ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV ' Hoey Opens Argument In Cole Trial With Speech CoveringEntireTestimony SAVSSUNDERHOT GROUNDS FOR KCT Points Out That Law of North Carolina Does Not Recognize Slander as Cause For Murder. ORMONirsTIFE FULLY PICTURED Tears Seen In Byes of Miss Cole as Speaker Tells of Ormond’s Hope That He Would Succeed. Richmond County Court Rouse. Rockingham, Oct. 7—(>P)—Argument of counsel ami the charge of the court today stood between the jury's consid eration of the murder charge against 'Vm. B. Cole who last August 15th shot and killed W..W. Ormond, his daughter's former sweetheart. Seventeen attorneys for the prose cution and defense are scheduled to j speak for their sides, and it was in- j d ion ted today that .fudge T. B. Kin ley's charge to the jury not be made before Friday. “This case must be tried on the evi dence, and not on the sympathies of the audineoe," .fudge Finley declared V when eourt opened. He cautioned the crowded court room that demonstra tions will not be tolerated. Clyde Hoey of Shelby, first address (4l the jury for the, state. “Without malice, without hatred or * without bitterness in my soul. I come to interpret for the state the evidence of this trial." The speaker addressed himself to 1 three propositions:' first, that Cole shot Ormond after premeditation and deliberation after mattr aforethought; second that Colo did not shoot in self , defense: third that Cole was not in sane when he shot and killed}" “We do not ask that Cole be found gn’lty because he is wealthy and erful. We do not ask that you Con vict Cole because the man he killed was poor. * “It would be a travesty on. justice and an everlasting shame on the state t .of North Carolina if Cole,should be ex cused because of his money, posses sions and power." Mr. Hoey then traced the early re lations of Cole and Ormond, of how Cole first liked Ormond and later ■ changed. He quoted from the first letter Ormond , wrote and the last communication Cole testified he had from Ormond. The letter said that Ormond was through with the Coles, that, the mat ter had dropped out of his life, and lie did not intend to pick it up nga : n. A crowded court room was atten tive and quiet. Tears were in many eyes as Hoey discussed Ormond's work at Raleigh and his letter to Bynum, saying: “ft is the best job I ever bad, and I'm going to make good in spite of ,-> the Coles." Cole sat undisturbed as the speaker pictured him ns a deliberate murder er. He was slightly nervous. Miss Elizabeth Cole, bis daughter,' sat be hind him. Tears were In her eyes. Clyde Hoey was taking apart ev ery detail of the trial, every scrap of evidence. ' He read to the jury the letter Or mond wrote to Cole telling of his re lations as “man and wife" with his daughter. “The defense will interprete this let ter as a slander. Every line written by Ormond, and all their references to .that dead man has been unfair. Wouldn't it be fa*r to interpret this letter justly? , “I don’t know whether what he said in that letter was true. “God knows. A woman knows. A dead man knows. If every line in that letter was a lie, Cole should have sent him to the road for two years.” He read the law on slander. "W. B. Cole lias done something the legisltfFure of North Carolina has never done. He has killed a man for what he said was slander. . “He has been his own judge, jury and executioner. He decided Or mond should be killed, be decided to kill him and he killed him.” James H. Pou, dean of the defense counsel, spoke after Mr. rfoey. “We admit that W. B. Cole killed Ormond," Mr. Pou declared, “but we contend that if Mr. Cole honestly be lieved he was in danger, and honestly i acted on that belief he is not respon sible and should be acquitted. “Tli/ taw of North Carolina on in sanity was quoted, but it was not read in full. The law says that a mau to be justified in killing another must have known the character of his net. That nqpch has been read to you. But the law says this ‘The man must not have known the character of his act, or if by reason of mental diseases the defendant did not know that what he d$ was wrong’.” Mr. Pou pai/i tribute to the Rev. V John J. Harper, writer of the taw r that gives a man charged with capi r tgl crime a right to appear In hta dek sense.

Mr. Pou read the law on insanity, which he charged Clyde Hoey with not completing, ntfl? Mr. Hoey inter rupted him, “I read every word, Mr. Pou, I do not intend to misrepresent.” “We contend first that Cole has had a reason to believe his life in danger, nnd second that after a pe riod of six months of worry and fear his mind was in such a stage that lie believed he should kill him. "The state says 'Hang Cole for his ! crime if you can, but if you can't hang I him for that hang him for his money,’' "I charge the prosecution to do clnse the truth or falsity of the slan der letter. They lutve beaten nagpnd the bush and have not 'said. “If that letter was true, it was a malicious slander; if it was false it was a damnable lie. We want the state to say." DR.

Spencer's reply to all of tty in j has been the same. The gist of %tis J reply is: j Tit is is a Cabarrus County Pair I and professionals are not wanted, tyhc j fair premiums will go to amateurs ami not to men who go from one fair to another, taking with them stock that does nothing but show itself. In discussing the matter Dr. Spen cer said: “We are anxious to have line live-1 stock on exhibit at the Cabarrus j County Fair but we do not want to | let a lot of professionals come in and ! show stock that is groomed from One I year to the next for fairs. Onr pen-1 pie cannot compete with them dnd | when a fair has a lot of professional stock on display, it tends to discour age the home man. We have just us fine stoek perhaps, as the professional, but it must be remembered that Itis stock is groomed just for fairs, while our people must get their stock ready for this particular fair. “We want to create competition among our own people. We want to encourage them in the breeding of purebred stock and for that reason we want them to get the premium moneys nnd the prizes at the fair. It would be no credit in the fair fur its to go out and pay professionals to bring their stock here. “And besides it would not be fair to crowd out our own people with stock sent in by professionals. tVe arc not going to pay anybody a Cfnt THE COTTON MARKET Opened Steady at Decline of 6 Points to an Advance of 5 Points.
