WILCOX GUILTY
OF Murder in the Second Degree and
Gets Thirty Years at
HARD LABOR IN PENITENTIARY.
The Judge Considered the Verdict
Charitable to the Defendant.
Gave Him the Full Limit
OF the Law.

After being out for twenty hours.
the jury i'm the Wilcox murder case at
llertfort, n. c., at o'clock Thurs
DAY evening, returned verdict of
murder in the second degree and the
defendant was sentenced to the peni.
tentiary for thirty years, the full linn
it of the law. Wilcox's ATTORNEYS gave
notice that an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court. The prisoner will
be returned to Jail at Elizabeth CITY.
where his alleged crime was commit
TED, TO await orders of the court.
The jury sent word to the sheriff at
ii O'Clock Thursday night that it de-
sired that the charge be repeated to
them. This was done Friday morning
at 9:30 o'clock.
In sentencing the prisoner, Judge
w: b. Council said in part:
The jury have seen fit to return a
verdict OF murder in the second de-
gree. They have found that the de-
fendant took the life Of Miss Cropsey
through malice, but without premedi-
tation and deliberation. BY what pro-
cess OF reasoning they arrived at this
conclusion it is not for me to say. L
regard their action, however, in the
ilght that they have been as charita-
Ole 10 the defendant as possible in the
llght or the evidence as they viewed

question of generalization and DELHI

Inc prisoner was called upon at the
JAIL after the verdict. He was very
pleasant to the reporter, but did not
care TO talk of his case.
The crime OF which James f. VIII
cox was found guilty is alleged to
have been committed at Elizabeth
CITY, \. C., on Dec. 20, 1901. He had
called at the home OF Ella Cropsey
and when leaving at III O'Clock at
night called the girl out into the hall.
This was the last seen of her alive.
Her body was found in the river 200
yards from her home thirty seven days

A BROTHERS. Tribate.

The following card was published
at the head of the editorial column in
The State the day after the death OF
Mr.. n. G. Gonzales:
The knightly soul OF the brave man,
loyal friend and devoted brother whose
name has graced these columns since
the birth OF The State - years ago
has crossed the river and the paths
his willing feet have trod shall know
him no more. But along their ways,
from the seed he Sowed, flowers are
blooming and the air he loved to
breathe, the air OF his native State,
is sweet With the incense of his noble
words and deeds.
To die for his State, even by the
loathly hand that struck him down,
was sweet to him. During the four
days OF mortal agony that followed his
cruel wounding no words save those
of love and sympathy for his bereaved
kindred passed his lips. He died with
his face TO God, a gentleman unafraid.
With heavy hearts his work is taken
up by those who loved hini well, and
in his name The State is pledged anew
To the principles for which he gave
his life
