Becomes Nervous on Stand

FULLY DISCUSSED
State Lawyer Attacked Ev
ery Detail of Cole’s Tes
timony During the Long
Examination.
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

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.

THE COTTON MARKET
Showed Renewed Weakness Earl) To
day.—December Declined to 22.H4.
New York. Oct. 3.—OP)—The cot
ton market showed renewed weakness
early today. After opening steady
at an advance of one point on Oc
tober, prices then became two to six
points net lower, easing off under
hedge selling, liquidation, or local and
Wall Street selling. December de
clined to 22.84, active months general
ly showing neb losses of 10 to 18
points by the end of the fitjst hour.
The decline to new low ground for
the movement was accompanied by
reports of an easier spot basis in
Texas, while the bullish sentiment
probably was encouraged by the easier
ruling of Liverpool. Trade buying
and, covering were reported on a eale
down, but hedge selling appeared to I
be more nctiva• than previously this,
week.
Cotton futures opened steady Oct.
22.00; Oct. 23.00; Jan. 22.22; March

AGREEMENTS ARE
NOT SUFFICIENT
Nations Must Agree on
Disputes Rather Than
Settle Them on Battle
Fields As In the Past.
Washington. Oct. 3.— <JP) —Solemn
warning by Elihu Root that "contro
versies and quarrels between nations
are certain to come.” and that “mere
agreements not to have these things
happen are futile." was sounded to
day in bis paper oil codification of in
ternational law. presented by Repre
sentative Theodore Burton !o the In

here. ,
The paper's author recognized by the
conferees a. one of the world's out
standing antlior’ties on international
affairs, held that codification had a
special importance at this time, be
cause of the necessity of enlarging the
.services rendered b.v the permanent
court of international justice. Tlie
! court was one of a group of related
institutions with the league of na

j tion. which the writer asserted prom
i ised “to facilitate the preservation of
peace to a degree never before attain
ed."
“Tlie-e three institutions for con
ference. for judicial decision and tor
arbitration are still in their infancy,”
Mr. Root said, “but they have made
extraordinary development in the last
30 years, and the simple fact of their
existence is already changing the way
in which mankind thinks and feejs
about the disposition of international
controversies without War.”

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.
