car.
On cross-examination West admit
ted that a week later spine one men
timed' n pistol ’and lie went to Wil
liam Scales and told him there wati
a possibility of* his being iffdicted sot
perjury if lie didn’t tell everything
he might know of if.
West conferred with W. R Lee
assistant treasurer of the Hannah
Pickett Mills, and W. A. Jenkins
the superintendent, the day after tin
shooting.
“You were a sort of runner for Lpf
and Jenkins in their efforts to get
evidence for Cole, weren't you?’
■‘Well, yes.”'
“Didn’t Lee tell you to tell thest
fellows they might be indicted for per
jury if they didn’t tell all they
know?”
Larry Moore was directing thf
questions.
West had testified lie told Scales
he mi&'lit be indicted for perjury.
He answered Mr. Moore's question
by saying that Lee had told him they
could be indicted.
The defense witnesses were corrob
orating previous testimony and were
being asked to testify concerning
Cole’s “queer actions” and conversa
tion. tending to support Cole’s <plea
of self defense. *
On cross-examination the State
brought ou the friendly relations, be
tween witnesses and Cole and charged
that every effort was made by the de
fense to bring evidence that would
aid Cole.
The defendant was nervous and dur
ing the examination of liis superin
! tendent paid dose attention.
Jenkins described his observations
of Cole but the defense struck a snag
when the witness was not allowed to
give his opinion of Cole’s mental con
dition. The court sustained the
state's objection, and the defense took
twp exceptions rapidly.
Jenkins said that Cole had come to
'him one time since February and had
told him he wanted Jenkins to have
his job if Ormond killed him. Cole is
general manager.
The state was sustained when Jen
kins again was not allowed to describe
a conversation with Cole on the eve
ning of the homicide.
The jury was excused while Jenkins
was aTlowed to put into the record his
testimony.
The state tore into Jenkins with an
attack on every phase of his testi
mony. Larry Moore .attempted to
make the witness say that if his fam
ily was slandered he would resent it
with his fist, drew from the witness
the
Jonathan Daniels lias the following
in the Raleigh News and Observer :
The State is not trying the virtue of
Elizabeth Cole but she has branded
her dead sweetheart a liar for liis let
ter that they lived together as man
and wife for over a year. The de
fense claims that Cole was driven in
to insantiy by this ‘‘grossest slander."
The State may be forced into present
ing evidence in an attempt to show
that Ormond wrote not slander but the
truth.
Interest in further developments of
the trial centers around the question
as to whetheti Elizabeth Cole's letters
will bear out her testimony or show
that Rill Ormond wrote the truth.
Counsel for the defense do not
know the contents of the letters from
Elizabeth Cole to her former sweet
heart except in so far as the girl has
told them from memory. The State
has more than a scote of letters writ
ten to Ormond by Elizabeth Cole and
identified by her when she testified
Thursday.
Today while judge and jury and at
torneys rested over the Sabbath, gos
sip about the letters was rife here.
Gossip declares that the letters are
full of dynamite.
When the letters of Ormond were
introduced in evidence last week the
State warned the defense that it did
not wish to attack the virtue of Miss
Cole.
Ormond in his letter charged Miss
Cole with telling her father one thing
and him another. The letters are ex
pected to show whether Bill Ormond
spoke the truth.
The defense has intimated in open
court that since the homicide Miss
Cole has been examined *by three doc
tors in order to determine her virtue.
Since the beginning of the. trial on
Wednesday, . the State has presented
three witnesses to the actual homi
cide all of whom have testified that
Ormond was lounging in an uncon
cerned fanner in his car when Colt*

shot him to death. One witness testi
j tied that Ormond was lazily smoking
I a e : garette when Cole killed him.
i The defense has presented evidence
5 to show that a pistol was found in a
saddlebag on the door of Ormond's
. car shortly after the shooting.
, ‘Cole has testified that Ormond was
reaching for his gun to shoot him
when he killed Ormond.
. “I shot him to protect my family
; and myself.” Cole stated. "I am not
sorry for it.” Cole's version of the
, homicide has not yet been corroborated
by any other witness.
, Cole lias also testified that follow
ing the receipt of Ormond’s "slander
. | letter" on February 14, he was in a
. [ stalJ* of physical and nervous collapse
! until after the shooting. When he
j killed he swore his mind “was in a
I whirl.” After the homicide, lie said
'! he “got a whole lot bettor.” He stat
. [ ed that lie does not know whether lie
. , was insane when lie killed or not but
he says lie is sane now.
Two of Cole’s employes and Miss
_ Elizabeth Cole have testified as to
Cole's nervous condition.
Several prominent men and women
have testified to the good character of
. Miss Cole.
, Cole’s testimony about the trouble
with Ormond over his daughter has
r been corroborated by Miss Cole, and
Fred Bynum, who went to Nashville
i and secured a written apology-from
Bill Ormond.
No alienists have yet been put on
the stand by either the State or the
defense.
Elizabeth Cole is not a pretty worn
i an. She is a large woman with large
' features. Her neck is large and
thick. Her ,*kin is oily. Only her
eyes are pretty.
Yet she is a woman of remarkable
poise. She is 24 years old and far
removed from tile flapper type. She
has the look of a woman abundantly
■ able to take care of herself.
Cole has been described by veteran
lawyers as the calmest man they ev
’ er saw on trial for his life. Only once
J during the whole trial has he shown
, any emotion. For the rest of the time
* he lias remained with inscrutable
face and only tapping fingers have be
’ trayed any nervousness. He has jok
’ ed with his friends in the court room
' throughout the trial and discussed the
case with his lawyers as new evidence
has come out on the .witness stand.
Rev. A. L. Ormond throughout the
’ trial has presented the pathetic fig
ure of a strong man stoically bearing
[ liis grief. His daughters, Myra and
I Ophelia, have been unable to control
their grief at times during the presen
t tation of evidence. Allison Ormond,
\young medical student, has borne up
, manfully.

WORLD’S SERIES TICKETS
OFFERED AT $125 EACH
The Scalpers Expect to Reap a Har
vest From Late Comers.
Washington. Oct. it. —The office
force <:f Senator Simmons put on an
other major, but unavailing offensive
in the region of Clark Griffith stadium
tollay in the effort to secure a few
world series tickets for the scores of
North Carolina folks who have writ
ten here in the hope of witnessing the
games. Some of th«< local papers stat
ed today that congressmen would be
taken care of; but there must have
been some mistage about this. Spokes
men of the ’Washington baseball man
agement said if Senator Sinfmons
were present in the flesh, why, of
course, those in charge would see to
it that he was favored with a ticket
or so. Fans living at a distance, how
ever, would have to take their chances
along with the general public. Appli
cation for tickets of admission from
the office of the senator would not
help them.
Enormous Prices.
The original price of two grand
stand tickets for three games hvre is
A-i-F Today for the same sets of tick
ets were being sold by scalpers for
.$125. .
A News reporter, posing as a big
butter and egg man from the west
with a lot of world series coin, went
out looking for tickets today.
In the Willard Hotel he was told
that for $482 he could buy two upper
box seat tickets for the three games
here. They cost originally $30.60.
In a barber shop he found a man
who had a single seat in a box next
to the President's box that lie would
sell, for the first game here, only, for
$125.
Down on the avenue between 12tli
and 13th streets, is the “curb” mar
ket for world's series tickets.
The common price there is $125
for $33 worth of pasteboards.
The scalpers have a good supply of'
tickets, investigation proves.
All one has to do is to Jet it be
known in a hotel lobby or around pool
rooms that he wants world series tick
ets. The scalpers pounce upon him.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady Today at Decline of
5 Points to an Advance of lPoint. '
New York, Oct. 5. —( /P )—The cot- |
ton market opened steady today at a j
1 decline of 5 points to an advance of
1 point. Many over-Sunday selling
orders appeared, particularly from tiie J
South and December quickly eased off
to 22.75, or about 5 points net lower.
At this price, however, there was a
good trade demand, and considerable
'* covering on apprehensions that low
temperatures in the northwest might
work down into the belt. By the
end of the first hour December had
rallied to 22.88, active months gener
ally s’aowing net advances of about 7
to 12 points, although some of the
local weather experts thought, it un
likely that the cold spell in the north
west would carry frost into the cotton
belts.
A private report issued this morn
ing pointed to a yield of 14,400,000
bales, compared with an estimate of
34.018,000 bales toward the middle
of September.
Cotton futures opened steady: Oc

| SINCLAIR SENDS
FOR THE EDITOR
Judge Good Naturally Reprimands
\Y. Rrodie Jones For Articles in
Paper.
Warrenton, Oct. 3. —W. Brodio
•Tone* l , editor of the Warren Record,
was summoned by Deputy Sheriff
W. CY Ellington before Judge N. A.
Sinclair just before September
Court adjourned and was reprimand
ed by the judge for editorial ami
news comment of court precedure
which had been printed in The War- *4
ren Record. "I sent for Mr. Jones be
cause he grossly misrepresented the
court in reinirting proceedings,” said
the jurist, "and though I do not
think it was done with evil intent I
want to clear the name of the court."
Judge Sinclair talked at some
length on the punishment meted to
criminals for violating the liquor
laws. "I have never fined a man for
manufacturing whiskey. I always
send them to the roads,” the judge
j said. His chief criticism against the
newspaper was for the story of Ned
Bryant, around whom the criticism
of Judge Rod well’s court was built,
Howard F. .Tones pointed out to*
Judge Sinclair that the article to
which he had reference was an inter
view from Judge T. U. Rodwell in
answer to criticism of the Recorder’s
Court by Judge Sinclair. The jurist
acknowledged that fact but censured
The Warren Record for printing the
views of Judge Rodwell a« being a
reflection upon his court.
Turning to a~ discussion of the
editorial comment in The v ' Warren
Record. Judge Sinclair said. “I .notice
that the paper says that although it
does not agree with me in every
er^ic-ism —I have only eritized the
Recorder’s Court in j-our county.
The other criticisms in my charge
referred to affairs in the State.”
