Campbell, Wytheville, for the defense. Also assisting with the prosecution was Town Attorney Jack Matthews, of Gaax. The case took on the aspect of perhaps one of the hardest fought court battles ever fought in Gray son county and never before, it is said, had the question of psy chology been before the court and in the general discussion- by. the people in the county, as in this case, growing, as it did. out of the defense insanity plea and Delp’s actions, claimed by the de fense to be the result of a dis ordered mind. Since being in Roanoke Jail, Delp is said to be entirely non communicative, paying no atten tion to anyone or anything ex cept his guitar, which he is said to play almost constantly. The jailor said that he "can play a guitar beautifully but he won’t talk to anyone,” and that they even had to coax him to eat. Defense Attorney Campbell has let it be known that he will file an appeal In behalf of Iklp with the Virginia State Supreme Sea Cutnni Motor Co. for bAtlCfiM Musicians Will Compete Friday Night At Galax Various String Bands Have Registered. Among These Is Paul Miles' Sparta Orchestra Registration is practically com plete for the Old Fiddlers’ con vention to be held Friday night, April 12, at Galax in the Galax high school auditorium, according to Dr. W. P. Davis, of Galax, who is in charge of registration for the contest. Those in charge of arrangements are anxious that those who desire to attend ob tain their tickets at once, as ap proximately 300 have been sold and every indication points to ,a record-breaking crowd. Among the registrations al ready received, with more still coming, Dr. Davis said, are the following noted string bands.* Jack Reedy and his Fiddling Mountaineers;' Of Marion, Va., who have won at the Whitetop festi val on previous occasions, and who played for old-fashioned dances in the presence of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt when the first lady visited the Whitetop festival in 1933; Paul Miles and his Sparta orchestra, Sparta, which is said to be one of the best string bands in Western North Carolina; H. S. Gravely and his Stumptown band, of Max Meadows, Va., and H. G. Bedsaul, with the Rayfield brothers, of Winston-Salem. Galax will be represented in the contest by Troy Cockerham and his band and Coy Hampton and his Gaax Variety String band, as well as by Dr, Davis and-his Ballards Branch Bog Trotters. Woodlawn (Va.) high school has entered its FERA orchestra, which, it will probably be recall ed, broadcast from Station WDBJ, Roanoke, some time ago. Carroll county will also have bands in the contest from Austinville, Al lisonia and various other points. J According to Dr. Davis, it is hoped to make this occasion a yearly event, extending over one or two days. It is also hoped that more commodious quarters may be obtained for next year's event, and plans are under way to bring this about. Galax, it is said, is peculiarly adapted to this type of gathering, as it is situated at the center of the source of supply of this type of music in this entire sectioif, has good hotel accommodations and has splendid road connections with all of the mountain sections of Virginia and Western North Carolina.
