SIX PACES. NO.1' Some At Gatesville May Have To Sleep In Autos Hotel Already Full und 10 Witnesses in Duwy Murder (W Still to be Aeeoiiunodated \\ liun Trial, Set for Wednesday, I'uder w av Catcsvllle, March 23. "I um I so try they sent it here." That Is what Charlie IMwauU. 1 proprietor of the Catesvill ? II.?t-I I told a reporter two weeks a:,u. J when the newspaper man casual- I ly remarked that he supposed tin I h^tel was looking for a hit- crowd 1 court week, with the scntniluntt! I Doxey murder ca?e scheduled for I trial In addition to the regular I Gat?? County criminal docket. The reporter ponder, d that say* I Ing at the time. reflecting eoh? ;ly J on the unmi-rcenary spit it of a I L hotel man who would ratlwr hi* I f town would be spared tli?' :u?rdlil I details of a murder trial than I himself to prollt hy the crowd that the case would he Mire to I draw to his hostelry. Hut today the same in wspaper I man entertains serious douht ts to whether the idea back In Mr. 1 Kdward's mind when he made his I statement waa altogether altruis tic. For the Gatesvllle Hotel In already crowded and indications now are that, despite the canvais of the town for bi'ds for court week visitors, the emergency ar rangements are not goliiK to tal.-' care of the situation. The Gatea vllle hotel Is ordinarily a nice homey, quiet stopplim place, with the proprietor and his family do I ing a large part of the work, and one may well imagine that th*' outlook for a crowd that would tax to the breaking point his fa cilities for entertainment would appear In the hotel proprietor's eye no inviting prospect. Doxey will be brought here through the country and, despite the fact that as roads are now travelled the distance from Cur rituck Court House to C.atesvlll?' is In the neighborhood of ?.r> miles,' a considerable crowd of Doxey's friends as well an all Ills witnesses and those for t In* State are expected to be in Attendance. Witnesses alone number 4 0, and it Is estimated that Ave times that Dumber from Currituck will n' tend the trial. By putting two to t ? rfvery available bed. the Gatesvllle " Hotel can furnish lodging for ?). X School committeeman of l'op , Ikr Branch High School, the old ' est and for long the only State high school In Currituck County. Willis A. Doxey had for 66 years lived a life of a quiet, peaceable and respected citizen, until n? wa flashed over Currituck County Sat urday night. January 30, that h" had shot, and probably fatnllv wounded, his nephew. William H. Doxey. William H. Doxey died In the Elizabeth City Hospital the next day, leaving a dying state ment In writing to the effect that he had been treacherously shot by )ils uncle and that the act was unprovoked. Since that time Willis A. Dr.x -y has been a prisoner In the Curri tuck County Jail. Hia caso was scheduled for trial for the term of Currituck Suprenn- Court which convenes the first Monday in March. The grand Jury had found a true bill, the prisoner hod been arraigned, and the sta??4 was set for the trial when on Thursday. March 6, Solicitor W. 1?. Small presented a motion to tin- court that the case be moved in some other county, on the ground thnt sentiment In Doxey's behalf had been so favorably fanned by the activities of Influential fri.-rn!* and by highly colored newspaper * reports, that It would he impos sible for the State's side of the ras. to get a fair hearing In Currituck County. Here is the text of the affida vit, copies of which were signed by n. S. Walker, former employe rof Willis A. Doxey; 0 \ h father of the dead man, and hy J. C.

The clear-cut testimony of these men. filled with something that made the humblest of them unafraid to stand before a great audience or cultured people and to testify ' convincingly and clearly of his re ligious experience, was nothing short of a marvel to those who had known some of them when they were deep in sin.
