Lawyers of sense checked the onslaught against his military record. How much that helped a defense which needed no aid, nobody knows. The state Supreme court Ims affirmed judgments against slayers whom the criminal courts would not punish. Two Pasquotank slew and were justified, but they pa : d $10;000 for the killing. There is a .case in Wake county now in which a young collegian indicted for man slaughter was acquitted, but his fath er is defendant in a damage action not yet tried. This however, is dif ferent from the Pasquotank case. Kaleigli would not relish a fort night of litigation over this homicide, but many things that have not yet come out would come. The Rev. Mr. ; Ormond would, of course, testify as he barely missed doing at Rockingham. The famous letters written to Bill ()r --1 mond could? feyifta status of an old lose affair detertoiin ed insofar as the written word could settle it. The pyrotechnics would be lc-s numerofpr, blood and iron might he less glorified. But it would be one horse of u trial. ' ' Solid Basis For the Action.

But-dhc-y do not take the threat lightly for a\j that. The qualifying of Mr. Ormond gave the first impulse to the civil action rumor.
