As far as could be (earned the facts in the case are aa follows: ;':!; - Burrill Casey and Mrs. Whitty, - wife of the deceased,' had been very intimate for a number of months 'prior to the death, of her husband. Several times - the defendant had visited the Whitty home during the absence of Mr. Whit ty, and thtre "was considerable talk . among the neighbors to the effect that Mrs.' Whitty .thought more of Casey than she did. of Jier bmband. Things went on in this manner for some time ' One afternoon shortly after he had . eaten his mid-day meal, Mr. Whitty was taken very suddenly with a pecu liar attack of stomach trouble. . Withm a few hours be died; Three weeks later his widow became the bride of Burrill Casey.' "There was some talk then that the deceased bad been poisoned to get him out of tbe way, but no action was taken until yesterday; '. - :. v; 7 A warrant was also sworn out for Ca sey's wife, Mrs.- Leona Casey,-charging . her with being an accomplice and Chief of Police Rouse,' of Dover, was tele- . phoned to hy Sheriff Biddle and reques ted to go to her home and place ber un- : der arrest and bring her to this city. He left Dover immediately for her horn, and will arrive ,1a the' city this morning with his prisoner. i : "-5 t . In an interview with the prisoner yes terday afternoon be stated to a Journal reporter thait be did. not know- a thing about the affair, that bis arrest-had come as a total surprise to him, that he had come ta this city as a witness in a case in court bete, and had no idea that he would be arrested.' That in his opin- ion the affair, bad been 'planned by some of bis enemies just for the purpose of getting bim into trouble, and that he ' was sure that as soon as a heading could be had he would be released from cos- tody j!..'V" f Casey was not Informed that his wife too, would be arrested, and shortly af ter his arrest he asked for stationery that he mifcbt write her a letter. ' This was given him and ha spent more than an hour transcribing the missive. This letter was turned, over to the Solicitor : and', its content will ..doubtless have some' bearing, on the case. Altho' the reporter made anj effort; to find out what the contents of . tbe letter was he was unable to do so, so the Solicitor .not having it in bis power to make it public '. j.: s , Mr. John Whitty. brother of the de ceased, is chief witness for the State and he says they have a strung case against both Casey and his wife. If such is the esse and it is proven that the deceased'eame to his death at their hands it will mean nothing less than a long term in the State's prison for both . the man and the woman. . PILES!

When the reporter was shown into her cell, on the first floor Mrs. Casey, who is a very homely woman, was silting on the side of the iron bed which the cell contained, " i" ' . ' " ' She said that she was: born in ; Lenoir county on Jan. 28, 1891, that she' lived there until 1908 when she married Mr. Joseph Whitty, then they moved to Craven county, That in all their mar ried life they had lived happily and had never had any misunderstandings. That after her marriage to Mr. Whitty she met Caiey, and that all during the time that she lived with Mr. Whitty, Casey was in the habit of coming to their home at different times, "and that there was nO objection from her husband. She said that several-weeks prior to his death Mr. Whitty had been in ailing health and that his demise did not come unexpectedly. That on the day that Mr. Whitty died Casey visited her home and that about three weeks after his death she and Casey were married. That after Mr. Whitty 'a death there was considerable talk among- the neigh bors that she had poisoned him, but as she knew this was untrue she raid hut little attention to it. That she did not xnow until yesterday morning that his body bad been exhumed and that the itomaA had been examined by a phy aician. That she was utterly dumfound- ed when Chief of Police Rouse, of Do ver, called at her home Monday after noon and placed her under arrest aid b-ought her to this city. That sho did not know at the time that her husband was in jail here on the same charge, and that since her incarceration here had not beeu allowed to see him or io communicate with him in any way The she was not in the least afraid that if the case na? ever brought to trial that they would be convicted, be cause there could possibly be no- evi: dence that either of them had caused his death. Taken as a whole she did Cot seem to be duly concerned in regards ta the grave charge which they are facing. At no lime during her story did she falter. and once or twice she became amused and laughed outright. The only thing that she seemed to be troubled about was the fact that she was cot allowed tQ see or talk to her husband. The grand jury has not yet taken , up this case, but will doubtless do so sometime during today, and the outcome of their investigation will be made known to' morrow. , Board your horse at a Mod ern Sanitary Stable, .Daniels- Newberry Live Stock Co.

Yesterday morning., a crew from the revenue cutter, Pamlico, and alto one or two t her boats from this port went down to Wilkinson's point, the scene el Sunday's tragedy in which Messrs. J. J. Willey of this city snd J. H. Morris of Greensboro lost their lives while at tempting to swim across the channel and at once began a search for Mr. Willey's body. Shortly before 11 o'clock the grap pling hook struck some object lying on the bottom of tha river about 50 feet from the place that Mr. Willey was last sren and his body ascended to the surface. The body was badly decom posed having been in the water for such a long time snd those on lioard of the boat, unaccustomed as they were to ghastly sights turned away their faces, The body was brought to this city and carried at once to H. W. Simpson's un dertaking parlors where it was embalm ed and prepared for shipment to his home in Norfolk this morning. The crew of the revenue cutter. Pamlico, deserve much praise for their wore in finding the bodie i of these un fortunate men. Unceasingly they toiled from early Monday morning until the last body was found yesterday and but for their efforts it is not probable the either of them have been located for several days.

Co-incident with the drowning in the Neuse river Sunday, of Mr. Herbert Morris a young man from Greensboro, was the drowning Sunday before io the Siroto riyer at Chillicoihe, Ohio., of Mr. George Donovant, also- a former Greensboro boy.

War on the xpress companies has begun in earnest before the House Committee on poatof flee and nostroads which opened hear ings on the parcels post, for which sev eral measures are pending, Representative Lewis, (Dem ,) of Maryland, appeared to support his bill which provides for condemning and purchasing alii the express companies. He asserted that "the cost of living now largely influenced by the unsatis factory methods of quick transportation between points of food origin snd con aumers, "There are two main reasons why the express companies must be added to the postal system," said Lewis. "First, the express company service does not resch beyond the railways to the farmers, which the post office does, through the rural free delivery. ' Second, the eon' tracts of the express companies with the railways give them an average transportation rate of three-quarters of a cent a pound; and with this rste the express charges by post would be re duced from two-thirds to one-half on parcels ranging from Ave pounds to fit ty pounds and about 28 per cent. heavier weights, as a consequence the to ordination of the express eomps ny plants with the post office and rural delivery, and the elimination of the ex - press company profits, which are aver aging over 50 per cent, on tha invest ment. " : ' ' THIS MEAN BUSY DAY IN SUPERIOR GOURT Abduction Case Took Up Entire Session Yesterday. Court lioom Crowded. The entire session of Craven County Superior Court which is in session lure this week for the trial of criminal cases ith Judge Garland S. Ferguson pre- iding, was taken up with the case of the State vs Addison Toler of No. 2 Township who was charged with at- uction. The facts in the ease are familiar to the majority of our readers but for tbe benefit of others we will give a brief summary of the caires leading up to the prosecution.

Late in the afternoon the testimony was all in and the att jrnfys in the case began their argument. It was after 6 clock when this was concluded and fter the Judge had charged the jury they retired.

" Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Leona ; Casey, of Lare's Chapel whose hus band, Burrill Casey was arrested in this city several hours previous on a warrant chsrging him with poisoning ' Mr. Joseph Whitty of tbat place, waa " placed under arrest by Chief of Police Rouse, of Dover, and on Monday night -was brought to this city and placed in -Craven county jail. Both she and her husband are now confined in this insti tution but on different floors, awaiting - the action of the grand jury who are investigating their case. This case promises to be one of the most sensational that has been brought before the public in some time. Yes terday the reporter made several in quiries in regard to the matter, and he ' was informed' tbat the arrest of these two people was the culmination of a se ries of investigation that had been go ing on for the past year. After Mr. Joseph Whitty's death, which occurred so suddenly a little mote - than a year ago, several of bis relatives began a quiet investigation. A physi cian from the city went to the place where the body was buried and after exhuming it he had the stomach taken out, and this was thorough I v ex amined by him. He was convinced that ' there were indications of poisoning there but in order to be certain he sent the stomach to the State Chemist. He gave it a careful examination and also found indications of poison. When thia state of affairs was recorded to the rel atives of the deceased they were more fully convinced that there had been f pur play. Hs was stated in yesterday morning's Journal, it was a known fact that Ca sey had been very intimste with Mr. Whitty's wife while her husband was living, and after the two were joined in the bonds of wedlock within three short weeks after the death of her husband. this 5f course caused suspicion to fall on tnem. y.. Some of the leading legal talaut of K the city has baen secured by the rele- tives of the dead man to ai 1 the prose- . cution, and if the grand jury returns a true bill every effort will be made to convict him.
