Shockley Case Continued and Set for Tuesday of Next Term Young White Man to Roads and An . other Discharged. Young Life Full of Bright Promise is Taken In Washington,!). C Mar ried in This City. It. is with sincere regret that the Star chronicles this mprning the death of Mr, Phillip Warland Delano, which occurred at 4:20 o'clock yesterday af ternoon at his home in Washington, D. Caiter a brief immediate illness wnu pneumonia. . x eiegrams were received -in Wil mington Wednesday evening, stating that Mr. Delano had contracted pneu monia, after convalescing, from a se vere attack of la griDDe. Until Wed nesday, there was a very marked im provement in his condition, and he was expected to arrive In Wilmington within, a few days, but with the devefc opment of penumonla, - his condition grew rapidly worse until 'the end., Miv Delano was : tfte. seennd mn iAdmhrmrtrsr'FicarHlkB aua on may i; iu3, married Mlsa Jean Meares Hamss, of this city, daughter oi mt. ana Mrs. ueorge N.

Mr. Delano was the general manager of the Phoe- ed, respected and loved by all with DROWNING MYSTERY Crew of Sharpie Heard Ap proaching Footsteps and TJien Splash in the Water THOUGHT 'TWAS THE CAPTAIN The jury in the case of young T.jC. Lamb-on trial in the Superior Court charged with the murder of Alice Owens, in this city, last August is hopelessly tied up and unable to agree on a verdict, after havlng-received the case ' at;aTQuartef.1to 'elockTyester day afternoon. As early as 10 o'clock last night It was reported that some of the jurors had -gone to sleep in the Court House and that ho further effort reacn an agreement, it looks now line uiai,a uiisinai win result ana me same, long, tedious hearing will have to be goneall over again at the April term. When court met at 9:30 o'clock yes terday morning .argument by counsel was resumed. s- Herbert McClammyj Esq., opened with an eloquent and powerful plea of an hour in behalf of the prisoner and "vras followed in a brief but telling speech by Solicitor Duffy. The closing argument was by Marsden Bellamy, Esq., whose speech is. spoken of as one of the finest ever heard in the Court House. The weight of these two principal' speeches in behalf of the defense was that the kill ing was not the work of Lamb but some other; that putting the defendant in the position that the State's own witnesses placed him, it was physical ly impossible for him to have fired the shot that killed the woman. They took the bold, strong position that the defendant was not guilty and should be acquitted. No compromise verdict was asked. The one plea was that the State's witnesses were not worthy of belief and that all the circumstances considered, Lamb should be discharged- V Judge Webb's charge to the Jury was a very clear and comprehensive re view of the testimony and an able ex position of the law involved. It was regarded as eminently fair to both the defence and to the State. The jury was instructed as to the law covering first and second.. degree murder. The! manslaughter phase of the case was not presented at all.- The argument of counsel during the morning was listened to by an im mense crowd in the court room The public has taken a strange interest in the -case and last night until a late hour there were frequent Inquiries at the newspaper offices and on. the. street as to the finding of the jury. Several messages from out-of-town asked for the verdict in the case. Should a mis trial result young Lamb would be. re committed to jail to await the April term. The close confinement is tell ing on .his constitution and there? are those who believe that he would be physically unable to undergo the sus pense and the dread of another long wait upon the result of a verdict of his countrymen. Aside from the Lamb case, the only- matter of interest in the court yester day was the continuance of the case of M. W. Shockley, which goes over to the April term under the same bona of $7,500 with C&Pt J. W. Harper as surety. Both- sides announced their Derfect readiness to enter upon a trial of the cause, but the opinion was free ly expressed by the attorneys that the case could not be completed tnis weeK. Judee Webb holds a two weeks term of Sampson Superior Court' af Clin ton, next week and he did not desire that an extension of the New Hanover term should overlap the court at Clin ton where there is also a very heavy docket The case was set down for trial on the first Tuesday of the April term. - Mr. Shockley is defended hv the same attorneys who, have Just completed the trial of young Lamb and while they were in reaainess io try, they feel gratified that the case will not be tried as the continued strain - upon them would have been great , The docket for the term here was nracticallv completed yesterday with the passage of sentence in- the matter of young W. E, Parnell, Who submit ted earlier in the week to nve counts of embezzlement from Parker & Sneed, furniture merchants, by whom he was formerly employed as a. collector. Yonne Parnell was represented by Wil liam J. Bellamy, Esq., and In consid eration of the fact that he had been in jail for six months or more, judgment was suspended and he was permitted to go with a substantial admonition from His Honor aS to his future con duct The young man seemed mucn impressed with the words of Judge Webb apq promisea to pegin aie anew. """:" T - In the case of J. D. Jones, alias A. F. Thompson, a young white man from Cumberland, charged with the larceny a few months ago of a lot of steam fittings from" a miir man from the country, the defendant was sentenced to six months on the county roads or on the farm.

The police are endeavoring to clear up the mystery and identify the vic tim of a drowning that occurred at the clam dock of the Atlantic Coast Line, at the west end of .the freight whouae8 of- the company. Wftriimaa day. night about iOo'ctock. The circumstances of the drowning were reported yesterday by Capt. C. O. Roberson, of. the sharpie Annie, which had arrived from Shallotte on Wed nesday and was tied up at the, dock at the time of the drowning. Capt. Roberson left the Doat early in the night, leaving the two young white men of his crew in charge. Soon after Capt Roberson had departed, the -young men went in the sabin below, closed the door and were spending the evening together. About the hour given, they each dis tinctly heard the approach of footsteps-along the wharf and believed them to be those of Capt. Roberson, returning aboard. They were certain it was Capt- Roberson when they felt some one take a hold of the rieerine and start to step on the deck of the small . craft Both the young men were soon surprised, however, to hear a splash in the water and they knew the person who started to board the sharpie had fallen into the river be tween the wharf and the rail of the vessel. This theory was made- more certain, if such a thing were possible, a fewmlnutes later when they felt' or heard the body of some one striking the botton of the boat in an apparent effort to get to the surface again. uapt Roberson later returned to the sharpie and the two young men were gratified to know that it was not he who had gone overboard, but they were unable to give any clue as to who the person was. While there was no outcry, they are certin; that some one did fall overboard and Cant. Robertson immediately furnished the police with all the information pos sible in order that they might investi gate the matter. Up to last night the pqlice had been unable to get any in formation as to the identity of the person who was drowned. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
