State Contends That Any

Down Prepared State
ment After Inquiry.
Richmond County Court House,
Rockingham. Oct. 5.—C4 I ) —The pros
ecution of \Y. It. Cole, on trinl for
the slaying of W. W. Ormond, won a
temporary victory today When .tudge
Finley excluded tiie testimony of R.
R. Simmons until after lie has pre
pared a decision dealing with the
point.
Simmons' testimony concerns re
marks alleged to have been made by
Ormond about Miss Elizabeth Cole,
daughter of the manufacturer on
trial.
Richmond Comity Court House.
Riekingham. (let. — (A> ) —The de
fense of W. It. Cole shouldered to
day the double burden of continuing
the introduction of evidence in sup
port of pleas that the wealthy cotton
manufacturer killed \V. W. Ormond
while insane and in self-defense.
• The trial was delayed r r e\v min
utes while Judge I*. A. .\ , r h<fs Tvj’'”"
ver.ed and adjourned the res';. I *jfe‘v*
of Richmond County Superior ' expect
*■ To establish their contention
Ormond promiseously slandered My
Elizabeth Cole, the defense called
It. Simmons. The State objected and.
the jury was excused while counsel 1 ,
argued the admissibility of Simmons'
t*'“i imon y.
—*X 1. foOley presented the 'States'
contention that the virtue of Mias
Elizabeth Cole is not at issue, and
that the State repeatedly had declined
to question her character. W. B.
Cole is being tried for murder, 'he
said, and the woman's virginity is of
no consideration.
He then attacked the defense plea
of insanity.
"Cole testified on oath that he re
membered the minutest details in the
killing of Ormond. He testified on
oath that he is sam' today. Ndw lie
pleads transitory insanity which we
understand ydfir Honor has ruled I
against. He is sane today and has
testified he would kill Ormond today
under the same circumstances. How
could he have been insane?”
Judge Finley interrupted to say
that fie had allowed this character
of testimony to show the effect on
Cole's mind, that the court was pro
ceeding with t'lie understanding that
Cole's plea was sanity, call it what
he will. He lias ruled against emo
tional insanity, moral insanity, and
brainstorm.
Clyde Hoey also expressed the
State’s contention that any remark
not communicated to ('ole could not
have affected his ntind.
The defense fought for the evidence
in support of its plea of “transitory
insanity" and based its request for
Simmons' testimony on four points:
"That it showed the malice of Or
mond : thfit it would corroborate Fred
Bynum and other witnesses who tes
tified they had communicated slander
ous remarks of Ormond: the defense
contended in tiie nliird place that the
evidence, would tend to reduce the of
fense from murder to manslaughter;
that it would show the recklessness of
Ormond.”
Judge Finley first ruled that the
evidence might go to the jury as tend
ing to show the malice of Ormond
as interpreted by Cole from -similar
remarks communicated to him. The
State charged the defense with bring
ing the question of Miss Cole’s Vir
ginity to becloud tiie jury.
Prolonged discussion by the State
caused Judge Finihy to reserve his
final decision.

♦ 1
car away from the scene of the shoot
ing. testified for the defense that l" 1
did not place a pistol in Ormond's
car.
On cross-examination West admit
ted that a week later same one men
tioned a pistol and he went to Wil
liam Scales and told him there was
a possibility of his being indicted for
perjury if he didn't tell everything
he might know of it.
West conferred with W. B. Lee,
assistant treasurer of the Hanna’h
Pickett Mills. lind W. A. Jenkins,
the superintendent, the day after the
shooting.
"Yon wore a sort of runner for I,ec
and Jenkins in their efforts to get
evidence for Cole, weren't von?"
"Well, yes.”
"Didn't Lee tell yon to tell these
fellows they might he indicted for tier
jury if they didn't tell all they
know?"
Larry Moore was directing the
questions.
West find testified he told Scales
lie mig'ht be indicted for perjury.
He answered Mr. Moore's question
by saying that Lee had told him they
eould be indicted.
The defense witnesses were corrob
orating previous testimony and were
being asked to testify concerning I
Cole's “queer actions" and conversa
tion. tending to support Cole's plea
of self defense.
On cross-examination the State
brought tile friendly relations be
tween witnesses and Cole and charged
that every effort was made by the de
fense to bring evidence that would
aid Cole.
Tin l defendant ,was nervous and dur
ing the examination of his superin
tendent paid close attention.
Jenkins described Ids observations
of Cole but tiie defense struck a snag .
when th> witness was not allowed to i
give his opinion of Cole's mental con-
The court sustained the I
■*'>ts , e's objection, and tiie defense took I
to 'tvxc. ptic.ns vapidly.

\ituc since February and had j

family rminond killed bitn. Cole is]
jf the day liager.
‘Jie loyal \w was sustained when tfen-
A .'JiUgfeUt'Jvas not allowed to describe
a conversation with Cole on the eve
ning of the homicide.
The jury was excused while Jenkins
was allowed to put into tiie record his
testimony.
The state tore into Jenkins with an
attack on every phase of his testi
mony. Larry Moore attempted toI
make the witness say that if his fam
ily was slandered he would resent it I
with his fist, drew from the witness j
the remark "I guess I would.”
Jonathan Daniels has the following!
in tiie Raleigh News and Observer: j
The State is not trying the virtue of >
Elizabeth Cole but she lias branded
her dead sweetheart a liar for his let
ter that they lived together, as man
and wife for over a year. The de
fense claims that Cole was driven in
to insantiy by this "grossest slander."
The State may be forced into present
ing evidence in an attempt to show
that Ormond wrote not slander but the
truth.
Interest in further developments of
the trial centers around the question
as to whether Elizabeth Cole's letters
will bear out her testimony or show
that Bill Ormond wrote the truth.
Counsel for the defense do not
know the 'contents of tlib letters from
Elizabeth Cole to her former sweet
heart except in so far ns the girl has
told them from memory. The State
has more than a score of letters writ
ten to Ormond by Elizabeth Cole and
identified by her when she testified
Thursday.
Today while judge and jury and at
torneys rested over the Sabbath, gos
sip about the letters was rife here.
Gossip declares that the letters are
full of dynamite.
When the 'letters of Ormond were
introduced in evidence last week the
State warned the defense that it did
not wish to attack the virtue of Miss
Cole.
Ormond in his letter charged Miss
Cole with telling her father one thing
and him another. The letters are ex
pected to show whether Bill Ormond
spoke the truth.
The defense has intimated in open
court that since the homicide Miss
Cole has been examined by three doc
tors in order to determine her virtue.
Since the beginning of the trial on
Wednesday, the State has presented
three witnesses to the actual homi
cide all of whom have testified* that
Ormond was lounging in an uncon
cerned manner in his enir when Cob'

;
Ishot him to death. One Witness...-testi
fied that Ormond was lazily smoking
I 1 a cigarette when Cole killed him.
The defense has presented evidence
to show that a pbtfol was found in a
I saddlebag on the door of Ormond's
car shortly after the shooting.
Cole film testified tlmt Ormond was
reaching for his gun to shoot him
when he killed Ormond.
“I shot him to protect my family
and myself,” Cole stated. "I am not
sorry for it." Cole's version of the
homicide has not yet been corroborated
by any other witness.
I Cole lias also testified that follow
ing the receipt of Ormond's "slander
| letter" on February Id, he was in a
, state of physical and nervous collapse
| until after the shooting. When he
| killed he swore his mind "was in a
I whirl.” After the homicide, he said
jhe “got a whole lot better." He stat
| ed that he does not know whether he
: was insane when he killed or not but
lie says he is sane now.
Two of Cole’s employes and M fits
Elizabeth Cole haye testified as to
Cole’s nervous condition.
Several prominent men and women
have testified to the good character of
Miss Cole.
* Cole's testimony about the trouble
with Ormond over his daughter has
been corroborated by Miss Cole, and
Fred Bynum, who went to Nashville
and secured a written apology from
Bill Ormond.
No alienists have yet been put on
the stand by either the State or the
defense.
Elizabeth Cole is not a pretty wom
an. She is it large woman with large
features. Her neck is large and
thick. Her skin is oily. Only her
eyes are pretty.
Yet she is a woman of remarkable
poise. She is 24 years old and far
removed from tire flapper type. She
has the look of a woman abundantly
able to take care of herself.
Cole has been deseribed by veteran
lawyers as the calmest man they ev
er saw on trial for his life. Only once
during the whole trial has he shown
any emotion. For the rest of the time
he has remained with inscrutable
face and only tapping lingers have be
trayed any nervousness. He has jok
ed with lvis friends in the court room
throughout the trial and discussed the
case with his lawyers us new evidence
has come out on the witness stand.
Rev. A. L. Ormond throughout the
trial has presented the pathetic fig
ure of a strong man stoically bearing
his grief. His daughters, Myra and
Ophelia, have been unable to control
their grief at times duriilg the presen
tation of evidence. Allison Ormond,
young medical student, lias borne up
manfully.

WORLD’S SERIES TICKETS
OFFERED AT $125 EACH
The Scalpers Expect to Reap a Har
vest From Ijilc Comers.
Washington, Oct. 5. —The office
force of Senator Simmons put on an
other major, but unavailing offensive
in the region of Clark Griffith stadium
today in the effort to secure a few
world series tickets- for the scores of
North Carolina folks who have writ
ten here in the hope of witnessing the
games. Some of the local papers stat
ed today that congressmen would be
taken eare of; but there must have
been some mistage about this. Spokes
men of the Washington baseball man
agement said if Senator Simmons
were present in the flesh, why. of
course, those in charge would sec to
it that he was favored with a ticket
or so. Fans living at a distance, how- :
ever, would have to take their chances
along with the general public. Appli
cation for tickets of admission from
the office of the senator would not
help them.
Enormous Prices.
The original price of two grand
stand tickets for three games here is
$33. Today for the same sets of tick
ets were being sold by sfcalpprs for
ST2S.
A News reporter, posing as a b : g
butter and egg man from the west
with a lot of world series coin, went
out looking for tickets today.
In the Willard Hotel he was told
that for $482 he could buy two upper
box seat tickets for the three games
here. They cost originally $39.(50.
In a barber shop he found a man
who had a single seat in a box next
to the President's box that he would
sell, for the first game here l , onlv, for
$125.
Down on the avenue between 12th
and 13th streets, is the “curb" mar
ket for world's series tickets.
The common price there is $125
for $33 worth of pasteboards.
The scalpers have a good supply of
tickets, investigation proves.
All one has to do is to let it be
known in a hotel lobby or around pool
rooms that he wants world series tick
ets. The scalpers pounce upon him.

New York, Oct. 5.-—OP)—The cot

decline of 5 points to an advance of
1 point. Many over-Sunday selling
orders appeared, particularly from file
South and December quickly cased off
to 22.75, or about 5 points net lower.
At thins price, however, there was a
good trade demand, and considerable
covering oil apprehensions that low
temperatures in the northwest might
work down into the belt. By the
end of the first hour December had
rallied to 22.88, active months gener

likely that the cold spell in the north
