Raleigh, n. c., June 17.-Private Sec
rotary Pearsall says regarding the ac-
count of the proceedings in cases
against persons at Wilson, charged
with killing Jones: The report in to-
days papers of remarks of John E.
Woodward in discussing the motion for
a continuance" says. court, (meaning
special term) was called at a time
when the governor must have known
legal engagements would De conflict
ing" The fact is the governor did not
know Mr.. Woodland had any appoint
mentS that would conflict with the time
designated for the special term. Prob
ably it is true that the governor keeps
up generally with Mr.. Woodard'S en-
gagements, but he has to apologize for
overlooking the conflict in this case.
In a further reading of the account Of
the proceedings at Wilson, / see it re-
ported hat Mr.. Woodland in further
discussing the matter, said: Il do not
know why the governor acted IN such
haste in calling court, unless it be in
response to a demand, such a demand
as no honest judge. learned in law and
anxious to see justice done, would
heed Mr.. Woodlands acquaintance
of over twenty-five years with the gov
ernor has served him but little pur-
pose, if he means by this intimation to
charge that h governor was weak
enough to give way to such demand as
is suggested by him in his remarks tc
the court. If Governor Aycock pos
sesses one quality above another, it is
that of courage, and there is no de-
mand from any one about any subject
that would have the slightest inf1u-
ence IN moving him to do that which
would be unjust or unfair to any man
however high or low he may be, OF
however weak he is"
