Estimates differ as to scope of Governor Craig's or der for "trusties" in State and coun ty convict camps thruout North Caro lina to have three days liberty for Christmas Friday, Saturday and Sun day, to be back in camp or prison quarters by Monday at noon. Governor Craig thinks there are possibly around five hundred convicts in the State that can benefit by the order but the State prison authorities estimate the number at much less. Besides the order leaves the matter wholly discretionary with the offi cers of the different camps. There are only 109 convicts in the central State prison here and only one of these gets ChrUtmas liberty thru the order. There are larger numbers on the State convict farm and in other State camps but not over fifty State convicts all told. Then there.-ara4W'tX. .counties (a. the J8 tate that work their own convicts inde pendently with an average of not over half a dozen actual "trustees to the county, so authorities close to prison conditions believe not over 200 will actually get liberty for Christ mas. The superintendent of prisons rules that a "trusty," in the sense of being included in tills order, must be one who can be trusted by himself out side of prison boumB, to be sent alone on missions of any sort and not merely "trusty" within prinVn bounds.

Ah president ho succeeds Pr. John Caspar Hranner, who has served two years In that capacity. L E That U. A. Layton, the railroad man, who dropped dead in North Wilkesboro early Wednesday morn ing, did not die from apoplexy but from suicide, was the verdict of the coroner after the inquest, which was held all day 'yesterday. This state ment was given a Sentinel represen tative this morning by W. B. Layton, of Greensboro, brother to the de ceased, who was hero today en route to Greensboro from North Wilkes boro. It Is being circulated in North Wilkesboro that Layton had (been gambling consistently there for some weeks, according to Mr. Layton. It was reported that aomo men were held pending an investigation of foul play, which was brought about by the fact that when Layton dropped dead, his watch was not attached to the chain on his person. However, thar has been cleared up. Captain Will Crews, on whose train Layton worked, located the watch in the pawn shop of 11. Silbert Wednesday and thu morning it was redeemed by Mr. Wt 11. Layton. Mr. W. H. Layton slated that ac cording to reports in North Wilkes boro, his brother, together with seven other men. had spent all of Tuesday night gambling and at 7 o'clock when his brother left the room for the sta tion to make the run from North Wilkesboro to this city he picked up a bottle supposed to contain laud anum, but which was found to contain other poison, and drank it. Other parlies here today from North Wilkesboro report that the talk which has been going the rounds since Wednesday morning to the ef fect that Layton lost his watch, over emit and a month's pay in advance to gamblers are absolutely without foundation. The overcoat was on the man when lie died; the watch has been located and the month's pay that was alleged to have been lost before ii e..i.ie due. was comparatively small owing to the fact that Layton did not work steadily during that month and thus lost a great deal of time. The burial services will bo held at Tabernacle, N. C, tomorrow.
