Oakes to Be Tried Alamance County Judge Long Signs Order Transfer, ring Case of Greensboro Policeman Who Killed Tommy Robertson The Case Will Hardly Be Tried Before September. Judge B. F. Long, presiding ov-r the August term of criimnal court at Wentworth, Tuesday signed an order transferring the trial of R. D. Oakes, Greensboro policeman charged with, the murder of Tommie Robertson, from Rockingham county to AJa manc county. The next term of court at Graham, the county seat of Alamance county, will be held next Monday, but it is thought to be im probable that the case will be tried at this term of court on account of a large docket to be tried next week,' The next term after next week will convene September 12 and It la thought that the trial of Policeman Oakes will be held at this time. Judge Long, In handing down his f erred from the Western to the East ern circuit and from the 11th to the 10th Judicial district, declared that he realized the feeling which had been aroused In Rockingham county, but that he meant no reflection on the dtiienship of the county by transferring the case. He stated that he had as much respect for and confi dence in the citizenship of Rocking ham county as he did for that of his own county of Iredell. Judge Frank Daniels will rresld over the term of court at Graham at which Oakes will probably be tried. S. M. Gattis Is the solicitor of the. district. ' Judge Long stated yesterday that he would not transfer the ca.se to Guilford county on account of the fact that the defendant was a resi dent of Greensboro, and that while . Forsvth had been considered. ' the criminal aoicket in that county waa so crowded that he deemed it best not to place anything more on that county's docket " . It will be remembered that Tom mie Robertson was killed May fta while being pursued by Greensboro officers, Robertson ' ; being ' la ' t a Dodge automobile from which ; tha shot had been fired that killed Po liceman W. Thomas McCulston only about an hour before Robertson m'."t his death, Mr. Oakes, a member ot the local police force, was with Mc Cuiston at the time of the latteTs death and, in company with Clyda Cobb, pursued the car which was occupied by Robertson, Carl Talley and Lewis Edwards. Talley ani Ed wards left the car "at the Battle ground, Robertson trying to outrun the officers in his car and being shot to death near Reidsville. Policeman Oakes was held re sponsible for the death of Robertson by a coroner's jury, which 'sat at th inquest held at Reidsville, and a, Rockingham county grand Jury at the spring term of court returned a true bill of murder in the eeconl degree against him. the case belns continued until the August term. Edwards is now in the Guilford, county jail awaiting trial for murder in the first degree. Carl Talley bar never been captured. He was da dared an outlaw and a reward was offered for his capture. The trial ot Edwards is set for this week, but it Is thought improbable that the caatj will be reached at the present term of court, Which will last for thi week only. Greensboro News.
