This is i'm chainmaking and the local

wilcox To he Hanged.
Elizabeth City. y. l., March 2+.-
James wilcox has been found guilty
of the murder of Nellie Cropsey. The
jury, after having been out thirty
hours. brought in verdict of guilty
IN the first degree. The prisoner heard
the verdict without apparent emotion.
When the verdict had been received
Judge Jones said: 1t is sadder for
me than You. Mr.. Wilcox. The jury
found the facts, l gave the law.
You have had Il fair trial.
The Judgment of the court is that the
prisoner be removed to Jail and he
hanged dead by the neck on April %
Counsel for the defense viii appeal to
the supreme court.
Nellie CropSey disappeared the night
OF Nov. ~. 1901. and it was thirty
seven days later before her body WAS
found in the river few hundred feet
from hex home. There was Il confusion
on her head. which with the fact that
there was no water in her lungs was
proof to the doctors that she had been
murdered and her body thrown into
the river. Young Wilcox had been her
lover for years. but just previous TO
the tragedy Nellie treated him with
dislike and coldnesS and evidently in
tended to get rid of him. He was the
last person known to have been with
her and that last time was outside the
house the night she disappeared.
