Interest Centers In Doxey Case At Currituck Court Case Not ho (Called Before Tinxhiy ? (tiihi! al (iourl house Monday Below Kxprctalioib Aceotint Bad Road* and Weather ? Hmi?e I'aekeiL HonWer < < Currituck. March 2.? ryrft,,,^ ' haa a population of 7.^6K. or' about 1,500 families, and prolnt Jly every one of them will have been represented before the we-k la over In the crowd in attendance on Currituck Superior Court Ow ing to Sunday rains, the crowd on i the opening day, estimated at 600. wag not aa large an was expected. ' For Currituck has a murder trial In prospect today ? some thing In itself out of the ordinary tor a county with a population ^entirely rural and seldom dl? \ turbed by bloodshed or by any \ violence of a serious nature. An ordinary murder trial, then, would be enough to Interest ;rll Currituck, a county without a ' newspaper and where the people I cling to the old habit of attending , court In large number on the occa- ' slon of the two criminal terms I that are held In the county every i year. But It is no ordinary murder ' case that is scheduled Tor trial this week with Willis A. Doxey :t? defendant charged with the d? liberate and premeditated murder Of his nephew, William H. -Doxey, Who died in the hospital at Eliza beth City on Sunday evening. IVI>- 1 ruary 1, as a result of a bullet j wound through his body. On the contrary, here is a case with | enough of the element of mystery I and human Interest involved to atlr the Jaded appetite of reader:; 1 of the metropolitan press ? n case I that might be played up by bis city newspapers if Currituck I Courthouse were not so remote from these centers of population. No 'trial in Currituck County in the last 15 years has attracted no much attention. A score of auto mobiles have driven from Pasquo tank to Currituck today (iv-r 1 dirt roads wet from .Sunday's rain and cut to pieces by winter trai lie. Were there seats in the court room in Currituck for all who ' would attend from Elizabeth City, instead of a score of cars the num ber would have been legion. ?The Doxey case will not be {called before Tuesday and perhaps not before Wednesday. No cases Wore tried this morning, the fore noon session bolng taken up with the charge to the grand Jury and going over the docket. Willis A. Doxey Is one of the mildest mannered and most qui' t spoken men imaginable. For years his life In lila community has been an open book and lie has been a man In whom his neigh bors have found no serious fatilf. School committeeman of Poplar Branch High School. hunter, marsh guard, and farmer, he ha < been generally held in high re gard In his every walk, well and, generally Bpeaklng. favorably known from one end of Currituck to the other. William H. Doxey. the dead man. was the son of G. A. Doxey. I who has recently moved from Poplar Branch to Elizabeth City. Willis A. Doxey and O. A. Doxey are brothers. Willinm H. Doxej was unmarried and for the ln*t nine months had worked 'on the farm of R. 8. Walker, one of Wil lis A. Doxey'B neighbors Prljtr to that he had worked at Norfolk from time to time, but lie would almost Invariably return to tin Poplar Branch section where his uncle and father lived. From the time he was 12 yen rf old Until he was 18, William I? Doxey lived for the most part with bis uncle, Willis Doxey taking the boy into his home when William wss s lad of 12 In order that hi Wife might not have to spend I he long nights, when her )iu*hi>n?! -Vae out hunting, alone As the boy grew Into manhood, however, the uncle and nephew quarreled sod the bitterness and Jealousy of the older man toward hi* n< pl< ?W reached such a pitch at last that the two ceaaed to speak and Willis Doxey warned hi* nephew J?*" to enter his home again Here develops the Inevitable eti r nal triangle. Mrs. Willis A. Doxey before her marriage was Mis* Daisv Hampton. When ahe and Willi.* A. Doxey were married she *-;< 16. He was 44 and a widower wl h a 15-year-old daughter. Prettv vivacious and attractive. tlie young wife was popular in th ? community and prominently Iden tified with Its social activities and with ita church and school iff. As her husband's young nephew la her home gr?w Into manhood Idle gossip had begun to link his name with hers but this gossip wafc not countenanced or believed among the really worth while p< o ??? of the community.

News reaching here Sunday that the Rivers and Harbors bill, carrying a provision for the pur chase * of the * Dismal Swamp Canal, had passed the Senate was heartening to those ia Elizaa ?betli City who have followed th? fate of the bill with keen Inter est and. for the last few days, not without some anxiety. A serious effort to delay and so to defeat the measure developed last week, but this effort met defeat Satur day night. The bill now goes to confer ence. as some changes have been made In it since it passed the House; but It is not believed that there will be further opposition and prospects for passage of the bill as passed by the Senate, with an appropriation of $500,000 for the purchase of the canal instead of the $375,000 named in the House measure, are now consid ered quite favorable. The Rivers and Harbors Bill carries appropriations totalling more than $41,000,000 as against the $40,000,000 which President Coolidge declared to be the maxi mum that it should carry, but it i is not believed that the President : would 'veto the whole bill because he happened not to approve of some minor Items of expenditure. BLOODY MURDER NEAR EDENTON Negro Desperado Brains Enemy in Difficulty lint Prompt Work l>y Sheriff Lands Grant Holly in Jail. Edenton, -March 2. ? (Special) Prompt and efficient work on the part of Sheriff G. W. Goodwin Saturday night put behind the hara of Chowan Conaty jail on a charge of murder Grant Holly, notorious Bertie nepro who on at , li ast two previous 'occasions has been in trouble In Chowan and who Is reputed to have a killing to his credit in Bertie. Grant Is In trouble this time as a result of the braining of Pete Bond, 20 year old Chowan Coun ty negro early Saturday night on the Coastal Highway between Edenton and Emperor. Arriving on the scene within ten minutes after the killing occurred. Sneriff Goodwin found Pete Bond lying dead in the road, his skull beet Id pulp and his brain scattered about to a distance of five feet, some lumps as big as an egg, and beside him Jim Holly. Grant's brother, with an ugly bruise on his head that has since, however, been found to bo not of a serious nature. Grant Holly Is also in iail. Pete Bond's death Is the result 1 of a difficulty, alleged to have begun over a woman, as a result of which Pete went home and re turned to the scene of the quar ! rel with a gun. He never got a | chance to use It, however. {Jrant Holly had a heavy piece of 'scantling handy and he used It promptly and with terrific ef ! feet. Jim Holly's part In the quarrel does not seem to he clear, hut he Im believed to have been struck with the same timber that brained Pete Bond. When the sheriff reached thi murdered man and Jim Holly. Grant had made his escape, but Sheriff Goodwin kept on hi* 1 trail until he had tracked him to a house on dale stroet at Eden- < 'ton. Having Information to the effect that Grant was making preparations to cross the sound to Bertie County and believing that the negro would go to any length to resist capture, the Sheriff t/ok no chances but with a posse of 50 men surrounded the hous?t and. closing in on It. captured his man without difficulty.

The Sunday night session was attended by still a larger crowd than the af ternoon session. I'P to the pres ent Hi! Sunday School superinten dents. tencher* and officers havo j attended tho sessions. The address on "The Halt that Catches and Molds Men and Wo men'* delivered by D. W. Sims at the night session wan very helpful. The whole address was built around the one word "work." The speaker insisted that while It is comparatively easy to send children to Sunday School, and while young people possibly may like to go to bo with others of their agn, the adult* go best when they are Riven a defl nite task. In mentioning the dlf- | Orent lines of work the speaker j *UKg??tcd that after irovldlng teachers and officers, experience lots shown If the other adults j were In organised Illblo classes ^ where all could have a definite j ta-'k they would not only enjoy | tho aervicoa, hut by their wow build up the school thye attend, and do considerably worth-while service In the community. ..MIsm Magee spoke on the sub-' feet. "A three-Fold Aim or the Ko llgious Education of ih?* Child." She streaned the importance of Sunday School workers having ? clear conception of the aim* of , religious education and then defi nitely planning and working to accomplish tho alms.
