B. Ccle, wealthy cotton manufacturer, who shot down tF. W. Ormond, for mcr sweetheart of ilia daughter, was declared not guilty by a Union coun ty jury in the Richmond county superior court this morning at 9.50 o’clock. The jury had tuo case ap proximately 21 hour*. Judge T. 11. Finley immediately ordered Cole remanded to jail pend ing a hearing at AVilkrttboro on Tuesday at one o’clock when Cole must show cause why he should not be committed to the criminal division of the State Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh. Membera of the jury intimated that Cole was not acquitted either on rhe self defense or insanity plea but because they would have done the same thing if a man had slandered their daughter. “In my opinion from a legal stand point, Cole was guilty," Judge Fin ley stated after the jury had returned its verdict. Mr, Cole refused to make any comment on his acquittal. He is not qcpected to have anything to' say ugltil aßer the hearing on hiß sanity. Rev. A. L. Ormond, father of the slain ex-serviceman stated that he would not make any comment on the verdict. He thanked his lawyers and friends here- This afternoon he and Allison Qrmond, his son, and blisses and Ophelia Ormand, his daughters, returned to their home in i Nashville. "What isn’t right now wm be right sometime,” Mr. Ormond said * before leaving for his home. Fear Violence. To prevent any possible violences to the defendant. the verdict was returned. Judge Finley ordered Sheriff H. D. Baldwin not to ring the courthouse bell to announce that the verdict had ben returned. Only 31 persons, including the prisoner, his family, lawyers, newspapermen and court officials were present wneo C. E. Rushing announced the verdict of the jury. Among the Rocgingnam people present there was not a single woman. Cole waa the calmest man in the | courtroom in the slow minutes that passed before the jury came in to announce its verdict. He sat without change of color or expression with his hands folded over his stomach. Beside him bis son, Robert, sat in an agony of nervousness. The boy con tinually ran his hands through his hair and across his face which was flushed and full of fear. Cole Thanks Jurors. Qde shook hands with the jurors ajjjKey filed out of the box. Sheriff, you’ll take the prisoner into custody,” Judge Finley atated. “Mr- Solicitor prepare am order to show cause why he should not be confined in the State Hospi tal for the Insane.” Upon the suggestion of A. 1.. Brooks, attorney for Cole, the time of the hearing was fixed for Tues day at 1 o'clock at Wilkesboro. Miss Elizabeth Cole, central fig ure in the case, Mrs. Cole, and Miss i Katherine Cole, who have attended Jail the sessions of the trial were not (present when the verdict was brought in. They learned of the ver ' diet by calling the sheriff's office. No member of the Ormond family was present. How Jury Voted. At mo time during the delibera tions of the jury was a majority in , favor of conviction for any erttne. lOn the first ballot taken after the 'case went to the jury at 12:42 on i Saturday the vote stood eight to four for an arquital. Three times during the afternoon and-night the jury prayed. When the jurors to bed at 10 o'clock Saturday night the vote had changed 11 to 1 for acquittal. The jurors stated that one vote changed after each prayer. This morning after 1 breakfast tbe jurors again prayed for guidance and the unanimous vote for acquital was secured. ! Locked in the jury room the ,j twelve men agreed that the name of the man who held out against an ncquittal would bo kept secret by them. They stated that this was done at the request of the one man. Orie feature of the deliberations of the was that C. O. Howard who was accepted by the defense in spite of the fact that he stated he had formed and expressed the opinion thait Cole was guilty, voted for an acquittal from the outset. Howard Clyde Edwards urged the men holding out against an acquit-1 tal to change bis vote before the jury went to bed. Ho said that he could | not do it. then, but that he would i pray over it. Following a final prayer, ‘ this morning he cast his vote to ac quit Cole. While defense attorneys yesterday j were inclined to look upon the in sanity hearing at Wilkesboro as per functory, Judge Finley stated that the burden would be on Cole to show that he is sane. "They will have to convince me that he is sane,” Judge Finley de clared. State to Be Represented. Although defense attorneys re gard the insanity hearing ns per ; | functory, the State will be well rep resented at the hearing Tuesday. In [ addition to Solicitor Phillips, Clyde ’ Hoey, of Shelby, Douglas and Doug lass, of Raleigh and W. R. Jones of I Rockingham, will be present to re sist Cole's effort to prove himself | sane- Cole’s full battery of defense lawyers will also be on band. No one here believes Cole was ac -1 quitted either on the plea of self de fense or the plea of insanity. It is ae -1 ceptcd that be was found not guilty on the new phase of the “unwritten; law” that a man can kill to hush a slander. 1 Cole entered a plea of self defense : but his attorneys did not put a single I witness on the stand to corroborate 1 his story of the killing. Cole entered a plea of transitory ’ insanity. They contend Cole was in > I sane, at the time of the shooting but > is sane now. The defense did not put 1 on a single alient to testify that Cole - was insane at tbe time of the shoot -1 tng. Only bis relatives and friends ! and business associates testified that they believed he was insane when he ' shot Ormond. 1 Rockingham received the verdict * with widely differing feeling. Tbe - wealthier and socially prominent 1 class received it with repoicing. - Throughout the trial this class has > espoused tbe side of (be mill oper ■ ator. Many of the "better peopfe” * are related to him by blood or mar > riage or close - business association. They have been quick to defend him. Very different feeling was ex i pressed today by tbs majority ot the people outside this class.’ The ma s jority of the people who are not con -1 nected with Cole in this caste of > family and wealth have * believed I that he ought to be convicted for '.hilling young Ormond ofi August 18. Their opinion it not changed by the verdict. Those who .believe that Cole com-* milted a eoWardlJ- crime that ought not. to be allowed to go unpunished, are moved n.ore tq cynicism at the courts than violence toward-; tbe de fendant. If Cole is released at the insanity hearing on Tuesday he will be re eeived hack home with acclaim by his friends but others will have only unfriendly greeting for him. It was reported here today that if he is re leased he will not immediately come hack to Rockingham but will go off on a long rast before he comes back. While he is gome feeling hre will fall back into its old calmness, it is ex pected. Bitterness Will Last For Years. The Cole trial is going to leave deep marks of bitterness in Rocking ham for years to come, however. While the "better people” have gen erally supported Cole there have been violent differences of opinion even here. Some of Cole's cousins were friebds of young Ormond. Frank steel. Cole's cousins, testified against him. A split has developed that will be years in the healing. Under Judge Finley's charge the trial did not settle the most unfor tunate issue raised in the case—the .virtue of Miss Elizabeth Cole. The fight over Ormond’s war record was not settled. Can a Rich Man Be Convicted? Whether the proposition that a rich man can be convicted in the courts of Nofth aCrolina or not was settled depends on how you look at it. Judge Finley stated as a fact in his charge that rich and poor are alike before the law. The trial will certainly !go down as one of the most notabte' in the history of North Carolina.

It is expected that the .Western North Carolina Conference this year will follow the recently set precedent and admit into full connection tbb “class of the second year" before call ing for the vote on unification. Ac cordihg to Methodist usage, a minis terial candidate must remain “on trial" for two years before he can be come a full-fledged member and exer cise his privilege of voting. Members of the “class of tho second year” will, therefore, probably have the distinc tion of casting a vote on the question of—unification, which has become an issue of national interest, as their first official acts as ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Os outstanding importance at the conference session will be the report of the representative of the board of missions, who will explain the pur pose of the million dollar fund for missionary maintenance with the re quest that the western North Carolina conference assume its pro rata share of this missionary fund to supplement the support of Methodist missions in 1926.

New York, Oct. 10.—A clever man ufacturer has devised a means where by he claims a straw or felt hat sticks to the head, tight as a mus tard plaster, in a stiff gale. The device consists of a small moulded button fastened to the front of file inside band. When the hat is placed on the head, the button sticks to the forehead on the vaceum prin ciple. An electric clock which has a square dial and no hands is being tested in the big railway stations in i Pariß abd London. As each minute i passes a mancl is let down automati eal-.v,» and in the same Way the hours , are changed. The claim is made that I it is much easier to read the figures than the hands at a distance, and for that reason the timepiece is eminently suited to railway stations.

She has been showing evidences of disturbance for about i three weeks. Friday morning before day she attempted to lock her husband up in a room, saying that he was the devil and should be shut up.

Simpson Gives HERB JUICE Credil For His Recovery. “I have found that HERB JUICE will do ail that is claimed for it, and more too. There is one thing I do know, and that it is responsible for the good health I am enjoying today, and I want to let others know about it,” saiij Mr. W. M. L. Simpson, who resides at 38 Meadow St., Concord, N. C.. when be called to see the HERB JUICE man a few days ago. 1 “I had a chronic case of stomach trouble,” continued Mr. Simpson, “and was bothered all the time with con stipation, and was in a dreadfully rundown condition, had dizzy spells and headaches, and at times had a slight touch of rheumatism in my shoulders and back. On the advice of a friend, I started using your great medicine, and I must say it is simply wonderful the way it gave me relief in such a short time. Through its natural action on the bowels, HERB JUICE has relieved me of the consti pation trouble, and I also notice that I. hare no more of those dizzy spells or headaches; in fact, I feci better in every way than I have for years, and have gained in weight, and my energy and strength have also great ly increased. I can now eat anything I want without it hurting me one bit afterwards and I sleep soundly the night through, and I have no more of | those touches of rheumatism., I can not express in words the deep grati tude I feel for all that HERB JUICE has done for me, and I do not for «no moment hesitate to recommend it to all my friends as the best tonic-laxa tive that, was ever sold on the market.” HERB JUICE is sold and guaran teed to give satisfaction by Gibson Drug Co. tin purity—first in quality—first in leavening strength—first in economy —first in sales because it never fails, CAIVMET TOE WORLD'S GREATEST BAKING POWDER bmtittmt lALES »V« TIMES THOSE OF ANT OTHER HAND NO WAY TO PRAISE THIS KARNAK, SAYS MRS.
