COULD NOT CONVICT OF MURDER
The State Could Not Have Asked it in
the Berry Cook Case.
Solicitor Pou informs us that the plea
of murder in the second degree was all
the State was entitled to in the Berry
Cook case. Under the act of 1893 di
viding murder into two degrees it is in
cumbent on the State to prove that the
defendant had a predetermined purpose
to take the life of the deceased. “This
the State could not do,” said ho, ‘‘and
I saw no reason why the time of the
court should be consumed when the de
fendant was offering to submit for the
highest offence the State could ask a con
viction of.
“The State could not show that
Cook went to the house of the
woman with the intention of taking her
life. The act of 1893 makes it extremely
difficult for the State to establish a case
of murder in the first degree. Public
officers are sworn to execute the law and
a conscientious observance of duty some
times forbids that they should gratify a
public clamor for a hanging.
“It is probable that Cook became in
volved in a quarrel with the woman and
killed her without intending it.”
TO BE MOVED TO CHARLOTTE.
Mr. W. C. Dowd, editor and proprietor

The Keeley Treatment
AT GREENSBORO, N. C.
Mr. Geo. E. Holt, a well-to-do mer
chant of Mebane, N. 0., who graduated
in ’95, says in a letter to W. H. Osborn,
of April 25th, 1897;
“I have no desire to take a drink. I
am thankful to tell you the Treatment
I received at the Keeley Institute and
the effect it has had upon me, has been
the means of making a sober, indus
trious, Christum man of me. I am a
member of the Presbyterian church at
this place. 1 am always ready to tall
anybody the good I received from your
Treatment, and advise them to take it.
I kuow what the Institute is. I speak
from experience. If I had not gone
there when I did, I would have filled a
drunkard's grave in six months time.”
