Final Argumentslri the Cole
Trial Will Be Made Today
Jonathan Daniels, in Raleigh News
i and Observer.
Rockingham. Get. !).—Close pf tlie
third 4».v of urgutiieiit in the Rich
nipt tl county superior court today
brought the trinj of W. B, Cole. for.
the murder of W. W. Ormond to its
final stages and by early tomorow
afternoon twelve weary jurors will]
be engaged in fletermiUg his fate. , j
A. L. Brdoks, of Gren-boro, in a I
great speeeh closed the case tor the 1
defense tonight. Tomorrow morning \
Solicitor Don Phillip* will make the |
closing argument in the case. Judge |
T. B. Finley will make his charge so
the jury, tomorrow morning and
Rockingham will have to wait for the
: determination of the jury,
j Pleas of insanity and self defense
have become in a sense side issues in
the. case while attorneys for the
state ami defense Ha\V fought out
Ihe finest tor. in their argument, as to
whether or not CMe was justified in
killing Ormond, former sweetheart
of fyis daughter, to hush an alleged
scandal against fier name.
I’repUe-y ju*e js rampant as the
argument in' t|»e case draws to a
close., Attorneys for neither the State
nor the defense appear as confident
as both once were. Prosecution attor
neys are expecting a verdict of guilty
of murder in the seeond degree while
attorney** for the defense still insist
that Cole will be aequifted.
In file -jury box the twelve Union,
county citizens have expressed only,
weariness at the long drawn out ar-’
giimeut of the lawyers.
During the sessions today, three
imimasioued appeals were made in
I the case. Larry Moore, of New Bern,
| and Haro’tl Cooley, of Nashville,
\ urged the jurors to return a verdict
’ of murder ip the first degree while J.
iA- Lockhart, of Charlotte, urged
i them to acquit the prisoner. Attor
ney.* for (’ole urged the jurors not to |
forget the proteetioti of the virtue of
North Carolina womanhood while thrf
state told the jurors that they must
say whether “we shall live in law
and order or i;i murder and blood
shed.”
Any Man Mould Have Dyne It.
”1 have the faith that you'll stay
there.” dec'a rod'Mr. Lockhart, "and
not convict him for a thin* taut I
would have done and you would have
Idono ami any decent, red blooded.
innu would have done. They are too
far behind the times to lead u Virion (
county jury to perpetrate a judicial
: murder or imprison an innocent
man.'’
| "Their whole effort has been not
,to appeal to your reason," deduced
Mr. Moore, “but to appro] to some
thin* they assume exists in you—to
dofy_ the hiw. Every defense attor
ney has attemi>tef the market for even a cent meant
a loss of millions of dollars.
"ICs. tco much power for the South I
to have to look to Washington for
an estimate of the number of bales
in prospect for the tieusmi’s crop, it
s no more possible to accurately fore
cast the cotton crop by .such means
as arc employed than to estimate the
hairs on a dog. or straws in a stack,”
he declared. Senator Heflin was in

Linguistic difficulties were !
noticeable also at the Inter

formal sessions. A speech'doesn’t
make much impression if only

In translation it loses punch. I
Besides, 40 translations take time.
As far as possible the proceed- j
ings were In English or French, j
Even that didn’t give fully satis- '
factory results. <
