Monday, October's, 1925 Def ense Os Cole Attempts To Prove His Insanity At Time . Os The Shooting Os Ormond Richmond County Court House, Oct. —The first determined effort in the defense r f William It. Cole to prove the wealthy eottou manufac turer insane at the time he killed W. W. Ormond, his daughter’s former sweetheart, came today. A crowded court room also heard the state charge the defense with publishing copies of the "slander" letters received by Cole for the pur pose of creating sentiment in his be lialf and obtaining evidence for bis , cause. After Cole was submitted to a gruelling three hour cross exatnina > tion during which the state sought ito force the admission that he killed Ormond to “shut his tongue' and not to protect himself, the defense swore five witnesses, two of whom testi fied to the ,"queer actions of the de fendant. Miss Edith McLeod, for 12 years nn employ of the Hannah Pickett Mill, of which Cole it manager, trwti fM*thnt on several pensions since 'gpst February she had observed Cole with “tears streaming from his eyes'’ nnd nit unnatural expression on his lace. It was on February 24 that he re ceived the letter from Ormond men-* tinning relations of "man nnd wife" with hi; daughter, and it is from that date Cole. declarw he has not been his natural self. W. I!. treasurer of the mill, employing Cole, testified .that he also had observed the "queer” actions of : his superior and on cross examination he refused to comit himself on the proposition that anger, business worries,,.or studied thought might produce the reactions he. noticed. .It was during his testimony that the state, charged the defense with publishing the "slander" letters ami with sending' to llaleigh to obtain a witness from Duke University, promising him t'uitiott if he would testify.* Leath admitted that he went to Raleigh. of his own acord, to ere a “certain person who had said things against Cole" for the purpose of shewing him a letter. The letter, which he said he did not read, was given to him by John'Porter, secre tary and treasurer of Steele’s Mill. Porter's son whom the state contends Cole desired his daughter to marry. Leath said he did not read the letter he took to Raleigh. He ad mitted he had read a copy of the "slander" letter. The state brought from him the admission that, lie wits *4 much interested in Cole’s defense ▼»at he had slept in the jail with Cole many tidies since the shooting. Miss Mclehtd, hi* secretary; had ad mitted that’ she was as interested in his defense as though he had been ■her father. Cole completed his direct examina tion with a description of what he did after the shooting, and, Clyde Hoey, state’s attorney, for three hours sought with rapid,fire ques tions to draw the admission from Cole that jie had been less interested in his owji protection than in Or mond’s remarks about his daughter. Cole admitted that so far a; he knew Ormond had kept the terms of bis agreement: thnt he would not' harm him or his daughter. He also said that his attorneys had told Jiini Ormond could have been convicted nnd sent to jail for slander. "Wouldn't it have been better to indict him and have his conviction a crushing admission of his guilt titan to have killed him aud brought all this slander of your daughter be fore the world?” "I didn't want to indict him" Cole said, “a conviction would not have stopped the talk about m.v daughter. I wanted that slander to be hushed." A pistol found in Ormond's car, which had been produced; figured in dircetly as one of the high p<vnts of the state's cross examination of wit ness. Mr. Leath testified that he had sent Jim West, an employ of his mill, to see William Schaies, a first cosin of Cole, for the purpose ot ob taining testimony. Scale testified Tuesday that West had driven Ormond's car away from the scene of the shooting and that he himself had found a pistol in the /ear later. Scales said he gave the •pistol to Miss return Page Steel, a ’Triend of Ormond and n relative of Cole. The state charged that I.cath worried about the pistol when he learned one had been found, and had sent West to Scales with the threat, of losing his job if he did not bring it back. Leath said he had made no fi,uch proposition, although he ad mitted sending for Scale*. The state brought out that Leath had had Scales meet with him at the mill on the Sunday after the shooting' for the purpose of talking over the situation. He aj;o admitted that He j had known Scales appeared as a | state's witness at. the corner's in-1 quod after the shooting. The defense is prepared Monday! to introduce expert testimony con cerning the relictions of tt mind i under normal nnd abnormal eOndi- 1 tions. in support of their *plea that ' Cole wan insane at the time of the shooting. George Beverly, a student at. Duke University, whom Leath ( was charges with having approached, was the last witness before adjournment. He tewtifie that he had been driven from Raleigh to Hamlet, near Rock ingham, by Ormond some time in February or March. , Ormond had asked him if he knew Bob Cole, the defendant’s son, Beverly said, and had remarked that he was "certainly a fine fellow'.’’ “He said Bob was not at all like his fathr that his father wits ’a pouchy man,' and then testified that •wrmond had told him about receiving o'tetter from Cole. Ormond told him lie had a letter telling him to keep away from Rockingham and threat ening to “shoot him full of lend.” He Said Ormond told him that he had an much right in Rockingham as , Cole nnd that, he was going to see Cole about the letter, i When Ormond mentioned the ■ threat, to shoot him, Beverly said Ormoml remarked that he would be ■ ready and reached over and patted a bag in the left hand pocket of the car. One of the most piolongcd lcgnl tilts of the trial developed over the defense’s attempt to have the witness say whether Ormond made any threat against Cole. After thirty minutes of arguing during which five attorneys exprnwd themselves. Judge Finley over ruled (he state ob jection. Beverly teslifrd thnt Ormond bad not made a threat. REV. MR. ORMOND NOT AFTER COLE’S LIFE BLOOD Probably Would Be First to Ask for Commutation—Merely Wahls Jus t iee. E. B. Hunter in Greensboro New*. Rockingham, Oct. 4.—ltev. A. L. Ormond, of Nashville, who carries, the deep furrows of grief in his comely face, is not here tiglning for the life , blcod of William 11. Cole, slayer of the pastor's oldest boy, William, August 15th. , An attorney, assisting in the prose cution of the wealthy tex'tilist. said this; afternoon if Mr. Cole is found guilty of murder in the first degree, Rev. Mr. Ormond would probably be the first signer of a petition to Gover nor McLean, asking that the death sentence bo commuted. "Mr. Ormond’s only wish.” said the lawyer, "is to see that justice is car ried out; if the slayer of his son is adjudged guilty he wants t’o see him punished, but he is not here asking that his Jifo tic forfeited." Rev. Mr. Ormond and his two daughters, attired in deep mourning clothes, attended the Rockingham Methodist Church this morning, he having served a quadrenniu'm there several years ago. Lay Wreaths On Grave. Iu the afternoon the Ormond* jour neyed to the little Green Hill ceme tery here wher Bill lies in eternal sleep. They carried two floral wreaths there and placed them tenderly on the new marked grave. Rev. Mr. Ormoml ami his daughters expect to remain here until the ver dict 'ik returned by> the Union county jury. The immediate members of Mr. Cole's family remained the greater part of the day in their home. Airs. Cole, the loyal wife, accompanied by her tivo daughters. Misses Elizabeth, around .whom the tragedy was enact ed, and Katherine, carried breakfast to her.husband in the Richmond iai] early this morning. Young Robert, last year a member of the student body at Duke University, took the dinner pail to his father around noon. Several visitors called on Cole this afternoon. He beggnd not to be called upon to discuss his case. He admitted, however, that Clyde Hoey put him through a stiff cross-exami nation. Switching quickly/ ho said a man must spend time in jail in order to appreciate fully the blessedness of freedom. "People,” he added, "don't give the prisoner eough considera tion. There are many persons lying in jails who are innocent of wrong doing ; they are the forgotten people of society.’’ Jail an Education to Him. Mr. Cole said that he has. since being put in jail, learned one side of life that he never knew before.. “A man must get in jail to learn some thing. It has been an education to me.” lie said, as he reached for a, cigarette. The accused manufacturer was dressed in a pair of white duck trousers and wore tan iiose and slip pers. He pas collariess. He appear ed anxious to be left alone, and shot out his hand to grasp that of visitor, then slipped quietly out of sight. Rockingham, today, with all the big legal guns at their respective homes for the week-end, returned to normal life after a feverish week. The at torneys are returning tonight, to be ready when court opens tomorrow lnorning at 10 o’clock. Seventeen Lawyers to Speak. It is understood that Judge Finley will inaugurate a night session pro gram after the attorney* begin ad dressing the jury. There nrf 17 men to take a whack at the jury. It expected that the oratory will begin flowing some time thiß week. Those who have kept close tab on the case believe that the speeches of the learned lawyers will play a tre i mendous part in the verdict. Some •go so far as to say that these ad dresses will do more to swing the I jury than testimony. Or course. Rockingham is. talking I practically of nothing but Cole, and | today saw no cessation. Interest now seems to center around the let ters written by Miss Elizabeth Col? to her one-time sweetheart. Bill Or- I mond, and the testimony of the alien ists for the State and defense. Toe case, so far is star witnesses are con cerned, has reached its crest. Is » Ccmplicated Case. The legal profession has a pretty case with entanglements enough to interest the most profound judicial mind. It appears pretty certain that Cple will never be thrown into the criminal insane asylum. The defense is driv ing hard behind the dual interfer ence —self-denial and insanity. The jury can find Cole not guilty on eith er of the grounds presented. Ordinar ily if a prisoner is found not guilty because he was insane at the time of the commission of an act, he would be required to appear before the court and show why he shouldn’t be sent to an asylum. Neither the State nor the defense contends ttiat Cole ia insane now. Judge Finley, one would suppose,. knows the defendant is sane now be cause no man could have weathered the sharp cross-fire of Clyde Hoey yesterday a* did Cole if he were men tally cracked. Home tiling of a first degree verdict as very remote; second degree seems to be the popular guess here if found guilty. WHAT ABOUT PROHIBITION? The Pathfinder. . The outcome of prohibition is doubtful. . There is misleading propaganda on I j both -side;;. some statistics tend to ■ show improved family and home conditions, ygt others, just as re ■ liable, indicate more drunkenness. When prohibition was adopted the country wanted it but. subsequence • events hnve complicated foe situation, i Business leaders are “wet.” Death from alcoholism is increas • ing ■ Respect for law is on 'the wane. The bootlegger is getting rich. These assertions conic from no less an authority than the Federal I Council of Churches. After months of investigation, its research and educa tion department, headed by the Rev. F. Ernest Johnson, incorporates I these findings in a report intended to be nn unbiased survery ofthe situn . tion. . "No cock-sure optimism is war ranted, nor in pessimism justified by fact-," tlie report says, adding thnt the fate of the dry law rests in th'e ’ "development of public opinion in . the negr future." It finds an “ttn favorable and disquieting" trend in , prohibition since 1026. Though satis fied that the passing of the saloon is ’ ayblessirg and that conditions in the homes of the poor have been better . ed, it admits that drinking among j young people has increased. "The tendency of vonng people to ‘ depart from conventional rules of be havior cannot be laid entirely to the door of prohibition,” it continues, "but the fnct flat prohibition has made no more decisive effect in heightening their moral tone gives food for earnest thought.” It- regrets 1 that tlie dry law has not checked the increase in crime. However, it finds nn ground for the assertion that pro bation has increased tlie use of 1 drugs. | The 110.000 word report asserts that prohibition has helped Ameriqa financially but adds: “It is note worthy that a questionnaire sent as part ofthis investigation to a thou sand or more business men. directors in important corporations selected at random, asking for their verdict as bii-inces men upon prohibition, yielded a predominantly ’wet’ result —not, apparently, so much beoaitso of Observed effects upon business or industry as because of strong per sonal prejddicc and dissatisfaction with the social and political results of prohibition ns they saw them.” “Prohibition publicity has suffer ed much from careless and unwar ranted inferences,” it complains in blaming the federal enforcement unit in particular for sponsoring the "unfortunate kind."

Goodman’s Health Restored by Using HERB JUICE.—Says He Feds Like a New Man Now. "HERB JUICE gave me relief from stomach trouble after other medicines had failed to help me, aud for this reason. And in consideration for other sufferers, I unhesitatingly' make this statement. 1 do not think anybody could take more pleasure in indorsing C. J. Goodman, who is employed at this great medicine than I do,” Mr. the Cemetery, and who resides at 8 Douglas Avenue, Concord, N. C., the above statement to the HERB JUICE demonstrator recently.. |Con titnuiug his (statement, he had this to say : "A friend told me about HERB JUICE and advised me to try it, but I was a little skeptical at first, for I had tried so many things without ben eficial results. Finally, I decided to try one bottle for I was suffering great pain on account of, a bad case of stomach trouble, from which I had tried in vain to ret relief for years. I was in a very badly rundown con dition and poor state of health, due to indigestion, gas pains, belching and bloating after eating. I was like a drowning man catching a tastraw , so here is where I started on HERB JUICE. After I began- using it I im mediately began to feel better ’in ev ery way and now I am able to eat anything I want without suffering one bit from indigestion, gas pains or bloating. I have found HERB JUICE to be a rel wonder worker when it comes to regulating the bow els and relieving one of those awful indigestion nains. My stomach is in better condition today than it had been for years. My food is properly digested and consequently I get the nourishment from my food that any healthy person should get. HERB JUICE has certainly toned up my suit of this, I feel perfectly safe and whole system in general, and as a re take great pleasure in indorsing and recommending this medicine to every one as the best laxative -and system regulator I have ever used.” HERB JUICE to guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded by - Gibeon Drug o>. ’ % \ THE CONCORD DAILY TkIBUNE Radio Saving Lives of Fifty on Land to Every Rescue Made Through It at Sea Health Exercises by Wire less Help Overcome Mi nor Physical Defects and Harmful Habits New York, N. Y.—When they apeak of the radio saving lives, the mind at once pictures the disabled ship at sea flashing the “SOS” call into the heaving blackness, and the next morning the rescue ship ap pears on the horizon. “This is not the most important life-saving service of the radio," i said Robert Lynn Cox, second vice president of the Metropolitan Life ' insurance Company. “For every life saved at sea this dramatic way, fifty can be saved on shore by radio : health exercises. “We, who are in the insurance business, know why people die. They don’t die because of storms at sea; they die in the greatest num bers, long before their time, be ■ cause of little, minor neglects and. i Physical fitness will largely offset the harmful effect of the minor ailments which lead to serious illness. This is why the Metropolitan has added the radio to pamphlet distribution, nursing care , and advertising campaigns for help ing people to keep themselves fit.” 1 Fans Enjoy Exercise Arthur Bagley, former Y. M. C. A. director, who starts his exercises at 6: Vo every morning except Sunday and is on the air for a full hour, has ; received thousands of letters from ; exercise fans in the Eastern Sea board States declaring that they are enjoying the exercises and gradual . Ijr getting the stiffness out of their Underground New York Part of underground New York is ; familiar to everybody who has visit ed the metropolis 'or 'who lives there. The many miles of transit subways; the sub-surface railway terminals; the underground entrances to hotels and department stores —these are among the well-known wonders of the city. They are. however, but a small part of a vast subterranean labyrinth of tunnels, conduits, subways and mains, most of which are ignored by the guide-books and hardly suspected to exist even by those who spend their lives just above them. In fact, these underground constructions have ab sorbed most of Manhattan's subsur face space. In the future it will be necessary either to plunge deeper and deeper into tlie earth or to rearrange the present system. Writing iu the New l'prk Times, Mr. Silas Bent says: We take it for granted that water, sewage, even, gas, shall go by under ground channels. Though our water comes from the Catskills, under a pressure of a hundred pounds to the square inch, that must be so. But the use of electricity for lighting, for power, for telephones, began but half a century ago, and at first the wires were overhead. Within the span of a generation there were but 10,000 telephones in New York City; there were two wires for each instrument, and all were risible. Today the city has 1,100,000 telephones, ami twice that number of wires are beneath our feet. It was not until 1807 that all the w’ires in the city were put under ground. Yet even then no one could foresee how crowded the subsurface of New York was (o become. It is no longer a matter of''dropping an electric cable into a trench a few feet deep. Cables are carried now, iu places, through tunnels eight feet square, hewn from' solid rock fifty feet below; and there are manholes large enough to accom modate a parlor, bedroom, bath and kitchenette. The underground invest ment merely for electric conduits on Manhattan Island is in the neighbor hood of sixty millions. Wire is being added to the tele phone system in Manhattan at the rate of 20,000 miles a month. Some times it is necessary to dip oeneath a transit subway system; sometimes mere congestion makes the deeper tunnel necessary. When it was obli gatory, for instance, to cross Fifth Avenue in Thirtieth Street, the weight I of traffic above and t!x» tangle of pipes, wires, shafts, epnduits and l ' water mains already existent under! the surface made it necessary to delve ! deep that there might be no interfer- I euce. In some sections of Manhat- I tan there are telephone manholes three ! "stoiieA ’ deep. It is not uncommon i to find cables centering twenty-four feet below the street level, where thousands upon thousands of wires are “fanned out” to instruments near by. A most extraordinary aggregation of underground wires exists in the district west of Seventh Avenue in Thirty-Sixth Street, where the tele phone company expects ultimately to house eight central offices in its new buildings. Below the West Side In terborough Subway a I’-sbaped pas sageway 150 feet long, eight feet wide and eight feet high has been cut aod blasted) through the rock at a depth of fifty feet, and in this now lie more than A third of a million sepa rate telephone wires. They are clustered in cables a lit tle less than three inches in diameter, each leaden . slieuts containing 1,200 pairs of wires; and these in turn are* housed'in iron ducts, 144'0f them, em bedded in concrete and covered over with concrete. They are there to stay, cables were pulled through these iron ducts after the concrete had hardened, to Sixth Avenue on the east and Eighth avenue'on the west, forming a ■ trunk line conduit system; but the channels stretching from each side of Seventh Avenue were shallower than 1 the tunnel there.

The tower health exer cises are broadcast through sta , tions WEAF, N£w York; WCAP, Washington, and YVEEI, Boston. High up in the Metropolitan tow er overlooking the city of New York, Bagley stands in front of his microphone with the windows wide open and performs the exercises as he calls out the directions to the largest health class ever organized. Beside him Fred Harnett at the pir ano keeps the musical rhythm, which guides leader and health stu dents alike.

With 16,000.000 miles of telephone wire alone under two city blocks, you may fancy what the network is over the whole island of Manhattan. The telephone wires run along the side of the street, as a rule, and tlie lighting wires, which are nearly as great in length, run along the other side, in a separate conduit. Thb telephone wires are low-tension, the lighting wires high tension, and they are ap proached, repaired, extended, by means of manholes. The telephone and lighting wires are jiot alone. There are telegraph wires, too. under many streets, and the tel egraph companies use in addition pneumatic tubes, through which they shoot messages from central offices to nearby stations. Uncle Sam used tubes of this sort for moving part of his mail, and the news agencies for transmitting part of their daily grist to the newspaper offices. All the pneumatic subways are operated by a single concern. There are many*good-sized tunnels under Manhattan besides the well known transit subways. Hotels have tunnels to nearby railway terminals, and a single department store has built three of them between adjacent properties. Many factories and brew eries maintain their own tunnels to the Hudson or the East River in or der to get water without buying it from the city. Then there are private connecting different buildings of com mon ownership, and tunnels for the underground pipes of central heating systems. But we have not yet taken any ac count of the gas mains, tije sewers nor the water supply. Nearly every apartment house and dwelling in Man hattan has its gas supply for fuel or for illumination, or both, and there are considerably more than half a million families l ; ving on Manhattan alone, although it is not the chief res idential borough. The sewerage sys tem of the island is but 545 miles long, and the channels are not large in comparison with some other cities, because the shoestring shape of the city cakes it easy to reach water. The larger sewers are but 8 by 12 feet, although there is one under Ca nal street which is 8 by 15. Manhattan gets its water from the Catskills . a distance of a hundred | miles. Tlie great Ashokan Reservoir, | with a capacity of 130,000.000.000 I git lions, contains water enough to eov- I ed all Manhattan Island thirty feet deep. I Starting nearly 600 feet above sea level, the water rushes to the city [through enormous circular tunnels in’ I solid rock, reduced in diameter grad : ually from fifteen to eleven feet, so as to maintain the pressure. The main tunnels are from 200 to 750 feet below the street surface in Man hattan, so as to avoid interference with the intertwined systems nearer ground; from the tunnels the water is delivered through vertical, riveted steel standpipes, to the street mains,, and the pressure is reduced thus from 1(H) pounds to the square inch to fifty j pounds, then to thirty, then to twenty in the smaller pipes. Even the slight- j est. pressure is enougn to force it to! the sixth floors of apartment houses. I Taller buildings are supplied from j tanks on the roof, into which water is! pumped. The entire supply is puri-1 tied by aeration, or sterilized witli chlorine, before it is delivered to our taps. r Creator pressure Underground would be dangerous; but greater pressure is required to fight fires in tall build ings. And so a high-pressure fire ser vice system in downtown Manhattan helps to complicate still further the underground arrangements there. Each of the two stations has six electrically driven centrifugal pumps, and delivers either salt or fresh w r ater at the rate of 3,000 gallons a minute, combined, they are equal to fifty fire engines.] flesh by diet ond exercise. It works \ both ways,” The danger of overweight is re- | fleeted in the fact that insurance j companies must reject the majority of overweight persons when they i apply for insurance because of their tendency as a class toward high j mortality. That the overweight i public is becoming aware of its condition is proved by the fact that the Metropolitan warning adver- , tisement entitled “Beware of Fat" ! brought more than fifty thousand ' requests for tne pamphlet “Over- ' weight.” This pamphlet tells how j to reduce the number of calories in your daily diet.

Something About the Lonely Island to Which Napoleon Was Banished. , As the Prince of Wales was mak ing his way from Africa to South. , America lie stopped at the lonely isle of St. Helena and paid liis re ’ spects to Napoleon .by planting an olive tree in front of Longwood. the house where the great soldier lived from 1810 to the day of his death in 1 1821. Longwood is about three miles from Jamestown, the harbor aud only town on the island. This now famous house was presented by Quien Vic toria to the French nation, it was re stored to its original condition and is now a Mecca for tourists. It is said that P. T. Barnum, circus man. ' tried to buy the house to use in his business- The “tomb” where the emperor's body lay for 21 years be ; fore being taken to Pans is mark ed with a white slab and inclosed by an iron railing. It is beautifully situated at the head of a long green valley. St. Helena has more intrinsic value - than the island usnaly gets credit for. It was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502—just a few years after the discovery of America. Before the dig ging of the Suez canal it was quite important because the ships on the way around Africa to the Indies stop ped there. Some 40 a year stop there now—all but a few being British. This 10-mife-long .island is beautiful. It is really the top of an under sea volcano, long ago burnt out, and it is cut by wonderful gorges from 500 to 1,000 feet in heights and sloping swiftly down to the sea. St. Helena harbors about 4000 people. There are eight churches and schools. The flax industry is the only one of importance, but there are 1000 acres under flax, and there are three mills. LaeC-making is’ also getting a start. There were no peo ple on the island when discovered- Present inhabitants are a mixture of European. Asiatic' and African stocks. The Negroes on the island are the descendants of slaves rescued from traders and left there by war ships. Oh, So Sudden! i An Irish sheriff had to serve a writ on a clever young widow, and, on j coming, to her residence, said very politely: "Madame, I have an attachment for you.” ‘"You have?” said she, blushing. ! “Then I may tell you that your feetions are reciprocated.” ' It was the sheriff's turn to blush, and he explained. "You don’t understand me. mUdnme. You must proceed to court.” i “Well I know it's the year after leap >Var,” she replied, "but I’d j rather j*ou did the courting your | self-" j "Madame, he said sternly, “this iis no time for fooling.
