L. Gibson, engineer first class, of

With wrecking ships, and a concen
tration of efforts on the part of div
ers who went into the sea to explore
the 8-51.
The recovery also indicated to those
at the submarine base that the divers
at last had been successful in their at
tempt to get inside the (submarine.
I.ast night when tlie 'seas became
too choppy for wrecking ships to
work, tile divers went down but were
unable to get near the hatch which
they hoped to enter, because of strong
tides which swept them off their
course through the water.

tery room, that part of the submarine
which was rammed by the Savannah
Line steamer City of Rome, last Fri
day night.
The message from Rear Admiral 11.
H .Christy in command of the rescue
forces, said the divers still were work
ing in this compartment, and as they
ploughed their lead weighted feet
through the passageway of the vessel
it was expected more bixlies would be
fmmd.

Tosehmacher. of Bangor. I’a., was
taken from the submarine this fore

RENEWS ATTACK
Continues Policy of Criti
cising the Nation’s Air
Policy Before the Presi
dent’s Board.
Washington. Sept. 29.— (,/P) —Col.
Win. MiichoU todn.v resumed his on- !
slaiiglit against the nation's air pol-1
iey before President Coolidge's invos-1
Pgating board.
Dirigible airships for carrying air- |
planes, lie asserted, can be built that
will fly from Europe to the United
States and return.
"For the Atlantic,” he said, “we
need an army to protect the land, a
navy equipped with submarines, but
above all an air force to protect the
nation from attack by air.
“In considering our east coast de
fense (dans," be continued, “we must
think of England as dominating the
Atlantic ami as stroug in the ('aril
bean.”
Turning to the Pacific lie asserted it |
was the desire of Japan to control all i
entrances to Asia and the point of I
attack from the Pacific is byway of
! Alaska, not Honolulu, “the capture of
I which place would expose a hostile
j fleet to an open attack from the sub
marine and airplane."
Col. Mitchell said if the United
States is attacked from both the At
lantic and Pacific, an air force would
be far more mobile to shift to the
center of attack.
The proposal to develop the air
defense, he asserted, was not entitled
to larger appropriations, but a re-di
rection of present expenditures.
"Other nations,” he said, “are
aware of these matters, while we bury
our heads in the sand like ail ostrich.”
“Tlie navy's mission," lie continued,
“is nt sea. It should he pushed to
sea to keep open the lanes of com
munication.
“Our army has a system compli
cated in the extreme. It sticks and
clings to systems of bygone times, as
all armies do. It will work, if prop
erly applied."

Lawyers Making Last
Plans In Cole Case
Taking Advantage of Delay
Caused by Decision to
Get Venire From Union
County.
FOUR LAWYERS
ADDED TO CASE
They Came From Union
County Since Jury Will;
Be Chosen From Men of
That County.
Richmond County Conrt House,
Rockingham. X. C., Sept. 29.— (A 3 )—
While the case of Sttae vs. W. B.
Cole awaited tlie arrival here tomor
row of 200 venire men from Union
; county, the fifteen lawyers for prose-
I eution and defense today made their i
final preparations for t’iie trial.
Conferences among attorneys to
whom have been added four from
Union county was the order for the
day. W. B. Love has been retained
by the State, and John C. Sikes and
Vann and Milliken have been added
to the defense.
During the lull citizens from Rock
ingham turned their attention to the
court house in the second criminal
case for which yesterday there was
an arraignment.
Hotels are crowded. Doubt has
been expressed that the 200 venire
men can obtain accommodations here
tomorrow. The twelve in whose hands
will rest the fate of the wealthy cot
ton manufacturer will be provided for
by the county but during selection of
tlie jury venire men will he respon
sible for their entertainment.
The newsboys’ ranks have swelled
since Saturday. Cries of “extra”
meet die pedestrian on every hand, as
trains bring out-of-town papers. Re
porters and news photographers con
gregate in hotel lobbies, as at resi
dence occupied by defense counsel,
and on street. The solicitor’s office |
is a meeting place.
• Judge T. B. Finley has expressed j
himself as pleased with progress of j
the trial. Tomorrow and probably
Thursday morning will be devoted
to selection of, the jury. Taking of
testimony will be begun when the
jury has been sworn in.
The Rockingham correspondence of
the Greensboro News has the follow
ing:
Three Weeks for Trial.
Those following the case closely pre
dict that it will require three weeks iu
which to wind it up; certainly it can
not be finished in less than ten days.
Tlie defense attorneys seem pretty
well satisfied they will be here longer
than is generally believed. They have
rented the beautiful home of Mrs. J.
P. Cameron, in the center of town,
in which to live; they have their own
I chef, and seem to be comfortably lo
cated.
| Both sides evidently expect to put
| prospective jurors under a micro
i seopic glass. W. B. Love, of Monroe,
has been retained by the state, while
the defense has perhaps the cream of

appointing, the courtroom was large |
enough to care for all spectators com- |
fortnbly; the gallery was only partial-■
,ly filled. However, as the case gets
! underway iu earnest, great throngs
are expected.
, To the casual observer W. B. Cole
; looks the part of anything but a kill
er. He is a typical business man;
there are hard lines in his face; his
hair, partly curly, is iron gray. Ho
has the mien of a man confident of
himself. But no one would pick him
as a shooter. After his case had been
terminated for the day, lie was per
mitted to remain in the court room to
listen to other cases. He smiled oc
casionally and talked intermittently
with friends and kinspeople.
Miss Colo Fresh as a Daisy.
Miss Elizabeth Cole came into court
fresh as a daisy. She was modestly
dressed in a pretty but not gorgeous
spring frock. She is not of the Map
per type. One would spot her as an !
athletic girl, probably a gym teacher.!
There is nothing of the daredevil
about her. She wore a brilliant dia
mond ring on ’her engagement finger.
Opinion here is sharply divided
over the killing of Ormond, the one
time suitor of Miss Elizabeth Cole.
Residents tell you how young Or
mond returned from the hospitals of
France a soldier broken in health as
a result of German gas; that he and
Miss Cole commenced associating to
gether and that his association soon
ripened into love. It was town gos
sip. so the reports say, t’ll at the two
young people were engaged to be
married.
Rev. Mr. Ormond sat throughout
the brief sessions today. He was
silent and bore the signs of brief.
Hi son. Allison, a lad in his early
20’s, remained by his side through
out the day.
They came to Rockingham in the
j car in which Bill was slain. Tonight,
j tile opposing corps of counsel are |
I poring over their war maps, prepara- j
tory for the zero hour. There’s hard
ly an doubt but that this will eclipse
anything of its kind ever tried in
the 0!d North State.
