ed on an incident of the recent food.

When he went to the mission the

told how the floor was dry, while the
marks outside the door showed that
the water was four inches above the
floor. While there are a number of

WILCOX VERDICT A SURPRISE.
Young Man Found Guilty of First De.
cree Murder.

Elizabeth City, ~ c.. March "a
The verdict that young Wilcox was
guilty of murder in the first degree
for the killing of Miss Cropsey seems
to have met with popular approval,
though it was not considered proba,
bic early Saturday that the jury would
so report. District Attorney Wa.d
said Saturday he never looked for anv
verdict other than murder in the sec
ond degree.
Lawyer .A!ydlett, 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 H..
tie prospect of the prisoner PAYING
the death penalty on the date set by
Judge Jones. AS the supreme court
does not meet till next September, it
Is more thar probable that it will be
several months before the case is dis
posed Of finally.
