birt Seems Safe. I
The fate of those persons seeking i
police jobs will be decided tonight j
when the aldermen gather at the city \
hall for the regular October meeting. \
Great interest has been aroused, de- (
spite the fact that within the past l
M 6 hours the report has been widely f
circulated that not more than two %
changes at the most are to be made y
in the police department's personnel, y
Xo one seems to know just who will $
be dropped if the aldermen do decide y
to make some changes. At onetime j
or another practically every member %.
of the department has been “let down’* c
by reports, but that the reports in \
the main are unrealiable is shown by f
the fact that a new victim is added t
each day with the explanation that t
the former report was all wrong. j
There seems to be no doubt about
the status of Chief Talbirt. It is <
known wihout doubt that he has the 1
support of several aldermen and it is ]
believed he will be supported by prac- t
tically all of them when the voting i
starts. t
It was reported this morning that i
all members of the department have
made application for re-election and 1
in addition application has been made t
by Homer Fisher, C. 8. Wall and M. 1

Sidelights on the Cole Trial !
R. E. POWELL IN WINSTON-SALEM SENTINEL
Rockingham, X. C., September 80.
—lt is rather reliably said here that
Cole worries more over the reference
to him—in the newspapers—as a mil
lionaire and to Bill Ormond, the boy
he shot down on the streets, as a
“poor, gassed ex-soldier” thau about
anything else. Friends, close friends,
of the family, told today how he pro
tested against the contrast.
Cole is wealthy. The tax books
don’t show it. but it is a matter of
very common knowledge. As a bus
iness man. he is of enough influence
to have been asked by large power
companies to go to Washington aud
oppose the sale of Muscle Shoals to
Henry Ford. He is not as wealthy,
and his mills are not as large, but
there is only one other cotton mill ex-'
ecutive who is regarded so favorably
in tlie industry. That is Sam l*at
terson. of the Roanoke Rapids and
Rosemary mills.
Money, it has been reported, has
been a great factor in Cole’s life. The
suggestion is made locally, as pub
lished in one of the Sunday papers,
that money influenced the Cole mar
riage. It is now said, with much col
or of fact, that money had no little to
do with “smoking out” the pistol which
Ormaud had in his car the day he was
killed. A friend of the dead mau’s,
William Scales, found it after the car
had been driven to a doctor’s office.
He carried it with Ormond’s scarf pin
and watch to Miss laiura Jane Steele,
the young woman Ormond had just
made an engagement with when shot.
Miss Steele is related to Miss Fan
nie Steele, who is related to the Coles.
Mjss Fannie Steele, a spinster, is her
self quite wealthy. The younger Miss
Steele was. at the time of the shoot
ing. a potential beneficiary of her
aunt's wealth. The story is told that
wbeta the report of a pistol having
been found in the car reached the <le-j
fen so. if found difficulty in locating
. it. Manouvers were started through
the elderly M : ss Steele, who is report
ed to have informed her ueiee that
. unless that pistol was produced there
might be some change in her will, i
On the other hand, there seems to
l have been no secreting of Ormond’s
gun. Young Scales told Isaac Loudon.
. editor of the local paper, that it # was
. the natural tiling for him to carry
tin* pistil, along with Bill Onnoud’s
watch and scarf, to Miss Laura Jane
St<ele. The two were exceptionally
. fa>t friends. Miss Steele and Scales
, will be w : tnesses for the defense.
IF is generally expected that the
ea>i» will last through next week.
, There are fourteen lawyers and noth-;
! inn but the loss of speech will keep
( any of the number from addressing
; the jury. It is rather * certain that
Clyfie Roark Hocy, the silver tongued
■ barrister from Cleveland, will (dose
the ease for tin* prosecution. It seems 1
, quite probable that Janies A. Lock
. hart will make the last plea for the
, defense. Lockhart is an effective
speaker and lie has greater endurance
. than James H. I*ou. chief of the de
, sense counsel. All the attorneys for
j Cole are quartered in a private home
here.
f Juge T. B. Finley, who will pre
side over tin* eqse, is among other
[ things, a Fresbyteriun. lie is t'ae

What Doug Really Did Was to Give
Quarter Million to Mother-in-Law
I .os Angeles. Sept. 27.—Douglas
Fairbanks has given his wife. Mary
Bickford, a quit-claim deed to his
'naif of the $1,009,000 worth ol real
estate which she has bought here since
she became Mrs. Fairbanks ten years
ago.
Miss I'ickford did not pay $1,000,-
000 for the realty, which consists
mostly, it is said, of unimproved lots,
now estimated as worth even more
than a million.
Under the California community
property law, a husband or wife in
herits half tire property of the other
if accumulated subsequent to their
marriage.
Miss Bickford is holding this realty
for an expected rise, and the originul
purchase prices represented her prof
its from the production of motion pic
tures.
By formal and duly executed pro
cesses of law Miss Bickford and her
mother. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, ure
aud for some time have been, part
ners sharing equally in all profits, and
likewise expenses, arising not only
from Miss Bickford's motion picture
activities but also from ventures iu
utlier lines of iucluding real
estate.
This agreement is attested by the
functioning of the Bickford Company,

«lair, who tried the Martin county
mob. is also a Presbyterian.
Cole is naturally a nervous type.
He smokes a great many cigarettes
aud it is said that he has increased
the number since lie has been confined
in jail. Instead of sallow, as pictures
might lead a reader to imagine, he' is
flush of check. His six weeks and
three days in jail do not appear to
have impaired his health.
He is the small town success, whose
big contribution to society is '.r. the
wealtli lie lias created. Os course lie
lias made it possible for hundreds of
poor people to earn, meat and bread 9
money. His world is the world about i
Rockingham and iu a few more years, 1
had tragedy not halted his pbenotne, I
nal success in an industry which ev
erywhere else is paralyzed now, very
probably would have completely dom
inated the business life of this little
town and in consequence, of more
than half of Richmond county.
Everyone hereabouts is inclined to
accept at full face value Cole's re
puted explanation, made to Cyclone
Mack, of the killing. The mantle of |
charity, which a part of the conmutn- |
tty at least, lias been disposed t«> 9
throw about him has been draped ov- 9
cr the crime because the biggest part |jj
of the community feels that he believ- 9
cd. even in the eye of the law. that ’j
that he was justified iu putting an |
end to the chap whose physical pres- J
ence infuriated him. The “toe nail” _
story, while true, will not be urged
iu extenuation of any mental lapses
the defense will plead.
It is still uncertain what thy plea
will be. but the so-called "unwritten
law,” will hardly be the paramount
defense. If Cole were to contend, or
attorneys were to contend for him.
tijjit he shot young Ormond because
Orpoopd wrote a slanderous letter
nbtjufi bis daughter. Judge Finley
would be compelled to charge a jury
that be is guilty of murder in the first
degree by his own testimony.
! Attorneys for the state do not
think that this question will be relied
upon now. They do not think, even,
that the wide circulation of an alleged
copy of a letter the young ex-service
man wrote Miss Cole has been for the
purposes of the trial. It lias been done,
they believe, for its possible benefit iu
the event a verdict of lesser than first
degree is returned and an appeal is
subsequently made to the governor for
a pardon. The "letter" has been wide
ly distributed. It is even reliably re
ported that copies of the alleged let
ter were only recently circulated at a
barbecue in this county.
Informal discussion of the ease
amongst attorneys—and there is. of
course, no formal discus.-ton —yester-
day revealed a strong probability that
I Miss Elizabeth Cole, in the event she
takes the stand for her father, will not
j be subjected to any cross examination
j by. the State. Some slight friction has
| arisen among prosecution lawyers over
j whether she should be or shonlil not
be. The reason for not cross exam
ining her, in the light of the letter
it continues to be said the defense re
lies upon, is obvious.
The State is prepared to meet the
one letter which it contends was writ
■ ten by Ormond to Cole. If others
are introduced there will be an array
. of handwriting experts brought down
I to testify.
Inc., under the laws of California.
This corporation was formed six or
seven years ago. Thus by the quit
claim deed, Fairbanks presents his
mother-in-law at least a quarter of a
million dollars worth of property.
On very good authority it was slat
ed today that Jlary Bickford's for
tune, made up of picture studio prop
erties. picture rights, real estate,
jewels, stocks and bonds, etc., amounts
to at least $3,000,000. The egmes au
thority estimates Fairbanks fortuue
at more Ilian $5,000,000.
Fairbanks and his wife, contrary to
popular impression, are not business
