MUST SERVE SEN TENCE.
Tho Judgment Of tho Lower Court In tho
wilcox Case Was Affirmed Is.

WILCOX Case Was Affirmed a..
James Wilcox, the murderer O
Nellie Cropsey OF Elizabeth City
N. c., will have to serve his sen
tence of thirty years in the stat
prison 1T Raleigh, N. @.
He was tried twice. The frs
time he was convicted of murder
in the first degree and sentenced tc
be hanged. He was given new
trial by the Supreme Court be.
cause the spectators at the trial
made a demonstration when Will
cox's lawyer arose to speak.
In the second trial he was tried
in different county and convicted
of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to serve thirty years in
the penitentiary. From this iudg-
ment Wilcox appealed. This judg.
ment the Supreme Court affirmed
in an opinion embracing thirty
typewriter pages.
The defendants attorneys urged
that Wilcox should have been given
new trial because most of the
evidence was sufficient to have
been submitted to the jury, second,
that the suicide theory was as
reasonable as any other theory.
The court went into detail in
the consideration Of these points.
1t said after reviewing the argu-
ment of the defendants counsel
that the deceased had the oppor-
tunity, the motive and the time to
drown herself:
"This line Of thought has been
strongly pressed upoE us. by the
Defendants able an'io anu ~vs>ssas. ssssa7ss.
counsel. TO the adoption of this
view there are several serious diff.
ficultlas. There can be no doubt
that the deceased was greatly
grieved and distressed by the con-
duct Of the defendant; that her af-
fections were tritied with. Her
conduct showed her to be a young
woman of deep and strong feel
ing.
"The testimony shows that the
condition of the river at and near
to the front of the Cropsey resi-
denco, with its receding shores, is
such AS to make it necessary for
her, if drowned there, to go out
seventy-five feet from the shore
before reaching water four feet
deep. The testimony in respect
to the river all conflict with the
theory that she could have thrown
herself in the water.''
In conclusion the opinion says:
"We think that in this case,
by the standards pre-
scribed by law, the evidence was
properly submitted to the Jury,
and we cannot say they have reach
ed an incorrect conclusion."

How to Care For Hard Wood Floors.
Few housekeepers understand how
to care for hard wood floors. Simple
or elegant, there Is but one mode Of
treatment. Never put drop Of oil Of
my kind upon them. If soiled, rub
them off thoroughly with flannel
cloth wet with turpentine. When dry,
apply preparation Of wax. When
this Is finished and dry, polish them
with a cloth or brush made for the
purpose until clear and shining, as tho
quality Of the floor will admit. This
carefully done will keep q wooden floor
in perfect condition.
