. t
husband of the dead woman, was t
practically an eye-witness of the
double shooting at Carters Bridge
Monday night, that he was present
at Hoffman's store when his wlfa
attempted to snatch Isaac Lang* ^
pocket book as the latter was in the ?
act of paying for a pair of %hoes r
.and heard the dispute that fol- t
lowed. *
Still more sensational is the t
statement that Chumbley was the <j
first to reach the scene of the t
shooting. According to the husband
s story, he was hardly 200 f
-yards distant when he heard the
shots fired. and that he ran to ths
scene in time to save his wife from
bfing burned to death, since her p
dress was aflame, so close had the u
pistol been held to her breast when 1
she flred a bullet through her
heart.
Weapon Konnd. (j
Another unexpected revelation is t
that the members of the coroner's <
Jury did not And the weapon with t
which the shooting was done until t
the morning after the tragedy. It
was finally located across the fence t
in a cornfield, some yards distant a
from where the two bodies were *
found. t
How it pot there is a puzzle. The f
self-inflicted wound was a mortal ^
on% and the wonder is how the i
woman had the strength to hurl
It so far fcfter she pulled the trig- ^
ger. She **as totally unconscious
when found and barely gasping for | ^
breath. In less than twenty minutes
life was extinct.

In the cornfield wo/ also found;.
Lang's pocketbook. containing a, .
sum of money. Police believe that j ^
Mrs. Chumbley had regained pos-L
session of it and in the disputo j
that followed tossed it over the j
fence just before she decided to j
shoot Lang and end her own life. |
Chumbley is no longer a resident . *
of Albemarle. At 1 o'clock this 1
morning he started fropi his Green l
Mountain home for Charlottesville, j *
He reached the city in time to *
.catch the 7 o'clock train for South- 1
jwest Virginia. , 1
I At 2 o'clock this arfternoon Mrs. *
Chumbley's father reached Char- I
Jottesville from Christiansburg, only
to find that his son-in-law had de- i
parted. He did not go to Green ]c

BLACK WINTER
AWAITSPOLES
Conditions May Be Worse
For War-Ridden Nation
Than in 1914.
By KARL H. VOX WEIGAXD.
(Special Ilatllo DUpatrh.)
Berlin, Aug. 11.?No matter what
the outcome of the negotiations at
Minsk, the proposed conference in
London, or elsewhere. Poland is lit
the very start of the blackest of all
winters she has experienced sinee
the b?ginninc of the world war.
Faminq and pestilence promise to
be the heritage of her attack on
Russia. Poland was fed very largely
by America last winter. Now the
Red forces that are sweeping over
the country, have advanced so rapidly
that they have not cen kept in
supplies by the railroad lines. As
a consequence tAe men and horses
are living off tne land ovtr which
they advance. Poland promises to
be swept absolutely bare. Four times
in the last Ave years huge armies
have swept across the land.
Horrified by what has happened
to their land and with thoir hopes
crushed, thousands of Poles are unwilling
to face the winter. They
want to emigrate to America.

a?le of Russia as one of the means
of affording Poland relief from Bolshevist
military danger.
The Secretary pf State did not
seem to think that eventual American
participation in a blockade
would be an act of unfriendliness
toward the Russian people inconsistent
with our new professions df
loyalty to them.
I.audrd by Polish Minister.
Prince Casimir Lubomirski. the
Polish Minister, in an official statement
warmly commended the
American declaration. He said it
would inevitably "inspire Poland
with a new spirit of hope" and that
it struck a note regarding Russia
which evokes a wholehearted and
responsive echo throughout Poland.
"But," added Prince Lubomirski,
"immediately the question presents
itself as to what is meant by the
phrase 'all available means* which
the American government states it
la willing to employ in defense of
Poland's independence and terrU
torial integrity."
I found the "all Russian" Embaar.y
in a state of great elation over the
American note. It is justifiable elation,
for it is an open secret in
liplomatic Washington that Secretary
Colby's note was inspired to no
inconsiderable degree by the shrewd
counsel of the Russian Ambassador,
M. Boris Bakhmeteff.
Calls It MMoniwfst,B
The Acting Ambassador, M. Henry
ie Bach, counselor of the embassy,
iald he rejoiced te have an opportunity
of saying through the Wash-1
ngton Herald with what gratiflca- I
:ion Secretary Colby's note would
>e hailed by all true Russians. "It j
s not a document/* said M. de Bach.
'It is a monument. It is like a |
ireath of pure, fresh oione pumped
luddesly into an atmosphere long
)oisoned by wrong conceptions. It
s, I almost feel like saying, the first
genuine act of statesmanship which
tas characterised the world's treatnent
of the Russian problem for
nany a month."

POLITICS HURTS
WARSAW ARMY
Weygand Named Too Late
As Chief, Says Observer.
By 9. B. COGGER,

Service, Special fable Dispatch.)
| Danzig. Aug. 11. ? The appointi
ment of Gen. Weygand as chief of
j staff of the Polish army, with full
| powers of command, is a victory
over the secret Pilsudskl organization.
which has been all-powerful.
But tlfcn sole question In foreign
military circles is whether it has
not come too late.
Unless an armistice intervenes It
is the general impression that only
a miracle can save Warsaw. The
Polish troops unassisted cannot do
it. Their veteran soldiers are exhausted
and discouraged. Their volunteers
have too little training to
make good.
Warsaw, it is the general impression.
will not fall for a week
or ten days, at least, unless the
Bolshevists spring some new move
or find another unexpected hole in
the line of the Northern Polish
armiea.
Gen. Pilsudski had been attempting
to Julflll the double office of
political leader and military commander-in-chief.

Intensified fighting and further
bloodshed will be the Immediate j
consequence of the conflict of national
interests. The recognition
by France of the South Russian

The situation In regard to the
danger of tha outbreak of a general

France's move, which is the forerunner
of a refusal to participate
in the London conference on world

disapproval of th? United States of

effort to bring about a working
agreement by which peace would be
