An error in printing was made in Tuesday’s paper when it was stated that Clarence Teeter, in recorder’s court, was colored. The Trjbune is glad to correct the mistake, it being purely unintentional, of course. Police officers stated this morning that no session of the recorder’s court would be held this afternoon. No cases have developed since the ses sion of the court Monday, it was stat ed. and no continued cases are dock eted for trial until Friday. In n match played early this morn ing at the V. M. (\ A. Ret*. K. S. Arrowood defeated Conrad Hill, elim inating the latter from the tourna ment. Scores in the game give some indication of how hard fought the sets were, being N-t>, 341. t»-2. The body of K. (\ Thompson, negro killed in a light with offices early Monday morning, is still ar the Pell & Harris Undertaking parlors. Hun dreds of jMM’sons, most of them col ored. called at the undertaking parlors Monday and today to see the body. October 31st bids fair to be a red letter day in the history of Concord, according to plans being formulated by 11. \V, Blanks, secretary of the Concord Y. M. (’. A., for u community holiday. Plans in full will be an ncuneed at an early date by Mr. Blanks. Football fans wjll be interested in the decision to stage the Davidson- Furraan game in Charlotte. The game will be played October 24th, the final decision to stage it in Charlotte was made after the owners of Wearn Field readied an agreement with the David son officials about rental for the field. The meeting which lias been con ducted so successfully at McKinnon Presbyterian Church by Dr. W. \V. Arrowood will come to a close on Thursday night. l)r. Arrowood was assist ed in the meetings by his broth er. Rev. R. fcC Arrowood, who is pas tor of the church here. The new power schedule of the Southern Power Company becomes ef fective in Concord today. Under the new ruling textile plants using the company’s power must stand from to night until noon Saturday, the new schedule cutting off all of Thursday instead of half of Thursday. l>r. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the Cabarrus Fair, still needs some •rooms to. house the visitors expected here for fair week. If you have rooms to rent during the week com municate with Dr. Spencer at once so ■he can list your rooms with others already listed. Baseball fans here are keenly inter ested in the world series which starts this afternoon in Pittsburgh. Ar rangements have been made to get a play-by-play report from the game by radio, the results to be posed at sev eral drug stores in the city. It is probable that Lee Meadows, who for merly pitched for Concord,. will start the game today. It is reported that about 4,000 bales of cotton have been sold on the local market no far this year. More than 275 bales a day are being han dled at the local cotton platform now, with a majority of the cotton coming from outside the county. * Union, Stanly, Montgomery and Anson coun ties are sending much cotton here now. The condition of Nevin Sappenfield, who is still in the Charlotte Sanator ium, continues to improve, it is said by persons visiting him. The flesh wound has healed but it is probable that he will be kept in the hospital several weeks longer, although it is possible that be will be allowed to attend the Davidson-Guilford game Saturday at Davidson. Concord people were keenly disap pointed, judging by remarks heard on the streets, that the letters of Miss > Elizabeth Cole to W. W. Ormond were not admitted in the evidence at the trial of W. B. Cole. People here wanted to know what was in the let ters. and in addition many thought the letters would have a keen bearing on the outcome of the trial. | It is certain now* that the road from Concord to the fair grounds will be in excellent shape when the fair opens next Tuesday. W. G. Brown, county highway engineer, has a force of hands at work on the road now, and later oil and salt will be applied to the road to keep the dust down. Re pairs to the road will be completed this week. £ i f K THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Cole’s Fate Now Rests On Unwritten Law Plea; Evidence Is Completed Jonathan Daniels, in Raleigh News and Observer Rockingham* Oct. <!.—Exclusion from evidence of the letters of Eliza beth Cole to \V. \V. Ormand, and medical testimony with regard to Miss Coles virtue brought me trial of her father. W. R. Cole, to an un expectedly early close in the Rich mond county superior court at the close of the sixth day of the trial. • Argument in the ease will begin , I tomorrow morning with Clyde Hoey. brilliant Shelby lawyer, opening for ’ the State, dames H. Pou. of Raleigh, leading attorney for the defease, will follow Mr. Hoey. Solicitor Don Phillips, will close the ease for the State and A. L. Brooks, will close ■ for the defendant. The case is not expected to go to the jury before Thursday or pos-ibiy Friday. Judge T. B. Finley announced to • day that he had abandoned hi* idea that he would require the jury to state whether or not in the event that they found Cole not guilty of the murder of Ormond, it was on the grounds of self defense or Insanity. Finder his dual plea in this case Cole does not face the danger of com mittment to the criminal division of the Staate Hospital for the Insane, if he is found not guilty. Judge Finley ruled out the medical testimony as to Mi.-* Cole’s virtue and the introduction of her letters on the same ground.'#. He held that Cole's mental condition was brought about by Ormond's letter “slander ing" hie daughter and that the truth or falsity of Ormond's statement had nothing to do with the case. Takes Heart Out of Mate. Judge Finley's ruling cut the heart, out of any fight by the State on the phase of "unwritten law" which >* woven through all the in tricacies of the case of the defense. The defense has not put on a single eye witnesses to -corroborate Cole * story of the killing which he contends was done in self-defense. Not a single alienist, htoj been put on the stand to substantiate the plea of insanity. Cole's acquittal rests only on the grounds of the "unwritten law" or a variation of i»*which would justify a killing to hush slander. Judge Finley today shut out all evidence of the] State against this predominating phase of the case. Counsel for the defense furnished Judge Finley with a 21 page docu ment embodying tbeir contentious in the case. Judge Finley asked the Staate to furnish him with similar matter. On the basis of the two documents Judge Finley will formu late ill* charge to the jury. Although the testimony of Dr. H. H. Dodson and Dr. J. T. J. Battle was excluded from the case, it"was given in open court after the jury had retired for the purpose of show ing what the defendant would have proved. The defendant entered- an exception to the ruing out of this testimony. Ur Judge Finley ruled out Elizabeth Cole's letters although attorneys!’ for the State maintained that they were competent for the purpose of im peaching MUs Cole's testimonyv in defense of her father, for the purpose of impeaching Cole's own testimony and also becau-e the defense intro duced-in evidence other letters in the correspondence of which Mis* Gnlb's letters were a part. * Evidence Concluded. The defense rested its case shortly, after 11 /o'clock this morning and the State, after presenting rebuttal testimony, closed at 4.40 this after noon. This morning, the defense tender ed to the State for eross-exatnina tion Miss Katherine Gole and Robert Cole, spa and daughter of the nch mill operator who is on trial for life life. The State excused both wit nesses without a single question. The defence put ou several other witness es to testify to Cole's mental condi tion and his character this morning. The State in rebuttal offered per oral other witnesses of the Itomidide. It also presented evidence as to dole's apparent mental condition, (ieorge Beverly, Duke University student who testified for the defense last week, was called back for furfner cross examination. Two witnesses were put on to show that ho had made conflicting statements, cutler Moore, of Lumberton, who served in the same outfit with Ormond during the war, testified to hi* disability and his service. Judge Finley's decision to exclude Miss Colo's letters came near the close of the State’s case on rebuttal. Larry Moore, of the private prose cution explained that the State wish ed to introduce the letters which were identified by her when site Was on the stand as a witness fur her father. Hp declared that the State wished to introduce all letters and that it wished to read some of them to the jury. He stated that the others would be given to the defense coun sel to go over and any of them would be read to the jury if the defease wished. He stnted that the letters were offeed for the purpose of im peaching Miss Cole’s testimony. "We have contended and we now contend” he said "that it is not our position to declare the truth or falsity of the letters from Ormond introduced by them, Your Honor this is an unfortunate situation. We ] are not going to let this young lady’s ' character by thrown in the breach | in an effort to save her father from a punishment that ought otherwise to result. I stated in this presence and declare that the character of that . dead boy lying in the cemetery of I Rockingham fe entitled to just as much consideration as anybody in , this court room. What Letters Would Show. He declared that “the lattera would ' show that when Bill Ormond came l to Rockingham he met Mias Cole at i other places than at the Cole home - at the girl's invitation.” I Harold Coodey, of the prosecution, declared that although Miss Golems- i tided she was never | ngaged to Ormond her own letters would show > that she was and that her fattier - knew of k. They Would show, he I said, that ('ole «ame between the 1 sweethearts and took his daughter ' away from Bill Ormond. Mr. Moore asked Judge Finley to read the letters to see whether or not iie thought they were competent. Be called a short recess and read a 1 few of the 25 letters but declined to • change his ruling. Attorneys Dissatisfied. Oreat dissatisfaction was expressed , in the court room not only by spec , tators who were anxious to hear the . contents of the mysterious letters but by attorneys for the State who could . not. undnerstand the ruling after Judge Finley a few minutes before had allowed the State to put on two witnesses for the purpose of impeacV , ing a minor witness in the case. During- the argument over the let ters, Miss Cole showed greater anxi ety than at any time during the case. She reddened and several times dur ing the argument her lips noiselessly formed the words “Not so.” Cole was calm as usual. * I>r. H. H. Dodson, Qreensboro physician, was called to the stand by the defense to tesify to an ex amination made by' him tb deter mine Miss Cole's virginity. Clyde llocy, of ttte private prosecution, ob jected to the testimony. ‘We say that Miss Cole’s virgin ity is not in issue,” declared Mr. Hoey. “We do not say that it is not controverted but that it is not a material issue." Mr. Hoey cited decisions to support his contention. “It is manifest that it is the in tention of the State,” declared 3T. A. Lockhart, of the defense counsel, in answering Mr. Hoey, “not to openly and boldly, but by insinuation and innuendo to attack the character of a North Carolina woman." Judge Finley told the prosecution if it would not controvert the virtue of Miss Cole he would exclude Dod- I son's testimony. I Hoey answered that the eonten- I tion of the State was that her vir tue was not a material issue. •He I said the only question was effect of the alleged slander on (Vile's > mind. He declared Cole believed it to be false and the effect would be the same even if it were proved to be true. Admitted Nothing. “We don’t have to admit any thing;" declared TV. C. Douglas of i the private prosecution. • “We f jave some letters and we expect to intro ditee them as an attack on Miss Cole's 1 character as a witness, not as ttx her virtue." Judge Finley told the State that if it woulcl eliminate the letters he would eliminate Dr. Dodson’s testi monjybut that if the letters are to be introduced he..would admit the doctors' testimony. Judge Finley then .'announced that ■ he would exclude the evidence of Dr Dodson for the present. At the afternoon session lie ruled it out al ‘ together. The defense took an exception The jury was sent out and Dr. Dod -1 son gave his testimony in open court to the stenographer. He said he had never seen Miss Cole until September 9th. when, in . the presenece of Dr. and Mrs. J. T. J. Hattie, of Greensboro, lie made a "very careful" examination at Dr. Battle's home. He was satisfied, he testified, that she was a virgin. Dr. J. T. J. Battle, chief medical examiner for the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, corrobo rated Dr.* Dodson's testimony. He ; said that A. L. Brooks, of the de fense counsel, asked him to make an examination and that he made “a very careful and painstaking exami nation” at his home on September 9th. Pure as a Babe. “I arrived at a definite opinion,” 1 he said, “without any mental reser vation and without any fear of suc cessful contradiction. It is my opin ion that Flizabeth Cole is an pure as a new-born babe. I agree with I Dr. Dodson in every particular.” COLE IN’ 'HIGH SPIRITS i ’ Expresses Opinion That the Jury Will Acquit Him. , „ E. B. Hunter, in Greensboro News. , Rockingham, Oct. 6.—William B. Coke went baik to his cell cell late ’ this afternoon in high spirit. After court adjougned the defendant re t mnined in the courtroom and receiv ( ed warm greetings from innumer . able friends. He said that he felt bet , ter now that the testimony is all in. I He expressed the opinion that the jury would sustain him. t Miss Elizabeth Cole, the girl who remained immovable beside her I father in his great fight for life, ap , peared calm, and said that 1 she felt ' considerably relieved now that the end is in sight. Cole’s army of defenders were un , mistakably happy since both sides . announced that they" were through . with the introduction of testimony. • Clyde Hoey, speaking for the state, . said : “The state has made out a „ strong case and upon the law and the ' evidence is entitled to • conviction.” The end came dramatically, no one being prepared to receive the news. It had been expected that the j state would put on its alienists. Dr. . Albert Anderson of the state insane . asylum, Raleigh, having spent the p**t week here. A L. Brooks, of Greensboro, who 1 hqs played one of the big parts in preparing the defense, said this after- ] noon “we are satisfied with the man-' 1 ner in which our aide has been pre e sented, and we are confident that the j t verdict will be favorable to us.” | t The defense, while not -getting the testimony ofTJoctors J. T. J. Battle i, and H. H. Dobson before tbe jury, i- were jubilant over the fact' that they 1 were 'able to present the report of the two Greensboro physician* to she; audience and the people of North Carolina. They take the position tlmt any suspicion as to tbe purity of the girl has now been forever removed, t There is speculator} on every f corner a< to what the jury’s verdict p will be. Some swear by aeqnittdl. i] while other think it will be either i second degree murder or manslaugh- 1 ter. No cue is looking for first degree. ( Then, again, there are people who i predict a mistrial. The defense lias t laid foundation for appeal in case the ] verdict is against them. The state i ennnot appeal. 1 If the jury cannot agree. Cole will j be returned to jail to begin all over i again. Nothing but a mistrial and 1 iir«t degree can keep the wealthy ( manufacturer in jail afterrthe jury i reports, say those fallowing “The case. J In the event second degree is return- j ed the defense will in all’probability i appeal and the prisoner may be re- j leased on bond. In the event of man- , slaughter, some think he will serve i his sentence, provided is iSn’t too, j stiff, while other believe nn appeal ( will be made. i It is expected that Judge Finley j will not charge the jury to specify on which one of the two pleas it ar-. rives at its verdicts. Os course, if he ' is liberated on self defense plea, that ends it. Ordinarily if the prisoner is i found not guilty on the ground that j be was insae at she time of the homicide, the court would order the ■ defendant to appear and show cause why he shouldnt be sent to the , criminal insane asylum. In the case I of Cole this will not occur, because { neither side contends that he is in sane now. It would be vain to try to - prove him insane now in view of the fact that the state is arguing that he was sane on August 15 and is \ (sane now. Judge Finley, after court today, said that ho hopes the jury will be able to reach a verdict. It is expected that the 12 men will be held to gether to tbe>jast ditch in order to get a verdict. Obviously disappointed that the court excluded the letters of Miss Cole to Bill Ormond, the state at torneys express themselves as con fident that the rich manufacturer will not escape punishment. It is ‘doubtful that the prosecution ex 'peotig first degree, second degree i seems to be the opinion. ■. TVlien the state rested without put ting Rev, A. L. Ormond, father of the dend boy, on tbe stand, many were * sorely disappointed. The father, who . has sat through the trial in reveren tial silence, was expected by many 1 to take the stand. A pompous individual from England was visiting an American one day and was a*ked to quiz the children on geography. He began : “What is the capital of ’dlland?” “H!" was the Crushing rejoinder from some one in the back row. Yachtsman: “If this squall con tinues I shall have to heave to.” .
