suited in the killing of Roadmaster Ste
vers and the train porter, Jim Mitchell,
were brought to Raleigh tonight and

This will be kept near the patient so
that in case of death, which is believed
to be inevitable, it can be reread to

ment.
When identified by Mitchell as the
man by whom he was shot, Joe Cole,
Jr., protested his innocence. and declared
that he had nothing In the world against
Mitchell, and never would harm him.
Mitchell replied that he recognized him
the instant he. laid eyes on him. and
that Cole ought to have had those feel

ing; that it was all too late now.

shooting Captain Clements, and that he
was shot before Roadmaster Stevers
