ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS Axe-Slayer Is To Be Tried At This Term Os Court Judge Williams Decides Grand Jury Has Powers Will Pass on Presentments in Noted Case Following Brief Charge by Court; M embers of Grand Jury Were Being Rounded Up During Afternoon Members of the six-months grand jury that reported Monday morning at the opening of the special term of Vance Superior Court, and were later discharged for the term, were being recalled this afternoon to pass upon presentments 'by Solicitor Ernest R. Tyler so that cases involved could be tried at the present session. Judge Clawson L. Williams, at first in doubt whether the regular grand jury could function at the special tei m ruled this afternoon that it could if charged anew by the court. Solicitor Tyler stated last night the case of Clarence Fairbanks, confess ed axe-slayer of Steve Good, itinerant showman, here the night of Januaiy 16, and several other homicide cases would go over to the regular March term of superior court, which con venes two weeks hence on Monday, March 7. He said then the special term would have to concern itself solely with cases on which the grand jury had acted at previous terms of court. The grand jury is composed of eigh teen men, and Sheriff J. E. Hamlett said late this afternoon he had found only eleven of them, but expected to reach and recall them by night. Belief among court officials was that Judge Williams would charge the grand jury vex y briefly, in order to comply with the statute under which the special term was ordered by Gov ernor Hoey at the request of the Vance Board of County Commission ers. It was considered certain that the Fairbanks case would be called at this term and preparations to that end were being made. A true bill by the grand jury was regarded as a fore gone conclusion in the light of the confession of the prisoner. CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? See Pane Four 1.

Two Negroes held for slayings will likely be passed upon by the grand jury, it was believed. Just when Judge Williams would get around to delivering the new charge depended upon how soon all of them could be brought back to court. Fairbanks was in court Monday, but his case never came before the b.i T \ T. S. Kittrell, who was named by Re corder R. E. Clements to appear for Fairbanks at the latter’s preliminary hearing January 21, has not been com missioned by the court at this ter.n to represent the prisoner in his trial, nor has any one else been named for that d"txr The youthful showman’s helper has confessed slaying Good at the latter’s truck-trailer near the High Prme Warehouse here early in the evening of Sunday, January 10. Mrs Good, who was critically wounded by Fair banks in the attack which cost hex husband his life, was discharged only last Saturday from Maria Parham hospital, where she had been under treatment since the brutal attack slaving. She is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Page, on Chestnut street, with her mother, Mrs. Stokes and a sister, Mrs. Dodson, of Wash ington, D. C., who have been here with her since shortly the tragedy occurred. Mrs. Good, still under the care of physicians, will testify at the trial of Fairbanks, it was stated by J. P. Zollicoffer, of private prosecu tion. With the regular March term of court less than two weeks away, it is ' elieved that session will come very close to clearing the criminal docket. Judge R. Hunt Parker, resident judge of this district, is scheduled to hold that term by reason of an exchange with Judge Williams, who was due to preside, but who will hold court in Durham county during the two weeks. The first week of March court will be for trial of criminal cases and the second for civil matters, .the latter be ing the first session for civil cases since last October. danielguilty of NON-SUPPORT CHARGE Herman W.

Henderson Daily Dispatch NegroDoetor On Trial For Money Theft Dr. Mitchell Testi fies and Denies Taking $526 From Mary Henderson Moi-e than a full day of Vance Su perior Court had been taker up by this afternoon in trial of Dr. Paul Mitchell, New York colored physician, on charges of the theft of $528 from Mary Henderson, colored women of this city, last year. The State rested about the noon hour and the defen dant had testified for an hour when recess was taken for the luncheon period. Mitchell denied the theft, and sket ched his career, telling the court that he had ti-aveled abroad and had been much in the South, particularly in Durham and Henderson. He came i here last year, and was at times in j the company of Mary Henderson, who 1 had the $526 on her person and later missed it and swore out a warrant cliai-ging Mitchell with the theft of the money. Marie Carter, employed at a local laundry, put up a cash bond of nearly SI,OOO for Mitchell’s release at the time of his arrest. It was shown she had visited him in jail several times, and the State attempted to show that Mitchell gave her the money, or part of it, to furnish his bond. Where the remainder, other than that, if that were actually used, came from had not teen brought out. A. A. Bunn and J. M. Peace are as sisting Solicitor E. R. Tyler in the px-osecution, while defense attorneys are Gholson and Gholson, of Hender son; Charles W. Williamson, of Hen derson, and F. A. Escoffei-y, of Dux - ham, both Negro attorneys.
