Discredit Burial Story In Well (Charlotte News Correspondence) Albemarle, July 20.—Formation 1 was thrust further today into the section of the State as defense coun sel marshaled one witness after another to lay the foundation for their idea to acquit Nevin C. Cran- ■ ford, former chaingang boss, of the charges of cruelty and brutally whip ping two negro prisoners to death. Sixteen, character witnesses were sent to the chair to raise their voice in praise of character of Cranford and his prison guards. Defense lawyers are apparently laying the ground work for the ap pe'arace of Cranford, who is expected to begin his refutation of the hor rible charges laid at his feet. Ihe defendant still maintains his calm and is taking little part in the pro ceedings. The presentation of Clyde Rags dale, youth of near Palmervil’n, was The day’s first effort of the defense to discredit the story of John Quin cy Leake’s burial. He said the grave is an old well, and was present when investigators visited the alleged grave and told of finding all sorts of refuse dumped there. Crowd Swelters Court opened at 9:30 o’clock and tliere was every indication that the day would be one of scorching pro portions. But the almost unbearable beat seems not to have been a deter rent factor in attendance of specta tors, who whetted by the prospect of hearing Cranford tell his own story on the stand today, have roared into the tiny courtroom in an apparently never ending stream. The array of legal talent on two sides has “bust out” today in “keep kcol” duds. Just before court opened Judge Finley gave the newspaper cor respondents permission to remove their coats and the reporters with alacrity shed their outer coats. Clyde Ragsdale was the first wit ness. He said he has lived at Palmer villc for ten years. He gave a shovel to deputy sheriff Honeycutt and Carl Vester Leake when last Tuesday they visited the alleged grave of Quincy Leake, negro prisoner said to have died on Cranford’s gang. He said the investigators found a jawbone, which appeared like a bog’s. There were no .teeth in the bone ,which the witness said the visitors broke from the bone and put in their pocket. Find Rubbish The teeth were exhibited and pass ed among the jurors. The witness who called the alleged grave, a well, told of finding all sorts of refuse in cluding an old cushion, bottles, tin cans, and old shoes. He was cross examined by/ Don Phillips, solicitor. (Continued From Page One) CODY ON BUNCOMBE GANG. CLAIMS HE WAS BEATEN had difficulty bringing C«dy to the | county jail, Captain Revis said, as i the youth was still defiant and had 1 threatened to kill both R^vis and Lu ! ther. When he was brought to tlUe ! county jail, he at first refused to let : Dr. Morgan attend to his wound, ac I cording to Dr. Morgan, but finally I submitted to treatment.. Cody ,on the other hand, charged that Captain Revis and Luther “had | it in for me,” and that Captain Revis j said: I “I’ve been wanting to whip you for a long while,” the youthful convict said that he tried to “reason with Captain Revis,” but that it did no good. Captain Revis said: “I sort of liked the boy when he was first brought down there, and £ tried to help him. But he was al | ways defiant, and one time he tried ; to 'get a gun away from one of t.ne | guards while they were on the road | together.” i Building In North Carolina Charlott Observer.

More Important An old philosopher by the name of Montaigne wrote essays hack in the 1 lfith century, which make as timely j reading now as they did then. He j is said to have been the first writer of moral essays. He was a philoso pher in the truest sense of the word and his philosophy was of the kind that inspires to better living and more optimistic thinking. In one of his essays on life and death he re- j marks on how much better it is in- ; stead of saying ‘'he is dead” to say "he hath lived.” Throughout the es say the thought is that we should not worry ^bout death for. as Mon taigne remarks, nothing can Vie grievous that is hut once, it is our concern to focus our attention on liv ing day by day, to make every day count—they pass rapidly enough— for some good accomplished for more sunshine in the lives of those around us. It is far more important how we live than how and when we die.— Morganton News-Herald.
