Jury Expected To
Get Case Yesterday
Faison Repeats Stor:
of His Sin; Testi
mony Is Virtually
Same As In Firs
Trial
RICHMOND, Va„ March 17.
The case of John Wesley Faison
charged with the murder of Mrs
Elsie Holt Snipes, will go to th<
jury some time Monday afternoon
When court adjourned this after
noon, all t;h<* pvidpnee was in wifi
the exception of a few rebutta
witnesses which the commonwealth
desires to put on Monday morning
Argument will begin immediately
after Judge Wells instructs thi
jury. It is expected to consume
about six hours time. The defense
rested this afternoon after it ha<
introduced half a dozen charaotec
witnesses. They were called jus1
after cross examination of Faisor
was concluded.
Except as to minor details, Sat
terfield failed to break down the
testimony Faison had given in di
rect examination when he re
hearsed the story of his entire illic
it relationship with Mrs. Snipe,
from the time they first met the
evening of July 7 last down to the
early morning of November 1(
when she was fatally shot in hei
Hanover Avenue apartment. Short
ly before she was shot, she hac
asked him if he was sincere in his
intention to drop her, and he saic
that he was, he told the jury.
Mrs. Faison had previously tes
tified that Mrs. Snipes had phonec
to her just before the fatal sho
was fired, declaring that she hac
just as well “remove herself fron
the picture” if Faison gave her uj
and returned to his family.
Dr. W. W. Weeks, of Grace Bap
tist church, Faison's pastor, testi
fied today when Faison consultec
him the latter part of Octobei
seeking advice as to whether he
should divorce his wife so as tc
be able to marry Mrs. Snipes, h<
was told to get the notion out o:
his head and go back to his wife
and children. Faison promised tc
follow this advice if Tie could breal
away from the woman. It wai
brought out today that Faison hac
written early in October to Attor
ney E. J. Wellons, of Smithfield
N. C., seeking information as t<
when and where Mrs. Snipes hac
been divorced by her hpsbamd, I. A
Snipes now living at Asheboro, N
C. Under cross examination thi;
afternoon Faison denied most em
phatieally that he shot Mrs. Snipe
in a jealous rage, as contended by
the commonwealth.
The only defense witness wh<
failed to show up to testify for hi
, side, was Mrs. Wallace Curren
wife a a Seaboard Air Line Rail
way conductor running between
Richmond and Norlina. Befor
marriage she was Pearl Warren, o
Princeton, N. C., a former schoo
mate of Mrs. Snipes. She testifio
at the first trial that Mrs. Snipe

I. S. Ogbum Dies.
At Home Near Here
Succumbs To Heart Attacks;
Funeral Conducted Yester
day Afternoon by Elder
Jesse T. Barnes ;
Death claimed one of Johnston ,
county’s substantial citizens Sun
day morning in the passing of Mr.
J. S. Ogburn, who lived about two i
miles from this city. Mr. Ogburn j
had been sick for about two!
months with a touch of Bright’s!
disease, but it was not thought1
that his condition was very se-,
rious. Early Sunday morning about j
five o’clock he was taken ill with j
a heart attack which was follow
ed by two others, the third caus-1
ing his death about ten o’clock. I
The deceased was a native of
Johnston county and lived nearly,
all his life in Smithfield township, i
He lacked only a few d$ys of being
seventy years of age, his exact age
being 69 years, 11 months and ten,
days. [
He is survived by his wife, three j
sor.r, Messrs. Milton, Ira and Lee,
Ogburn, and one daughter, Mrs.!
Ross Ogburn of near Angier. |'
The funeral was held at the,
home yesterday afternoon at three j'
o’clock, after which interment was 1
made in the family burying ground.
Elder Jesse Barnes, pastor of the
Smithfield Primitive Baptist !
church, conducted the service. The '
funeral was largely attended, and r
the floral offering was beautiful. i?
Mr. Ogburn was one of the best,
farmers in Johnston county, and;
operated a cotton gin in connection 4
with his farm. He was honest and /
sincere in all his dealings, and he',
will be missed in the neighborhood ‘
where he has spent a life of use-;,
fulness. I
DAIRY COW PROFITABLE
ON TARHEEL FARMS j1
FALEIGH, March 19.—With
sufficient records available to show *
that the dairy cows returned a cash j
income of nearly thirteen million >
dollars from sales of commercial I
:ream and milk during 1927, it is),
evident that dairying is one of I
the profitable farm enterprise^ in‘(
North Carolina at the present!
time. |
“The 19 creameries in the state r
produced 2,475,300 pounds of but
ter last year,” states W. L. Cleven-1
?er, dairy manufacturing specialist (
at State College. “This was an
increase of 23 per cent over 1926. ,
A.t an average price of 44 cents a
pound paid for the butterfat used, '
the creameries paid $816,860 to the .
10,400 farmers supplying this fat.
The four cheese factories in wes- {
tern North Carolina also paid $17,
700 to 110 farmers for milk used
in manufacturing 88,500 pounds of ,
American cheese. Production of .
this product was increased 13 per \
cent over the previous year.”
The 32 commercial ice cream
plants paid $150,000 for milk and ,
$428*350 for the butterfat used in •
the manufacture of 2,500,000 gal- ,
Ions of ice cream last year, states ,
Mr. Clevenger. The 12 pasturizing ,
plants paid $1,500,000 for the five <
million gallons of milk purchased ,
from 1,000 farms last year. There ,
are also about 1,000 local dairymen
who are distributing raw milk at
retail to the urban trade in the
amount of twenty million gallons in
1927. The value of nearly thirteen
million dollars aisirioutea to tne
owners of dairy cows in North'
Carolina last year. |
In Mr. Clevenger’s opinion, there
is a good market for all the sur
plus cream and milk that can be'
produced in the state. The ice
cream business is expanding; the!
creameries could ail use more sour
cream and there is a growing mar-1
ket for whole milk. These factors
indicate that dairying will con-1
tinue to be a profitable farm en-1
terprize for many years to come.
