Tonight the lawyers on each side pre-
dictcd victory. The general impression
is that hung jury will result or if an
agreement be reached long time Will
be required. In cause of mistrial the
Judge has authority to order another
venire and proceed at once with third
hearing.
In case of a mistrial and postponement
the Perquimans county authorities would
like for the prisoner to be returned to
Elizabeth City.
''If they hang me they will hang an in
nocent man." said Wilcox to a friend in
his cell. II loved Nell better than
either her father or mother" Again he
declared that his theory was that Nell
disappeared at the hands of the thief who
was after the pigs. and whose deprc-
dations caused the barking of the dogs
that aroused the family and resulted in
the discovery of Nells absence.
This morning District Attorney Ward
closed for the prosecution in a powerful
argument in which the whole evidence
was gone over Probably thinking of the
rumors of hung jury the speaker said
If any juror had made up his mind not
TO try the case on the evidence he was
not worthy of the citizenship or protec-
ton of North Carolina. He proceeded:
"Gcntlemen of the jury be men. No
maudlin, sickening sentiment should de-
ter you from duty. What but confidence
in jurys protects the flresedise, daugh-
ters, wives and liberties of YOUR citizens.
If you say by your verdict that the
guilty may escape you may as well burn
down temples of justice and allow mob
law to reign
"a home has been desolated, a spirit
has flown to the camping grounds OF
eternit, but if Nell Cropsey could as
sumo mortality and walk down this aisle
she would point to Jim Wilcox and ex-
claim: You are ny assassin. Let it be
said you have done your duty, that yours
is a righteous verdict"

The Friends Of all the Candidates are Standing

Nobody can tell how it will be, but the
outlook now is than asVote in the Sena-
torial caucus tonight will be practically
unchanged.
The past three days have not witnessed
any new development. Most of the
"colorels" of the campaign have been
at home taking a rest. Many of the
Legislators have been at home for Sun
day. The candidates rested on the Sab
bath and went to church. Yesterday
there was little activity There were
plenty OF rumors of changes and plenty
of predictions Of what was going to hap
pen. But those who are in the best situa-
tiCn to know say that tonight will reveal
no changes or surprises.
HON. LOCKE CRAIG; My friends
think that the Western edn OF the State
ought to have the Senator and say that
they will accomplish this result"
HON. LEE S. OVERMAN: Il regard
the present situation as better than it

HON. CYRUS B. WATSON: From

against the Durham Traction Company;
one against he American Tobacco Com
