THE cROPsEY CASE.
New Trial for James Wilcox, Charged
with Numbering Nellie Cropsey.

Elizabeth City, N. c., Nov. 1.-THE
today promises to be of extraordinary
interest as the case of James Wilcox,
once convicted of the murder of Nellie
Cropsey, comes up for trial again.
Wilcox Is the son of ex-Sheriff Thos.
p. Wilcox, of this town. He went to
the home of William H. Cropsey, a
wellto-do man of this place, on the
night of November 20 last, to call on
Miss Nellie Cropsey, to. whom he had
played the deserted lover since 1898.
When he arrived the family was in the
sitting room. Roy Crawford was there
calling on Miss Olive, sister of Miss
Nellie. Soon after 8 o'clock the mem
bers of the household, except the two
sisters and Miss Carrie Cropsey, a
New York cousin, retired. At 1880
o'clock Miss Carrie went to her room,
leaving lne two young men, Crawford
and Wilcox. with Olive and Nellie.
Wilcox and Nellie had been quarreling
for a month or more and were not on
speaking terms. The girls had refused
the day before to accept fruit bought
by Wilcox. He had been paying spe-
cial attention to Miss Carrie for
week or two.
Without having said anything to the
girl during the evening Wilcox put on
bis hat shortly after Miss Carrie had
retired and asked Miss Nellie If she
would not speak to him in the hall.
She said nothing but went. The door
was closed behind them. The girl
disappeared and was never seen alive
again by anyone except Wilcox. Her
body was found thirty-seven days later
in the Pasquotank river, not more
than 100 yards from the house.
Wilcox was arrested and tried for
her murder. Public feeling was very
intense and speedy trial resulted in
verdict of guilty and a death sentence.
There was some fear at the time of
mob violence. In granting a new trial,
the supreme court SAID that the evil
dence was entirely circumstantial;
that the jury did not seem to have
given the necessary cautious and vigil
ant attention to the evidence or TO the
presentation of the prisoners case by
counsel, and that the conduct of the
spectators in and about the court was
sufficient to prejudice the jury.

Two Well Known Labor Leaders at
War With Each Other.


War With Each Other.
New Orleans, Nov. 1.-THE old dis
pute between President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated Steel Workers, and Pres
ident Gompers. Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, broke out afresh in
the labor convention today and there
is every prospect that on this occasion
the fight will be to the finish. "
Charges were originally made by
President Shaffer after the termina-
tion of the great steel strike OF 1901.
They were to the effect that President
Gompers. Of the American Federation
Of Labor, and President John Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers, had been
guilty of non-unionlike conduct in re-
fusing support of their organizations
in the fight,
They. on the other hand, asserted
that the association, over which Pres
ident Shaffer presided. was trying to
violate agreements and his stand was
contemplate.
Delegate Sheridan, of the Amalga-
mated association. colleague Of Presi-
dent Shaffer in the convention. threw
a bomb by asking consent to introduce
a resolution calling for investigation
of the charges.
Both parties announced that they
courted investigation and 1t will be re-
ferred to special committee of five.
two selected by President Gompers.
two by President Shaffer and the four
to choose the fifth.
After adjournment President Shaffer
asserted with great emphasis:
"The entire thing Is a scheme to in
jure me and to discredit me so that l
cannot be reelected. had no part in
the presentation of the resolution of.
fered by Sheridan, and | believe he
and Gompers are in collusion regard
ing it."
When this statement was made to
Sheridan he denied there was any CO.
operation between himself and Presi-
dent Gompers. The latter said: Shat
fer may be entirely correct when he
said he did not desire the introduction
of the resolution, but it is utterly false
that am In league with Sheridan, or
anybody else in this matter"

of In the above article was the suspect,
