Caudill in This City; His Brother Tells on Him and Informs Officers Hubert Norwood. Negro. Is under guard in a Norfolk hospttnl pending sufficient recovery from a pistol wound in the arm to be brought to Henderson to face a charge of the murder 18 years ago this month of Jesse C. Caudill, local white man. whose body was found lying along the Seaboard Air Line railroad tracks in the lower end of the railroad yards the morning of Sunday. June 20. 1914. It is expected he will be able to be brought here within a weiOi or ten days, it was stated today by Sheriff J E. Hamlet. Norwood was connected with the killing by an older brother. Charlie Norwood, who lives in Norfolk, who told police there of the crime after the younger man had been wounded and taken to the hospital. Sheriff Hamlett was notified by Norfolk of ficials and went there to make an in vestigation He said today, on his re turn. that Hubert Norwood had ad mitted (having known Caudill, but later denied any acquaintance with him and also denied any knowledge of the man's death. Sheriff Hamlett said he learned that Norwood had served a term in the Virginia Statk Prison and'also a"term on the roads at Elizabeth City, since he left here at the time of Caudill's slaying. The sheriff, who is looking for witnesses to be used against the accused man. said today he had found one man who was a member of the coroner s jury which, at the direction of the late D. W. Hardee, who was coroner at that time, investigated the killing. No arrests were ever made, though there are reports that a re ward of SI,OOO was offered for the arrest and conviction of the slayer, bu* the‘reward was later withdrawn. Chailie Norwood and his wife, it is understood, will be used as witnesses against their br<*her. The sheriff said Charlie told him he kept for years a newspaper clipping of ths Caudill murder, but that it was stolen about the same time Hubert disappeared and was gone for about three years. The slain man was well known in the city, and was connected with the Carolina Bagging Company. A story in the Henderson Gold I>eaf of June 22. 19H. says that the body was found alongside the railroad track on Sun day morning, June 20. 1914, by W. H. Johnson as he was leaving town with a truckload of Sunday holiday visi tors for a day in Raleigh. He gave the alarm, and officers were quickly on the scene. Coroner D. W. Hardee, empanelled a jury and an inquiry was held, the verdict being that Caudill came to his death by blows on the head But neither the coroner nor county officials ever were able to link the killing with any individual. Hubert Norwood is said io have left heie at the time of the killing and never to have returned since, so far as has been learned.
