% NOT EXPECT TO
-. HANG, SAYS WILCOX
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Judge Jones, who left today to hold
court at Hartford, said it was not neces-
sary for the appeal to be argued before
him. The matter could be taken direct
ly before the Supreme court The judge
feels that the court house demonstration
made at by spectators at the trial was
not proper.
Lawyer Cropsey, of New York, left for
home this afternoon with his daughter
Carrie. He said on the train no man
ever had a fairer trial than Wilcox, and
he did not believe a new trial would
ever be granted. He thought if Carrie
who was visiting Nell at the time, had
come upon them in the yard she, too
would have been murdered.
Mrs. Cropsey, Nell's mother, has near
ly recovered from the shouck, but Law
Cropsey said he could not persuade her
to attend the trial any day. He believed
she would have broken down and made
a scene Lawyer Cropsey said Nell's
mother believed all along that Jim muir
dered her girl, but she felt sympathy for
his mother and refrained from any thing
that would bring upon her humiliation.
Ollie Cropsey the best witness during
the trial, asked to say something this
afternoon, declared she expected a ver-
dict of guilty, but thought it would be
murder in the second degree. Lettie
and Louise. who were present, thought
the same thing.
Notwithstanding popular sentiment
against Wilcox at home there were very
few people who thought he would be SEN
fenced to hang.
Lawyer Aydlett talked with sadness
when approached. Without declaring
what course would be taken, he said
whatever was done would be decided
upon in a few days.
Almost every one at Elizabeth City
says the verdict was righteous. In case
of a new trial it would not be had until
November. and the case would likely be
removed to another county. There were
less than dozen names in the jury box
when the last venine was completed.

CONSUMPTION
A Disease That Is The
Terror Of Our Times.
VinoI Can Prevent

Consumption is not hereditary. The
best physicians today tell US so.
A prediSpoSitiOn to the trouble, how
ever, is to be feared. If any of you have
had ancestors who suffered from this
awful disease or died from it, then you
should take particular care
Your system is such that under favor
able circumstances the disease germ IS
likely to find a resting place, take root,
flourish, develop and end as all consump-
tive cases must end eventually in death.
The person susceptible to this disease IS
like ground, favorable for the cultivation
of certain seeds, the seed once placed on
such ground thriveS and f1ourisheS.
If you will only come in and let Us
talk with you, we can tell you better in
a few minutes personal conversation all
that Vinol can do to cure coughs and pro-
vent consumption than we can describe to
you in pages of type. But, briefly we
will state for the benefit of our many
friends that we know that VinOl invigor-
ates the stomach, enricheS the blood,
creates flesh and gives to the takcr
strength, and thus throws off disease.
This is done because it contains those
valuable medicinal ingredients in high
" concentrated state that made Cod Liver
Oil famous. The advantage of Vinol
over the old forms of Cod Liver Oil lies
in the fact that the medicinal elements
are contained in a much more powerful
state, and the disagreeable and obnoxious
grease that was such drawback to Cod
Liver Oil is entirely eliminated. TIE

after using VinOl in my family for
about six months, deem it my duty s.

she would go into consumption but

other ways. Since taking it she has not

CASE MAY CONTINUE FOR A YEAR.
CBy the Associated Press.)


Elizabeth City. N c., March 24--The
verdict that young Wilcox was guilty
of the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey
seems to have met popular apploval
though it was not considerable probable
searly yesterday that the jury would SO
report. District Attorney Ward said
Yesterday that he never looked for any
verdict other than murder in the second
degee. Lawyer Aydlett, for the Defense
will enter an appeal on behalf Of the
prisoner. He will seek to set aside the
verdict on the ground that it was not
consistent with the evidence brought out
in the trial. There is little prospect of
the prisoner paying the death penalty on
the day set by Judge Jones.
As the Supreme Court does not meet
until September, it is more than prona-
bic that it will be twelve months before
the case is disposed of finally.
All over the State the Wilcox case still
engages the attention of the people.
Some division of sentiment is noted.
Many people in Charlotte who believe
the prioner guilty think the State was
not entitled to a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree on the evil
dence submitted. Two prominent law
yers there say WilsoX should and would
be given a new trial with change of
venue.
In Wilmington, while many seem will
ing to concede WilcoX's guilt, it is
thought that the State failed to make out
it's case. Others assert that Wilcox was
not responsible directly for Miss Crop
Sey's death.
At Kings Mountain the opinion is eX-
pressed that the jury erred grievously.
