With a ourt-room crowded to ca
pacity, with spectators from Swain
and Jackson counties, Ed Nelson and
Jesse Wiggins, 20 year old youths,
went on trial for their lives, charged
with three capital offenses, murder
arson, and burglary, in Brvson City.
Tuesday, in connection with the rob
bery and slaying of Tom Cline, aged
Ela merchant, and burning his store,
on last January 14.
The Swain countv grand jury, last
week, returned a true bill charging
Nelson and Wiggins with the three
capital offenses. Judge Rousseau or
dered a special venire of 150 men to
be drawn and summoned to appear in
| Bryson City on Tuesday morning; and
the whole of Tuesday was consumed
in drawing the jury from the venire
Yesterday morning the State began
to put up its evidence, and it is be
lieved that the trial of the case will
consume the entire week.
Solicitor John M. Queen is being
assisted by McKinley Edwards and
Thurman I^eathenvood in presenting
the cft.->c for the State, while Nelson
and Wiggins are being defended by
J. N. Moody, of Murphy, and T. 1).
Bryson , J r., /oT" Bry son Ctty.
The luuisrtal asjjects of the case and
the fact that this is the first ease in
many years, if ever in this part of
the State, in which the prisoners are
charged with three offenses, convic
tion on any one of which would can v
the mar.da/tory death penalty, have
caused it to create a groat deal oi'
interest in Jackson and Swain coun
ties, and to draw an unusually large
crowd of spectators to the Swain eoun
ty capital. Tom Cline was a merchant
who operated a little store beside
Highway No. 10 at Ela. He was un
married and lived alone in a room in
the store building. On the night of
January 14, his store was discovered
tk> be in flames. The alarm was given
and, though the building burned to
the ground, Mr. Cline 's body was re
cued. It was learned thiat his skull
had been fractured by a blow, and
bloodstains were found on the bed
ding, leading to the conclusion that
someone had entered the store, killed
the old gentleman, robbed him and
set fire to the building in an effort
to conceal the crime. A few days
later Wiggins and Nelson were placed
under arrest by Swain county officers
and have been held in jail in Brvson
City until placed on trial. Tuesday
morning.
There was evidence to .--how thai
the two youths were seen at I he
Chief filling station, east of Ela, on
the night in question, that both had
been drinking, tha.f. they were ariued
with pistols, and were seen going in
the direction of nine's store. A small
quantity of merchandise, found in tlm
woods bv officers, was identified as
having been delivered to Mr. ("line on
Saturday, before the alleged crime, on
Monday night. The two youths on tri
al admitted at the preliminary hear
ing that they had stolen the goods
from Cline, but denied having any
thing to do wi/th killing him or set
ting fire to his store. They contended
that they were picked up between
the Big Chief filling station and Eln,
by a passing motorist, who was a
stranger to both of them, and were
taken to a point west of Ela, near
their homes, by him, and that thev
knew nothing of Mr. Cline's place
having been robbed, or burned, or of
his death, until the following day.
The large number of prospective
jurors who had formed the opinion
of the guilt of the two lads on trial,
and the emphasis with which a large
number expressed their belief in cap
ital punishment (though many stated
that they held religious or conscien
tious scruples against it) were notic
able in the pmvss of selecting the
jury, as was the palpable effort of
the defense to keep as many old or
middle-aged men as possible off the
jury, and to get the pannel from
young men.
The jury selected is composed of
Dave Shook, TV. A. Crisp, E. L. Welch
Zell Still well, J. G. Johnson, Will
Messer, W. A. Mitchell, N. A. Pilk
ington, Dan Shuler, G. L. Crisp, W.
H. Wright, and Fred Ledford. Ralph
Cody is serving as the 13th juror.
