"Jones is willing worker. HeTl

A telegram from Kcnansville
via another point today stated
that the "Stocks matter has been
arranged.. Court has adjourned.'1
The message came from.H. D.
Williams, a lawyer, to a Stocks
bondsman.
An attempt to query Kenans-
ville from here by telegraph this
afternoon . was not successful.
Telephone lines from there to
other places are out of commis
sion as the result of a storm.
' Stocks, it is learned from a re
liable source, left Snow Hill this
morning at 2 a. m. He prob
ably has not arrived St Kenans-
Ville yet
Lawyer Williams said he would
give details in a letter, which is
not expected to reach here before
Monday.

lyncher who was ordered held in

investigation dnto. the ehootinsr to

ty superior court and forfeited the
heavy bond signod by more than 40
Kinston end Lenoir county men. It
was impossible to Pt into communi
cation with Kenansvillel which place
has very limited communication fa
cilities. Snow Hill lawyers tele
phoned here and wanted to know
something about the matter, but the
only intelligence that had been had
here was a telegram, similar to one
received in the Greene county seat,
savins? that Tlhen Stocks was -sllr,l
ALiIVHT IN Tnt WEbT he was aSCTlt ahd tht the bond had
been declared forfeited. The tele
grams naa oeen despatched from a
station some miles from Kenansville;
that town has no office.
Lawyers here today thought there
must be some mistake, or at least
that if Stocks could show any good
reason for not heing present the bond
money would not be confiscated.
There have been two stories about the
Greene county man being sent home
by Solicitor Shaw on Monday; one
account said he was told to stay at
home "until sent for," another, and
perhaps the most reliable, that he had
been told to report back on Thurs
day. It was thought this morning
that the man might have started
back to Kenansville and been delayed
somewhere; means of travel in the
section south of here are as uncertain
now as the telephone service into
Kenansville. In fhe lalter event,
