I IM RADDFDV f A OI7l Ill llUDDLilll UidL Tears Stream Down Face As Man Pleads For Own And Wife's Freedom INTEREST GRIPS CROWD Interest was kindled to a high pitch in the court room on Tuesday as James Terror, white man of Maryland, assumed the role of attorney and freed himself and his wife, Levina Terror, of charges growing out of the robbery of a box car at Warren Plains several weeks ago. He was charged with breaking into, entering and larceny, , and his wife was charged with aiding and abetting him in the crime. Apparently somewhat familiar i with court procedure, Terror played upon human emotions as he fought 1 fiercely and untiringly to free himself and his wife of the strong 1 threads of evidence which the state _ sought to weave into the robbery pattern. As he questioned witnesses he appeared cock-sure, bold, and fearless as his name emplied, but when he testified in his own behalf >t and went before the jury to make his final plea his trembling voice s_ seemed to vibrate tears which rolled is down his cheeks from time to time. 1 He told members of the jury that aj he did not know anything about [(j the box car being broken into at 3r (Continued on Page 5) Id Says Upset Mind Caused Him To Hit a.

Your Honor: We, the Grand Jury selected for May term of Superior Court 1935 of Warren County, beg to make the following report: We have carefully examined witnesses and passed on all bills presented to us by Solicitor W. H. S. Burgwyn. We visited the county jail and found that the rear door needs to be repaired, heating stove pipe should be protected to lessen fire hazard, and back stairs should have a hand rail. The sanitary conditions are as good as could be expected with the present equipment, and the management satisfactory as far as we could find.

Neville, 42, was instantly killed and her 20-year old daughter, Viola, was fatally injured Monday afternoon about 3:20 o'clock when the Ford V-8 they were traveling in, was struck by Seaboard Air Line train No.4 at a private crossing one mile south of Dn ortVinll t aooiiaii The car, which was half way across the rails when the train struck, was carried up the tracks for 400 yards before the locomotive was brought to a halt. Mrs. Neville was found dead when the train crew reached the scene and removed the vehicle from the cowcatcher. Her Daughter lived for about ten minutes but was unconscious during this time. Coroner Jasper Stearin, who made an investigation immediately after the accident said there is nothing at the crossing to obstruct one's view.

Two shifts are now being used in 1 the operation of the mill with each shift making 40 hours each, it was learned yesterday. The mill is expected to run under the present arrangement until May 25 when a hearing will be held at Elizabeth City before Judge Meekins. Whether the mill will continue to run after this hearing is not Irnnron Judge Thomas H. Calvert, who was appointed temporary trustee by Judge Meekins, said this week that he did not know how long the cotton mill would operate. "We're trying to do the best for all concerned," he stated. The resumption of operations was made possible by the directors putting up capital to guarantee creditors against any loss in the operation of the mill, it is understood. Veterans' Graves To Be Decorated Graves of World War Veterans are to be decorated on Sunday af- , ternoon, May 26, by members of the ( American Legion and Legion Aux- ; [liary, according to an announce- , ment made by Faulk Alston, Com mander of Limer Post No. 25. Though Memorial Day officially ! is not until the 30th of May, this ( is the nearest Sunday to that date j and the graves are to be decorated ^ at that time, he stated. Those who . tiave flowers they wish to give for J this cause are asked to bring them to the court house not later than . 1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. J Commander Alston asks that members of Limer Post be at the Court House by ,2:30 o'clock to receive flowers and make plans for lecorating the graves of soldiers 1 who made the supreme sacrifice. ' Three Convicted i On Larceny Count J Washington Evans, Robert Ed- J wards and Ellis Pendergrass, young , white men, were convicted this week on charges of breaking and ( larceny.

Roger Falkener Found Not Guilty On Theft Charge Rodger Falkener was found not guilty when tried in court here on Tuesday with James Daniel and Bennie Nicholson, the latter a negro, on charges of breaking, entering, larceny and receiving. Daniel, who, through his attorney, entered a plea of nolo contendre, was sentenced to state prison for two years, and Nicholson, who pled guilty of receiving goods knowing them to have been stolen, was sentenced to state prison for two years, sentence to run concurrently with the present sentence which he is serving. The case against these two white men and negro developed from the robbery of Miss Alice Wycoff's store at Ridgeway several weeks ago and the stealing of chickens, hams, peanuts, and a basket from Joseph Wilson, negro who lives not far from Axtelle. All three of the men live close together on Palkener's father's farm and evidence was presented by the state to show that the stolen property had been found near their i homes. Peas similar to those stolen from Miss Wycoff's store were found in Falkener's car, Sheriff Pinnell stated, but Nicholson's testimony tended to show that Falkener had not placed them there. The negro stated that James Daniel told him that he got the peas from Ridgeway and that it was Rodger Falkener's instructions that he? Nicholson, get Falkener's car and carry them down the road. He stated that he loaded the peas in Falkener's car and removed them. He also testified that Daniel had threatened him if he told anything in connection with the robbery. Wilson testified that his hams were stolen, some peanuts, harness, a basket and all his chickens except one rooster. The harness and basket were also found about half a mile from the Falkener home. Nicholson testified that Daniel committed this robbery, that he was with him when he broke into one of the buildings and that he was in the car when Daniel stopped and picked up the chickens, which were in a bag, from the roadside where ;hey had been hidden. * * II ? ? 11 Kev.

STATE SEEKS TO CONVICT KINSEY - Jury Hears Evidence In Case Charging Mill Manager With Embezzlement NINE WITNESSES HEARD Before a jury drawn from a special venire of Warren county men, the state began yesterday morning at 11:45 o'clock to marshal evidence in an effort to convict Loyd C. Kinsey, former manager of the Peck Manufacturing Company, on charges of embezzling Warrenton Bonded Warehouse certificates and cotton, issuing warehouse receipts which did not exist or which were not present at the time, and misappropriating proceeds from cotton delivered to the Peck Manufacturing Company. G. W. Poindexter, the ninth witness to testify in behalf of the state, was being cross examined vesterdav afternoon when court ad journed at 5:30 o'clock until 9:30 this morning. He will probably be followed to the witness chair this morning by George W. Poole, certified accountant who has been auditing the books of the Peck Manufacturing Company since this criminal action was instigated. The crowd which filled all available seats in the court room yesterday afternoon has not been furnished with any evidence of particular interest so far. Most of the evidence which has rolled from the mouths of the witnesses has been in the form of figures as the state Court will be in session here on Saturday if the case against L. C. Kinsey is not completed today, it was learned yesterday from Judge Devin. The fact that there are a number of more witnesses to testify, arguments by lawyers and the Judge's charge before the jury retires indicates that the case Will not be completed today, and some are of the opinion that it will run into next week. iil has sought to trace cotton which is alleged to have been put up as collateral or used in an irregular manner. The defendant is represented by John Kerr Jr., Gholson & Gholson of Henderson, and Will Yarborough of Louisburg. The prosecution is in the hands of Julius Banzet and Prank Banzet, with Solicitor W. H. S. Burgwyn lending a hand. Members of the jury are Eugene Reavis, Vernon Fleming, C. W. Fleming, Thomas Neal, J. H. Reid, Eugene Sadler, J. H. Harris, Q. L. Aycock, W. L. Kilian, Bailey Ayscue, and Messrs. Hight and Thompson. Due to the fact that there has been a great deal of talk about this (Continued on Page 8) Senate Sustains President's Veto Of Bonus Bill Washington, May 23.?The Senate today blocked enactment of the Patman inflationary bonus bill by refusing to pass the legislation over President Roosevelt's veto. The vote to override was 54 to 40. The Senate originally passed the Patman bill 55 to 33. The House yesterday voted to override the veto by 322 to 98. The Senate action killed the bill, but opened the way for a new drive for similar legislation. Cash bonus forces were ready to offer an alternate proposal as a "rider" to the pending naval appropriation bill. President Roosevelt was having a meeting of the allotment board when the vote came. He was notified immediately but made no comment. Gratification was expressed elsewhere at the White House. The vote came after the Senate had listened to widely conflicting claims ranging from an assertion the legislation may "lead to ruin" to another that it would be "good business" to pay off the obligation now. While supporters of the measure were conceding defeat in their cam paign to override the President's veto, Senator Borah (R., Ida.) urged the Senate to pass the $2,200000,000 inflationary measure. "I make no concealment, I offer no apology," he said, "for the belief that the country needs a larger volume of money, a larger volume of currency. For that reason I believe this bill is in harmony with tiie interests of the entire country." As the momentous vote, expected late in the afternoon, neared, Senator Long (D-La.), who had been optimistic of overriding the veto, (Continued on page 8) J
