Cole Called Ormond
“Damnable, Mean, In
sulting Cur.”—Ormond’s
Answer Recorded.
Richmond County Court House,
Rockingham. Oct. 2.— (A 3 )—Ten wit
nesses for the defense had testified to
the "splendid reputation’’ of Miss
Elizabeth Cole today in the progress
of the trial of her father for the mur
der of W. W. Ormond, mt one time a
sweetheart of the young woman.
Miss Octavia Scales, fiancee of Eon
Phillips, director of the prosecution,
testified for the defense that in a con
versation with the young woman last
fall Miss Cole had expressed herself
as glad that she and Ormond had
"broken up.” *
The State contends that Miss Cole
loved Ormond and gave him up be
cause of parental objection. The de
fense claims that the young woman
broke her relations with Ormond of
her own accord when site knew she
did not love him.
Miss Cole testified yesterday that
she broke her love affair with Ormond
in the fall of 1924. Miss Scales,
who said she was an intimate friend,
described a conversation some time in
the fall in which'she had remarked to
the 21 year old young woman:
"I believe the conversation started
something like this:
" 'I hear you and Bill have brok
en up,’ «nd I said I knew it was‘hard
to give up a f iend like that, 'because
while yon had never told me anythiux
f thought that you had grown fond
of Rill'." ' v
"She said ‘ I did, but T have found
him out now and it is all over and 1
am glad. ’ ”
The State cross examined all but
three of the character witnesses and
brought out that over a i>eriod of a
year Mr. Cole had been a rational man
and no noticeable change of conduct
except nervousness had been observed
since the homicide.
Erode Bynum testified that he had
represented Cole in transactions, with
\V. W. Ormond.
Mr. R.vnum said Cole came to him
on the morning of February 20, 1925.
Cole's manner, he said, was unusual.
"He didn't speak but came into my
office and sat down. The first thing
he said to me was ‘hold my hands.’
He was crying as he stretched out his
hands. After a few minutes he said:
" 'Fred, it's that damnable Bill Or
morfd.' ’’
Cole then became composed and pro
duced a letter. Bynum said and told of
a conversation with Ormond earlier in
which Ormond had eome to his house.
The witness said Cole told him. he had
remarked to Ormond that his daugh
ter had acnualnted hint with her
change toward Ormond, and had sug
gested that since she'did not love him,
for him not to bother her.
Ormond left soon after, and later
Cole received a note from Ormond a
“bit sullen" Bynum said Cole told
him. Cole later received another let
ter and-' went to Elizabeth with it,
and she asked to let her answer it.
Bynum’s testimony then corroborat
ed that of Miss Cole yesterday, in
which she described receipt by (Ssle
of a letter from Ormond, mentioning
relations of “man and wife.”
Cole in answer to that letter ad
dressed to Ormond a short note be
ginning:
“You damnable, nfeun, insulting
cur." It said that if he ever heard
anything else about Elizabeth from
him, or through him, he would “fill
your body full of lead.’’
The letter was identified by the wit

resS, and introduced into evidence by
the defense.
Ormond's answering note also Iden
tified and introduced, included such
phrases as:
“You are going to chew and swal
low all that, enr stnfr.” • “To call you
a cur is too great a compliment.’’
“Will show when it becomes neces
sary. Your bluffing has eome to an
end.”
Rome time after this, Bynum said,
he volunteered to try to settle the
matter with Ormond. He was ac
companied to Raleigh by Mr. Cole
after Cole had insisted on accompany
ing Bynum and W. A. Jenkins, their
only other confidant of Cole.
The witness testified over objections
that he had objected to Cole’s ac
companying him because “he was
afraid to have Cole go in suefi a
state of mind.’’
In Raleigh where they understood
to be, they learned that W.
W. Ormond was in Nashville at the
hime of his father, Rev. A. L. Or
mond, and it was agreed that Bynum
was to go to Nashville.
Bynum said he saw the two men
and after their conference wired Cole
"Everything all right. Meet me to
night on No. 11.”
When he met Cole on his return,
Bynum said, Cole's first remark was
“Your wire certainly made me. feel
good.”
The witness was allowed to tell the
jury what he had told Cole in the
conference.
The substance of Bynum’s testi
mony was that Rev. A. L, Ormond
agreed that his son and Cole should
stop such a correspondence. Or
mond told him he had not intended the
letter as Cole had taken it, but he
did think Cole should let his daugh
ter marry whom" she pleased, instead
of trying to make her marry some- '
one else.
• After settlement had been agreed
upon, Bynum said he addressed the
letter to Cole ami Ormond signed it.
The letter, introduced in evidence,
was an apojogy from Ormond for
writing the letters. v
“My purpose in writing threatening
letters wus to induce you to let me
see Elizabeth, whom I have always
loved since I first met her.”
In closing it, lie agreed that lie
would not write threatening or abus
ive letters, and that he would never
again attempt to see or communicate
with him or his daughter. The letter
was signed “Yours very truly.”
After obtaining Hie letter. Bynum
said, he accompanied Ormond to Ral
eigh in the former’s ear by invitation.
While en route Bynum said Ormond
told him that “all Cole though of
was a dollar.’’
During the conversation Ormond
spoke out voluntarily one time, By
num said, “If Cole ever crosses my
path I'll shoot him through.” Bynum
said Ormond reached to tile pocket of 1
his ear, and showed him a pistol. By- 1
num gave his testimony as his report I
to Mr. Cole. I
Bynum said Cole came to his of-1
fice one Saturday, in May, and nerv-1
ouxly informed him that Bill Ormond
was in town. Cole asked him what
he should do, and Bynum sail) he told
him that although he disliked advis
ing a man to arm himself, he believed
Col# should be prepared.
In July Bynum said he received
two. letters from Ormond which he
showed to Cole. The letters were in
troduced in evidence and read to the
jury. They were written from State
College.
Attempted bribery of witness for
defendant was charged by Clyde
Douglas in his cross examination of
Bynum.

COMMANDER JOHN

Washington. Oef r 2. — (A>)—Com
mander John Rogers, hero of the
thrilling adventures of the PN-0 No. ■
1, told the President's aircraft board
today that development of the air
plane had made necessary the estab
lishment of a department of national
defense which would include both the
army and navy.
The need for n proper scientific or
ganization of th<* national defense,
Commander Rogers said, was plainly
apparent. Declaring that recent naval
disasters were not due to any blame
on the part of the navy, he declared
•’there is something vitally wrong
with the navy department.*’
The commander of the Hawaiian
flight, however, opposed either a unit
ed air force, or separate air^corps
such as have been urged by various
witnesses before the hoard, declaring
the problem engaging the study of the
hoard was one involving essentially
n revision of the present Organization.
So far as aviation itself was con
cerned as an interior problem, ,he be
lieves the question might be satisfac
torily solved for the moment by the
proper establishment of an aviation
budget, by improvement of personal
situation, fixing by laws the reten
tion of officers in the line of the. navy

“The Bath Bun” is the name of a

that he fats a Bath bun placed at
the entrance. Failing this, he pays a

LARGEST SAVINGS
BANK IN THE WORLD
Amazing Progress Made by Savings
Institutions in the United States.
New York, Oct. 2-—The dinner
given at the Hotel Biltmore this
week in commemoration of the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the open
ing of the Emigrant Industrial Sav
ings Bank in this city, calls to unnd
the amazing progress rhat has been
made by savings institutions in the
United States since 1815-1816, when
the first incorporated banks of the
kind were opened almost simultane
ously in Boston, Philadelphia and
New York.
When the Emigrant Industrial
Savings Bank warn opened for busi
ness in 1850 it had a working capital
of les< than .$4,000. Today it has re
sources approaching $300,000,000,
and in this respect it is the largest
saving* institution in the world. It
is interesting to recall that the buhk
project had its inception in the mind
of Archbishop Hughes, who took the
initial steps in organizing the insti
tution. His object was to found a
bank to protect the savings of Irish
immigrants and to co-operate with
the Irish Emigrant Society, of which
he was president, in affording them
a safe method of sending their earn
ings back to Ireland. The bank was
opened in October, 1850, and by the
end of the year it boasted of 205 de
positor-, who had about. $35,000 to
their credit. By 1010 the number of
depositors had to 125.000 and
the deposits exceeded $100,000,000.
THE COTTON MARKET
Opentd Bartty Steady Today at De
cline of 6 to 12 Points and Was
Weak in Early Trading.
New York, Oct. 2.— (A 3 ) —The cot
ton market opened barely steady to
day at a decline of 0 to 12 points and
was weak in early trading owing to
disappointing Liverpool cables, re
ports that cotton previously taken up
on October contracts was being re
tendered and increase private esti
mates for the crop. December sold
off to 23.13 by the end of the first
hour, the general market showing net
losses of about 23 to 23 points.
According to early estimates, no
tices representing about 18,000 bales
were issues against October contracts,
and there were four private crop re
ports with yield indications ranging
from about 13,400,000 up to 14.5C0,-
