WILCOX IS VICIOUS
Alleged Murderer Attacks
Prison Keeper.
He Objects to Visitors. With Knife He Makes
an Attack on His Former Friend he
Kind Hearted Jaer.
elizabeth City Tar Heel.)

Jim Wilcox, the alleged murderer
of Ella Maude Cropsey, has made an
enemy of one of his once best friends.
| Since Wilcox's Imprisonment Mr.. B. A.
Newbern, the jailer, has spared no effort
| to make prison life comfortable for the
| doomed man. He has never refused to
| grant the slightest request of the pris-
| oner and many times day the kind
| hearted jailer has walked to and fro on
| errands for the hated of men.
Saturday afternoon Wilcox expressed
a wish for some matches. Mr.. Newbern,
or ..Bonney" as he is better known, went
over to his house and procuring a box of
matches returned to the Jail. Wilcox is
in an upper CELL "Bonney' drew him
self up by the bars and extended the
matches to the prisoner. Instead of ex-
pressing word of thanks Jim Wilcox
reached for knife and aimed vicious
blow at the upstretched hand, inflicting
an ugly wound upon one of the jailer's
fingers.
Mr.. Newbern dropped to the floor and
demanded an explanation.
The prisoner assumed a murderous at
titunde and threatened worse were the
opportunity presented He also express
ed a regret that he did not succeed in in
fiicting more serious wound.
Inside the prison walls an angry argu-
ment ensued between the keeper and his
charge. Mr.. Newberns reply was in
part: Jim Wilcox, l have treated you
as friend / have never once refused
to grant you anything within my power,
while the hand of every man in the coun-
ty has been turned against you Now
that you have acted as you have, I shall
treat you just as l do the other prisoners
and when you hang l want to be the man
to pull the rope WilcoX's reply was a
sheer.
This is not the first time since his i'm
prisonment that Wilcox has displayed
his murderous character. Once Robert
Mitchell, a prominent citizen of Camden,
visited the Jail, and being curious, sought
the cell of the alleged murderer.
Wilcox met him at the bars with beer
bottle and demanded What in the hi
do you want here" Mr. Mitchell ex-
pecting a collision with the beer bottle
beat hasty retreat In Camden he told
the story and the people of that county
/ were highly indignant.
Later: Since the attack upon the taller
visitor to the Jail. Mr.. John Sykes was
in Jail one day this week and Wilcox
made threats similar to those above and
then attempted attacking Mr.. Sykes with
the beer bottle.
