Henry Mrt nw ti s mMMl of Vir
ginia. a man about 4® years of «|f,
married, bat it ia nU not living with
hi* wife, but upon the death of Mrs.
McCraw, W. F. Carter, attorney far
him, demanded a coroner's inqectt
over the body of the young woman
to determine the cause of bar dea'h.
The inqiMt waa held Monday aftsr
noon fnBiwrlaj the funeraL Dra.
Martin Mid Aihby assisted the coro
ner ami It ia generally understood
hat the verdict of the jury will be
that »he died from pneumonia. The
autopey revealed greatly congeeted
lunga, and the atomaeh waa aont to
the atate rhemiat at Raleigh for hia
'lamination. The jury haa not yet
heen diaeharged bat wilt be railed to
gether again to make up their final
verdict when the chemist at Raleigh
make* hia report.
The prosecution has retained J. H.
Folger and H. 0. Woltx to represent
it. In talking to a News reporter
Tuesday Attorney Woltz said the
prosecution was satisfied with the
findings of the coroner's Jury, and
that they would contend that the
voung woman came to her death as
•he result of the attack upon her, in
that the attack so broke down her
nerves and her resisting powers
igainst disease that she wan an easy
••uhject to pneumonia
The lawyers and officers say that in
this rase there is a eery technical and
interesting point of law, that has very
little precedent to go upon. The
warrant against Henry McCraw
charges him with rape, and the young
woman was the only witness the
state had agaiaat him. Of course she
swore to the warrant, and she told
her huahand and parenta of the at
tack, hot all this we are told would
not he adasieaable aa evidence. Only
statements made when she realised
she was dying could M used as evi
dence—these are what are termed
"dying declarations" and are admit
ted as evidence in the courts. Bat
befoae these statements ran be term
ed "dying declarations" It must be
proven to the court that they wees
made by the deeeaaed at a time when
they thought they were at the point
of death. In other nurds the law
takea it foC granted that no person
who though* they ware about to set
oat on the voyage to the other shore
would wilfully and knowingly tall an
untruth at each a tee.
If the prooeratien cannot produce
a dying declaration of the deeeaaed
then thin are thooe who doubt
whether or not a case of rape can ha
made out against McCraw. Should
they fail in this they will sttwpi
to dhow that the act at McCraw was
lery a tax of not bwi than 50 oitt
im the $100.00 valuation of property
hi Mid territory to nppkMM tha
