W. Ormond. , Cole pleaded not guilty at the trial and based his defense on two pleaß, self defense and transitory insanity. The jury did not specify which of its contentious guided its verdict, but Judge Finley exerelsep the court’s dis cretion in applying the statute that provides that a man acquitted in a capital case on an insanity plea must show cause why lie should not be committed to the State Hospital for the lasaue. . J Cole Not Questioned. The bearing was perfunctory. Cole testified in his trial thnt he had gain ed his mental balance, and members of prosecution counsel argued to the jury that Cole was a sane man. Neith 'er Cole nr any member of his family was questioned today. James H. Pou, Raleigh. A. L. Brocks, Greensboro, and James A. Lockhnrt, of Charlotte, all of defense counsel, presented to „the court some 40 affidavits from townspeople of Cole declaring that he' is a sane man. The state was represented by Solicitor F.

It could not justify the slaying of Or mond cn the score of slander, nor be cause the defendant had been threat ened; If Cole hod willingly made at Ormond and if Ormond had made a motion to get his pistol, and Cole be ■ lieved he was about to be killed, lie “ would even, ia, jytfnt have .-hem : guilty of maWdaughter. The tdatiGer • of the daughter was not to figure in i. the case, nor was Ormond’s war record f to' be taken into consideration.

' A very large number of people who followed the evidence in the case will , he in agreement that Cole was Suffer ing under accumulated provocation , sufficient to upset his mind; there are others who would contend that what Cold had done, they Would have done, themselves. Perhaps the same ap peal stirred the hearts of the jurors, for It would have been' Bard to get away frqtp application of Cole’s posi tion to their own, if placed in the same circumstances.

Raleigh News and Observer. One of the Bins of parents is to in duce obedience by instilling fear. How many children have received their first impression of policemen in the threat: ’“lf you don’t hush, I’ll call that big policeman!” It might be argued seriously that fear of any sort is too high a price to pay for obedience. But for this pur po'-e, it is sufficient to insist that to create in the formative mind of a ■hi d the belief that a policeman is a man to be feared by little boys and little girls is vicious.folly. The automobile has changed many of our customs. It has wrought ] revolution in roads, in , trade, in l churches and schools. There is hardly 1 a phase of life that has not taken on Q new complexion with the advent of the motor-driven vehicle. Now, in the larger center? at least, it is going to banish the policeman bogey. There isn’t a finer sight to be seem in Raleigh or any other town, for that matter, than a Stalwart traffic officer, standing watch at street; in tersections near schoolhouses, lead ing a group of little tots across die traffic lane to the street car or the opposite side of the street. That work hi symbolic. The policeman’s PAGE THREE job is a protective job- There is no'" 1 j higher phase of it than the prtt | tection of children ami the helpless. It’s a fine thing that children nre ■ learning as they leave school that a ■, uniformed policeman is or ought to I be a mn n to trust and to honor —and never to be feared by the innocent. * [ i Some women make their own way. f j Others marry and have their own ‘ way. . ‘ t !
