And too, they wanted to hoar ti.e most sensational trial over held in Harnett county and wore prevent ed from doing so by tho work they had to do. If once you boeanio in terested it was hard to pull yourself away. .s75 sensational wore tho devel opments as tho trial progressed. The evidence for the first part of the trial was a repetition of the lii’St one in .vliich Phillips was convicted and sentenced to die for tho murder of his wife, Etta Mae Phillips, on Au gust IS', 1946, as they were sitting at the dinner table at their homo near Angler. A suicide note suppos edly written by tho dead woman turned up on the eve of Charlie’s execution date and this gave him a rtew trial. .This is where the evidence began to take on a (llfferonco when llttmfflA a®.®.

It was easy to see that the lawyers for the de fense and for the State were at a I »ss to cross-examine the experts as lliey had bad no experience in hand writing. The spectators heard more .ibout letters In (heir "slants and (Mirves’’ and letters with big tops and little (ops, most of wbich was Chi nese to them. Not many people ever take .1 second glanee at their own handwiiting (and confidentially I wouldn’t want to observe my writ ing too closely) to see bow the let ters are formed. We are only luter- estod In the wording of the letter, i)Ut not so with the experts. One ■vent so far as to say that he didn’t take into consideration the wording, only the formation of the letters, or something to that effect. Kvldently the testimony given by the State’s four expeits convinced tho Jury that the suicide note was j not written by Mrs. Phillips, which was shown by the verdict rendered, I that of murder In tho first degree i with a mandatory sentence of death, j Many were present who had heard the death sentence pronounced the I first time and expeiienced that which ; not many people ever experience— tliat of seeing a human being twice J sentenced to die. It was a tense mo- I ment and to all appearances, the ' doomed man was the calmest person ] there. When the judge asked, "What do .von have to say for yourself, Charlie Phillips?*' before the sen tence was pronounced, in a clear voice without a tremor Charlie said. •‘1 am not guilty.” The judge imme diately sentenced him to die on Sept. 19. An appeal was taken and 90 days was allowed for the defense to per fect the appeal, which assuios Char lie of at least three more months of life . . . Most pathetic was Mrs. Etta Watson, mother of the dead girl after sentonco was passed. When talking to this writer In a voice that trembled and was scarcely audible she said, "I am sorry for Obarlio’s mother, but bo took my daughter's life. I’m sure of that.” * « • This and That: Mr. and Mrs. Alex Harrington of Raleigh visited rela tives in this section last Sunday . . .
