Special Veniremen
Required For Court
(Continued from Pjure One)
The other three chosen before recess
Tuesday night were M. S. Smith, W.
E. Russell and J. C. Butt.
Inasmuch as it was determined that
the Chappell case would, in all proba
bility consume the balance of the
week's term of Court, Judge Bone
announced Tuesday night that all
civil cases on the docket, excepting
those not for jury trial, would be
continued until the next term of
Court.
After the special venire of Per
quimans jurymen had been exhausted,
there was a consultation between the
Judge, Solicitor Chester Morris and
defense attorneys, P. W. McMullan
and John F. White relative to a
change of venire for the case. Soli
citor Morris sought to have the case
moved to an adjoining county in an
effort for a speedier trial, but this
was blocked and it was then decided
to request a special venire of men.
Since the county from which these
men were to come could not be de
cided upon, the names of Pasquotank,
Chowan, Gates and Tyrrell were
placed in a hat and Miss Virginia
White was given the job of drawing
the county from which the venire
was to be drawn.
Little Junie Winslow, son of Sher
iff J. Emmet Winslow, had drawn the
names of all the special veniremen
from a hat during the afternoon ses
sion, but he had left the scene before
the drawing of the counties took
place.
Court re-convened on Wednesday
morning with some 70 men from
Gates County appearing as a special
venire. The twelve Perquimans jur
ors, who served in the Hurdle case,
were questioned and excused from
service. Then the task of picking the
other nine jurors from the Gates
group began. Most of the day and
all but two of the special venire
from Gates were consumed before a
jury was impanelled et about 3:30
ocleok.
The members chosen as jurymen for
the com were: J. N. Byrum, M. S.
Smith, W. E. Russell, J. C. Butt, of
Perquimans, and J. M. Eason, W. N.
Carter, J. H. Hohbs, Ray Hayes,
Lloyd Pierce, John Askew, T. E.
Pittman, Harry Lassiter and Hurley
Asbell of Gates.
Nearly one hundred and fifty men
were checked before the jury was
finally chosen. Without doubt, this
is something of a record in trying to
choose a jury for a case in Perquim
ans. Most of the veniremen were
challenged for cause and excused
from serving.
Testimony in the case was started
at about 4 o'clock, when Belva Had
dock, prosecuting witness against
Gaither Chappell, was called to the
stand in opening the State's case.
Solicitor Chester Morris questioned
her closely on direct examination re
garding the particulars and Court
adjourned when the State tendered
the witness for cross-examination.
On direct examination the girl gave
practically the same testimony she
gave in Recorder's Court.
Court wes recessed until 9:30
Thursday moming. The jury was
turned over to Deputy Sheriff Cecil
White, who was sworn as their
baliff. It is expected that testimony
in the case will not be completed
until sometime Friday.

Three prisoners placed in jail as the
result of action in Superior Court
here this week escaped jail on Wed
nesday. The prisoners are Leland
Ward, sentenced to serve three years
on the roads, and Wilson Ferebee
and Isaac Johnson, both Negroes, sen
tenced to the roads for 12 months.
The escape was discovered Wed
nesday at noon, when Court recessed
and Sheriff Winslow was placing
Gaither Chappell in his cell. It is
believed the prisoners, on escaping,
walked down Front Street througn
the Town Lot and on arriving at the
fishing wharves stole a boat owned
by Enoch Brickhouse, using that for
a means of escape.
The three prisoners were captured
Thursday morning. The two Negroes
were found in Hertford, and officers
found Ward at his father's home in
the Chappell Hill section.
