TIREMENs CHARITY.

sery---E Entertained by Chief Lumsden,

At meeting of the white fire depart
ment of the city held yesterday evening"
the following business was transacted:
The report of Mr. ]. G. Brown, treas
surer Of the tournament fund, was ex-
amined and approved. After making
appropriation of $100 to the colored hre-
mems tournament, and all other bills
paid, amounting to $1594.27, there was a
balance of $5.3S, which was unanimously
appropriated to Mrs. w. H Williamson

thanks, and the amount was equally d.
vided among the four white companies.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr.. j. G.

cellent work in raising $1,000 for this

After this the chief was joined in an
oyster supper at Turner's Cafe by the
dremen present.

Winslow and his deputies will make des-
perate effort to protect him.
1t is predicted that in case of an ac-
quittal Wilcox will go straight to his
hime in Elizabeth City, notwithstanding
the feeling against him there. Though
he has been heard to utter no threat, it
is belieed that WilcoX's nature will rot
permit him to forget some of those whom
he imagines have wronged him.
Guy Hall. the athlete. formerly of Nor
folk was here today and saw Wilcox.
Most of todays session was taken up
with the reading of the stenographer' S
record of all the evidence in the case.
The court house was comfortably filled,
but rot crowded. There are 1863 written
pages of the testimony. aggregating 49,
900 words.
JUDGE COUNCILS CHARGE.
Judge Council began his charge to the
jury about 4 o'clock. 1t is regarded as
able, comprehensive and iminently fair.
The jury gave him the strictest attention.
The court laid down general law princi-
pies and definitions common to all muir
der trials, told what the State was re-
| quired to prove to obtain verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree and
went on:
THE State, through its solicitor, in
sists that it has met this requirement of
the law, and insists that your verdict
should be guilty of murder in the first
| degree. In the trial OF this case the State
relies upon what is known as circum-
stantial evidence for conviction. Cir
&c
strumentality of the law in ascertain
ment OF truth and when properly under
stood and applied is highly satisfactory
In cases of the gravest moment Where
such evidence is relied upon to convict
1t should be clear, convincing and con-
elusive IN its connections and combina-
uons, acquitting all rational doubt as to
the prisoners guilt. No eye witness has
testified that James Wilcox killed Ella
Cropsey. The State relies on facts and
circumstances, which it claims have been
established by the evidence in the case,
beyond reasonable doubt, and which
established the guilt of the prisoner Of
murder in the first degree. When such
evidence is relied on for a conviction
every material and necessary circum-
stance must be established beyond a
reasonable doubt and the entire circum-
stances must be so strong as to exclude
every reasonable supposition but that of
guilt. Ii the State has done this in the
case at bar. then your verdict should be
guilty of murder in the first or second
degree, as you may find the facts to be
applying the law to views given you by
the court.
Now, gentlemen. in approaching a
consideration fthis case you must do so
upon the law as given you by the court
and the evidence as it comes from the
witnesses. You are not to consider the

Then followed the names of all the
other Democrats in the House.
Each man voted for some one in his
district, and North Carolina has never
before known so many names to be pre-
sented before the House for United
States Senator in all her history.

nominated by the Republicans, Repre-

ards nomination.
The Democrats dispensed with nomi-
mating speeches.
AS for the morning hour, several rather
important bills were introduced.
A bill to establish a Reformatory and
Industrial School was introduced by Mr.
Parker, of Wayne. He proposes that it
be known as "The North Carolina In
dustrial School," and that the Board of
Directors shall consist of seven women,
besides the Governor, Commissioner of
Agriculture and Attorney General. The
first Board is to be nominated by the
Governor and confirmed by the Senate
by the Board of Directors themselves.

tread and downcast eyes, filed out OF the
court house at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon
and Immediately proceeded with thelr
deliberations. At late hour tonight
there was no verdict, and officers and
LAWYERS have no idea that an agreement
will be reached before tomorrow, pos
s;bIv not then, maybe not at all.
The local impression is the jury would
not report tonight, should they agree,
for all of them are farmers, living at
distance. and the rain is pouring down.
The prisoner in court today, though
no emotion was evident. looked slightly
worn and tired as a result of the strain,
though not more so than the attorneys
and others, whose nerves and frames
had been sorely taxed since the first of
last week. The Misses Cropsey and the
Misses Wilcox are regular attendants at
court Jim today was sitting just be-
tween his father and sisters. their chairs
almost touched.
1t is not belieed that Perquimans
county people would make any organized
effort towards violence against the
prisoner, even though he should be ac-
quilted. There is unquestionably con-
siderable feeling against him, but the law
will probably take it's course and Jim
will not be unmolested.
