THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22,1932
Parker Talked As Judge
With Henderson Lawyer
For District Solicitor
Process of Elimination Works Out In That Fashion- An
pointment Would Be By Governor Gardner; 5J P *
Uncertainty as to Method of Procedure *
Opinion among lawyers here today
waa that Solicitor R. Hunt Parker,
who haa been the State’s prosecuting
officer in the third judicial district
for eight years, would be appointed
judge for the district to succeed the
late Judge Garland E. Midyette, of
Jackson, who died suddenly in Eliza
beth City Tuesday afternoon, where
he was presiding over Pasquotank
Superior Court.
This same opinion was that a H?n
denson attorney stood a good chance
of appointment to succeed Mr. Par
ker as solicitor, and a number of
lawyers here were understood to be in
a receptive mood.
Solicitor Parker has made no sta‘e
ment, but friends of the aspirants for
the vacancies were expected to be
come very busy immediately after the
funeral of Judge Midyette this after
noon in Jackson. There was an op
inion that Solicitor Parker was the
logical prospect for the judgeship, if
he desired it, and he is believed to
be of that mind. For several years
It has been rumored that he would
oppose Judge John H. Kerr of War
renton for congress from the second
district, and a recent inqiry of him
on that subject left him without a
definite commital.
Spposing that Parker were appoint
ed judge, a process of elimination
would give to Vance the claim on the
solicitorshlp. It is pointed out that
Vance has no recognition In public of
fice at this time. Warren has had the
solicitorshlp, judgeship and at present
the congressman, Halifax would have
the judgeship if Parker were named.
The late Judge Midyette was. of
course, from Northampton. Stanley
Winborne, member of the State Cor
poration Commission, hails from Hert
fort county, and he has been a can
didate for solictor on a previous oc
casion. Bertie had a candidate for so
licitor in a recent contest, and has
also fiad a superior court judge. The
six counties comprise the -hirn . ,
cial district.
Possibilities among local
for the solicitorshlp should i* k//' 1
vacant, include R s. MeO.h Py*
Peace, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the
John Boddie Crudup tw-re rer.rP,'
