(By T AsMdatsa Frm) . GHciland, Va., Jan,- 2. Interest in the trial of Dr. Asa W. Chamberlain, charged with the murkier of bis bro ther Albert P. Chamberlain, set for to day in the circuit court here, was heightened by anuouacemeut yester day at Itichniond by James W. Page, counsel for the accused man, that he would enter a plea of guilty. The state had prepared a circumstantial case, seeking to show that the men quarrel ed over a debt, and that the physician killed his brother, whose liody was later found buried hi .portions in the niuimi o jam. History of the Case, Richmond, Va., Jaiu 2. The trial of Dp. Asa V. Chamberlain, on a charge of having murdered his broth er, and which is scheduled to take place ut a special term of the Gooch land county court today, promises to be onv of the most aiptable murder trials that lias been held In this sec tions in many years. The prominence of both the accused man and hla al leged victim, the mystery surrounding the crime, and the brutality with which it was" characterized, all have combined to arouse a deep public in terest in the case. j On OctolK-r 28, last.; the body of Judge AllH'i t P. - Chamberlain was found hacked into pieces and buried under fence posts on the premises of his brother, Dr. Asa V.' Chamberlain, 10 miles above Goochland Courthouse. The finding of the body bad been pre ceded some days before by Judge Chamlieiiuin's disappearance tinder circumstances that led to an investiga tion by the neighbors. f Both Dr. Chamberlain and his dead brother had been more or less prominent in public life and in busi ness affairs in Iowa, from which State they caine to Virginia ' about three yuursagu. , ..Theead-jyan had--been a corporation lawyer in Des Moines and was well known in legal circles. Dr. Chamberlain, during his residence In Iowa, had oiieruted a chain of drug stores and was likewise well known in numerous cities and towns of the Hnwkeyc State. When Dr. Chamberlain came to Vir ginia he purchased a large plantation in Goochland county and employed his lawyer brother to superintend it. So far as is known tlie brothers lived contentedly together for two years before any frictioit arose. Finally they "disagreed over a debt of a few hundred dollars that the doctor owed the judge. ' The dispute over the debt was carried along for a considerable period amt.it became known among the friends'1' and neighbors of the Chamberlains that the brothers were no longer on friendly terms. 'Finally it became necessary for Judge Chamberlain to resort to the courts to force the collection of the debt. It -was sodn after the court ordered Dr. Chamberlain to pay his brother the account that the judge mysteriously disappeared. Judge Chamberlain had made num erous friends during his rdesidence In this section, and when he dropped out of sight these friends became curious to' learn what had become of him. To all inquiries Dr. Chamberlain re plied that his brother had gone to Wyoming. . , According to the story told by Dr. Chamberlain he had visited his broth er's house and had paid over the amount of the debt, i It was on the occasion of this visit, he said, that his brother had flrst told him of his plans to leave Virginia and go to Wyoming, and that immediately there after he hod departed. Certain conflicting points in the story told-by Dr. Chamberlain served to .arouse still further, the suspicions of -the neighbors.' Finally the authori ties took official cognizance of the case and a thorough search, of the Cham berlain premises was begun. After the residence and the outhouses had been .thoroughly investigated without any- thlna of a suspicious nation being brought to light, the search was flfr "THIRD LIBERTY LOAN."
