rostrum was equal to the best and her
conception of the piece was as near
perfect as possible. Her selection
was such an one as would enliven a
mixed audience and prese' ted as it
was it was easy to see chat she had
made favorable impression upon her
hearers, which was supplemented by
a hearty approval when the decision
of the judges gave her first place.
Mary Lockhart had difficult reci-
tation and there seemed to be lack
of conception. Her manner was good,
gestures fair, but the young lady did
not bring ont her voice sufficiently
strong and when it required that she
should lower the tone her words we're
very indist!nct.
Ora Peterson was another OF the
contestants who came very near win
ming place and the percentage OF
perfection as compiled by some in the
audience gave her fourth place.
Name Darnell, the last OF the con-
testants, appeared at ease on the ros-
trum. Her voice was not as strong as
it should have been, but her articula-
tion, pronunciation and gestures
were almost faultless. Many were OF
the opinion that she should have been
awarded third place among the win
ners.
The judges, DR.. j. w. Heston, Miss
McNamee and DR.. A. A. Harris, then
retired to compare notes and prepare
their decision. In the meantime Prof.
Hill entertained the audience with a
review of the work which had recently
been introduced In the school particu-
larly along the line of declamatory ef-
fort. He Is making An effort to have
this feature introduced all over the
state as IL has been la Wisconsin with
gratifying success. The REGISTER
right here, wishes TO endorse Prof.
Hills work along this line and believes
that IL the practice becomes general
much good will be realized.
DR.. Hestou came forward and after
complimenting the contestants In gen.
eral read the result as found by the
judges. The judges were given six
distinct points to base their decision
upon: Articulation, voice, gestures,
expression, pronunciation and con-
ception of selection. As q result OF
their deliberations Florence West won
first place; Inga RyersOn, second;
Mary Lockhart, third; Ellery Chill
cott, fourth.

WILCOX CONVICTED
MURDERER OF NELLIE CROPsEY is
TO HANG.
JURY WAS OUT 80 HOURS.
JUDGE IMPOSES SENTENCE FOR
APRIL 20.

Verdict of Murder in the First De-
gree Drought in at 1880 O'Clock
Last Nisht-WiIcox Manifested No
EmOtiOn-Judge Jones, in Passing
Sentence, Severely Condemned the
Indication of an Intention on the
Part of the Crowd to Take the
Law I'm It's Hands.
Elizabeth City, N. c., March "a
James Wilcox was tonight found
guilty of the murder of Nellie Cropsey.
The jury, after having been out thirty
hours, brought in a verdict at 1920
o'clock, of murder in the first degree.
The prisoner heard the verdict without
apparent emotion.
When the verdict had been received
Judge Jones said:
''It is sadder to me than you, Mr..
Wilcox. The jury found the facts, I
gave the law. You have had fair
trial. Part of the public were afraid
to give it to you. I am informed that
the movement in the Court House here
Friday, when a crowd marched out,
w VI dlISGu. nope SuCn was not
the case. If it was true, and the Of
Tenders brought before me- 1 would
send every man, woman and child to
Jail for contempt. If the move was
for a purpose it was disgrace to the
fair name of the county. 1 hope it did
not influence you, gentlemen, in the
least. The judgment of the court is
that the prisoner be removed to jail
and be hanged by the neck, on April
25."
Lawyer Aydlett, for the defense, will
appeal to the Supreme Court
At lis O'Clock this afternoon the jury
came into court and asked for further
instructions. The judge reiterated his
former charge, telling the jury the find
ing of the facts was with them. He
could give the law only. The jury
then retired for further consultation.
There were many expressions of i'm
patience at the hardness of the jury
Popular feeling was strong and it was
feared that a verdict of acquittal
would precipitate trouble.
