WAS BLUFFING IN HIS LETTER He Meant Ormond Was a - Liar and Cur, But Was Bluffing About Shoot ing Him. Richmond County Court House, Rockingham, N. C„ Oct. it.—(>P)— Facing cross examination by the State, U B. Cole took the witness stand today to answer the/Charge of the state that he deliberately killed W: W. Ormond, formerly his daughter's sweetheart. Clyde Hoey, of Shelby eondneted the cross examination of Chile, who yesterday testified that he killed Or mond "to keep him from killing roe and having my family at his mercy." Cole’s testimony followed introduc tion of letters that itassed between the men, in which Ormond de clared relations of "mnn/ana wife” had existed between him and Cole’s daughter. Cole's one reply had threatened to •hoot Ormond "full of lead” if ever he heard auy derogatory remarks about* his daughter from Ormond or through him. “Wore you sane when yon killed Bill Ormond, or were you crazy?” was Clyde lloey’s first question. “I think that is a (mention for someone else to answer.” Hoey attempted to get the witness _ to say he never intended to plead in sanity and Oole said he hftd nothing to do with his defense. —-•©Mn’t you go to Ormond's Mff from the rear?” Cole insisted he fired after he got to the car. The witness test’fied that so far as he knew Ormond had not seen him or his daughter or communicated with them since the agreement. The question of Cole's sanity ngain wns broached, and the witness said he believed he was sane now. The defense took its exception when tlie state asked Cole if he had not heard witnesses testify yesterday that he had appeared his usual self during the months preceding the shooting. C Cole said the witnesses were not in timate friends, only ncqtiaintanoes. "Did you mean the letter you wrote to Ormond?" "I meant to bluff him.” The letter begnn "You damnable, mean,‘insulting cur,” and threatened to shoot Ormond "full of lead” if he ever attempted to slander his daugh ter. /■ “Did you mean the damnable part?” "Yea/' "Did you mean the cur part?” “Y'es." "Did you mean the full of lead part?” “I meant to.bluff him.” "Do you mean yon meant two thirds of it and not the other third?” "I meant to bluff h : m.” "Do -you think Bill Ormond could know which part you meant?" Cole said he supposed he couldn't. The witness wns becoming nervous under the rapid fire of questions. “When Mr. Bynum showed yon the. letter frotn the Rev. Mr. Ormond so far as you knew Ormond had abided by his agreement not to see you or yetir daughter?” The witness said "Yes.” The Rev. Mr. Ormond’s letter to Bynum said he believed Cole owed his «on an apology for calling him a cur, that his son felt it a reflection upon his mother. The witness again waß forced to the subject of his sanity. "Isn’t it true you never meant td apologize. You pre sane now and yon wouldn’t apologise now?” "1 would not. I did not thlnk.„l t—U-"-k —-jmi -U.l-Jta.'.'iwww lif m-km aj„ H if- U GEORGE LARKIN in if *Ckirti Oat Action Drama 0 -isusarJ Monday Mid Tucsdiy 1] : CWlIi DeMIGLK Offers fej The Concord Daily Tribune . North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily owed him nn apology. I meant no reference about his mother, and I be lieve jt an insult from him to ask me for an apology after slandering thy daughter. I might have then, if I J had been normal.” Oimond’s war record came to the fore in Hoey’s question about a letter from Cole to W. N. Everett, Secretary of State. April 20, 1023, asking him to help Ormond. “Bill is a good fellow,” the letter said. "There is not much force to Bill, and almost everything else but killed.'’ "He was everything but killed in the war. and you killed him?” "Yes.” Cole was asked if he hadn't known Ormond was deaf in the right ear more than in the left. (Cole in shoot ing Ormond approached from the right side). , Mr. Hoey was attacking every de tail of Cole's testimony. The witness' was nervous, and objections of she defense counsel were frequent. Mr. Hoey drew from the witness ev ery answer that might tend to show Cole a mnn of the most decided opin ion. with a long practice of doing any thing he wanted to do. “Didn’t your attorneys forbid you to go to Raleigh with them?” "They Mid me not to go.” ‘"You went, didn't yon?” “Yes.” /C “You took their advice when you wanted to, and when yoif didn't, you did different?” “I went to Raleigh." Every question asked the witness during the tvvo hours of examination sought to destroy Cole's given reason for killing Ormond to protect himself and family. The cross examination was ended at 12 :<).■> p. m. . Five witnesses then were sworn by the defense. Miss Edith McLeod, secretary of Cue Hannah Pickett Mills for twelve years, testified that she remembered a day when Cole and Jenkins, his superintendent, left Jhe mill office in February. . Cole had testified he took Jenkins into his confidence about the "sland er" letter he received from Ormond. The witness said Cole was stand **»<• War ihe Wratow- in’ his eyes, and a “queer” expression on his face. Sfie mentioned Inter occa sions when she had observed his con dition not normal. On cross examination Miss BcLeod said she was as anxious to have Cole acquitted as she would her father. IV. C. Douglas tried to get the wit- ‘ ness to say that all of the orders tor directing the mill had emanated from the jail. He charged that Cole and his assistant treasurer had slept to gether in the jail every night, and that every order had come from their con ferences. The witness said that during Cole's incarceration they had "got along all right” in their business. She wns excused and court adjourned untitl 2 o’clock. \ Biggest Damn Lie. Rockingham, Oct. I.—“ That was the biggest damn lie I ever heard,” declared James McQueen, of Max ton, who served throughout the war with W. W. Orinop4 in referring to the statement of J. A. Lockhart, of the defense counsel for W. B. Cole, that Ormond had never been witbin twenty-five miles of the front. McQueen declared that he and Or mond volunteered together in the Wil mington Light Infantry. He stated that Ornlbnd was at the front in France for four or five months. He was with Ormond when their outfit wtfs gassed, he said, and also saw him when Ormond's car drums wernpunc . tiired by concussion from a French 75 gun on which Ormond was gun pointer. McQueen was here today to attend the trial of Cole for the murder or Ormond. SappenfieM to See Wildcats and Bap tists.

METHODISTS SEEK TO SEE IF NEW YORK IS MENACE If New York Is a Frankenstein Then Action Will Be Taken. Washington, Oct. 2.—Congress may be asked to abolish New York. The JSoard of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Moral* of the Methodist Epis copal Church, which 'had a large part in the elimination of the saloon, is conducting an investigation with a view to determine* whether or not “New York is a menace?'* Once it is settled, if the answer i*> in the af firmative. then some move to improve conditions will be made. “The West wants to know if New York is a menace?” the Methodist board asks. “Throughout a great part of the territory of the United States the people are asking whether or not they have created a Franken stein in building the* gigantic city of which they are so proud. “The whole country has assailed the indecency of a certain large group p of magazines and of the product of certain popular novel writers. Most of thi* nastiness is coming out of \ew York City. '— Fully two years ago there was a nationwide outburst of indignation over the character of theatrical exhi bitions emanating from New York City. Particular objection was had Ito nakedness, profanity, blasphemy and obscenity in these productions. Now the word comes from New York I that the present season i* to be the pro fa nest and nakedest in American history. ‘‘From New York, emanates most of the popaganda inciting to viola tion of the prohibition law and at tacking the standards of American ism which Greenwich Village calls “Puritanism.” “No great city in the world has a larger group of high minded, pa triotic, intelligent business men than *Xew York. They have considered themselves, and the country has been glad to consider them, custodians of the financial power of the country and its leaders in social development. But recently the great mass of un- American people which plagues that city have seemingly found that they arc in aetualy majority and are eon , vinced that they do not need to con j *ider those with American habits of j life within the city's borders, nor those with “puritanical” habits of thought out in the vast spaces where, in their opinion, the Indians howl and the buffaloes roam. ”If New Y'ork was the safety of j its own future in mind, it will apply pressure upon the theatrical produc ers, publishers of erotic literature ami the propagandist of crime.
