Elisabeth City, Dec. 81. The feeling taai nucox is guiny is sou strong, but the theory that there an two men Impli cated Is rapidly gaining ground. A de tective, sent by the New York JOTirnaL has been here working up the , ease and from yesterday's Journal it is seen that he holds to the two-man theory. There are many things that lend one to believe tnat ne is correct - ;: - f : On the fatal night Wilcox called at the Cropsey home but did not soeak to Miss Nellie, talking however i tq other mem bers of the family. He ept continually puumg ouv nis waven m a nervous way, saying that he promised his motherto be home at 11 o'clock. At 11:15 he rose abruptly and went ont After getting Into the hall he re-opened the door and said: "Miss JNelile I would like to speak to you a minute." ? ' T- Nell went out. as has been related, Just as she was, with a slipper on one foot That was the last ever seen of the fated girl until the river gare up Its dead, f Now the theory is that the cause of his continually looking at his watch and the nervousness shown was that he was to meet some one outside at . the appointed time. .-Then there is the erldence of Mr. C Parker that Wilcox and another man were seen talking at the gate at an early hour In the night. Also there is the evi dence of Captain Owens and his mate on board the banre. of a skiff with two neo- pie in it erosslnsr the river shortly after eieren ana guaing aiong under the snad- Again v there Is - the erldence of the bloodhounds that Mies Nellie was carried from the gate to the summer house. wucox is a small man and Miss Nellie weighed orer 180 founds. . - Every time the dragging of the, river would begin near where the girl Is now supposed to hare been sunk there would come reports that she was in this place or .in tnat, now .suppose o usually the work of a BklUed accomDliosr. The boat which must hare been used to transport the girl to the middle of the nrer was moored some distance down and It needed helo to brinsr it no and re place it so that the work could be speed ily done for Wilcox to get on his Journey uuine ia gooa tune. t It Is also thought that the body was anchored down but cut loose In the night before it ; was discovered. A renatable gentlemen showed me this evening the copy of an anonymous letter received by Mrs. Cropsey on the night before Nell's body arose which said; "Your daughter will appear In front of your house to morrow." An electrician had arrived with an apparatus for searching; the bot tom of the river and It la believed that the guilty parties cut the body loose at this juncture tp uphold the suicide the ory. ' Why they should write the letter no one can lmasrine unless it was to make them look for the body on the surface rather than search the bottom. The proper authorities are in possession of other facts that cannot now be given to the public, it is understood. Some sen sations are likely to be sprung before this affair Is orer withA However, it is not believed that Wilcox will have anything to say tomorrow. The New York World has had a man here for some days, - but ne win leave tomorrow. ' Lawyer Andrew J. Cropsey, In reply to the question If he thought the body was in the river since the 20th of November, said: "That Is hard to sar. Some do. snma don't, while others think it was burled in the mud.
