(Continued from Page One)
At the suggestion of Attorney
C. J Oates, appearing in de-
by 'fense of I>r. Mills, the eourt
took'into consideration the nam
ing of the Mechanics and Farm
ers Bank of Durham, Negro in
stitution, trustee of the fund.
This was objected to by certain
members of the Board of Trus
tees of fhe College, The CARO
LINA TIMES has been reliably
informed, although nine mem
bers of the Board of Directors
of the Negro Bank are members
of the AME Church.
Of the $42,840 ordered oaid|
$5,000 must be paid within 10
days from the date of the judjis*
ment and the balance of $37,S40
is to be paid in five equal nii-^
nual installments of $1,508 each,
on the first day of DPCembe.' of
each and every year for live
years, beginning with tlw iir-^t
payment on the first day ''f
December 1944. In additfon the
defendants were taxed with the
cost of the court to the extent
of $150, to be paid within 10
days from the date of the judge
ment.
Fees for the attorneys ap
pearing for the state %erc fiked
by the court as followl: ' ClSfe.i
Williamson, $1,000; E. R. Tyler,'
relator, $1,00, Gay and Mid-
yette, $l,n00 and John R. J>-*n-
klAS, $1,500. The above am0niit.s
are to be paid from the first
moneys which shall come into
the hands of the trustee.
The lion’s share for winning
the verdict goes to ' Attorney
Williamson who for more th.'.n
three years has fought unceas
ingly to have the funds received
for; the sale of the stock, re
turned to Kittrell College. In
trathering the evidence Attorney
WilHamson^made several trips to
New York, ' Boston and Wash
ington and together with hid
associates presented a propon-
'lerance of evidence which show
ed conclusively that the Duke
Power Company stock given to
Ki^reil by Mr. Duke was for the
establishment of an endow
ment fund and consequently
could not be legally sold.
Shortly after the verdict was
announced Bishop Davis called
the group of ministers attend
ing the trial in a conference ^nd
plaeed the question of complying
with the order of the court
squarely up to them. It was
agreed unanimously by all pre
sent that the amonnt could and
would be raised.

Judge Delany's speech wiis
one of the most inspiring a.'id
forceful ever delivered in Dur
ham and many times during its
deliverance he was interrupted
by loud and long applauses from
the several hundred Negroes at
tending the program.
‘‘I am speaking to you not as
a tax commissioner, not as a
Judge of the Domestic Belationii
Court, Not as a member of th«
Board of Directors of the USO,
not as a Negro from the Nortn
or from the South, but as a hi-
man being;” Thus spoke Judge
Hubert T. Delany as he deliver
ed the dedicatorial address.
The speaker gave commende-
tion to those responsible for the
erection of such a fine and
beautiful' structure, which is lo
become a home for. service men
regardless of color and to USO
director Thedore Smith, his
staff and voiunteer workers for
the fine work they have done jn
the past and for what they will
do in the future to keep np the
morale of the soldier’s. For said
he, “knowing Mr. Smith as I Jo
I am sore his good work wi’l

Speaking of the building Judge
Delany aaid^ that “All its beant.V:

from his listeners.
