THE NELLIE CROPSEY CASE
Court Meets Grand Jury
To Begin investigation.
Especial to Baltimore Sun. ,

tSpeCldl 10 bdlllIlOTS SUM-
Elizabeth City. N. c., March 9.-One
of the most important legal battles in
recent years is to begin this week in the
superior court here. On Monday the
grand jury is to take Up the case of
James E. Wilcox. charged with murder
ing his sweetheart, Ella Maud Cropsey,
of Elizabeth City, who mysteriously
disappeared from her home the night of
November 20 last after a stormy in
terView with the man who is now
charged with having caused her death.
The trial will soon follow the grand
jury's action.
1t is. reported that George A. Ward,
prosecuting attorney of ~PasQuotank
county, has discovered a highly import
ant witness-a negro named Thompson.
Thompson, it is said. is prepared to
swear that on the night Of the girls
disappearance, as he was passing the
Cropsey house, he saw Wilcox cross
the road just in front of him, carrying
the apparently s-emi-conscious form of
a young woman toward the river. 1t is
declared to have been fear that pre-
vented Thompson from making an in
Quiry at the time and ~>redoubled fear
that stopped the negro from telling
what he had seen while the search was
in progress. Wilcox has a reputation
for fighting: and as at that time he was
not locked UP Thompson feared for his
safety.
(By Associated Press.)

WEATHER AND CROPS
WEATHER.

The weather remains practically un- changed from the arid conditions of previous weeks. Widely scattered showers have been reported, but the rainfall was so small in amount, eX- cept in the vicinity of Flagstaff, that no material benefit was derived. The temperature has generally been above the seasonal mean, in Salt River Val ley the daily excess averaging de- grees.
 CROPS.
 In the agricultural districts of Co., conino County garden truck has se- cured a good stand, and has recovered from the effects of the recent frost. but grain is more seriously damaged than was anticipated. The range in this locality was partially revived by the recent shower, and the water sup ply is still ample, in most places.
 In the Upper Gila Valley the har- vesting of grain is in active operation, and the produce, generally, is giving satisfaction. The irrigating canals, in this section as we'll as those in the Salt River Valley, are running very low, and are not affording sufficient water for very pressing needs
  unfavorable in Salt River Valley, and coming crops are making slow prog ress. The watermelon crop is not do- ing well, and unless rain come soon the yield will be small and of inferior quality.
