WILKINS IS FREED
Justice Clark Finds no
Evidence Sufficient to
Uphold Charge.

Charles Wilkins, arrested in Colds
boro on the charge of having been
the slayer of William Speight who
died of a stab wound in the temple
and refused to give the name of the
party at whose hand he suffered, was
released on habeas corpus proceed
ings by Chief Justice Clark yesterday
morning, there being no evidence suf-
fcient to warrant his detention on the
charge returned by the coroner's jury.
Wilkins was brought to the city
yesterday morning by Sheriff e. A.
stevens, of Wayne, and was accom-
panied by his counsel. Hon. w. 7.
Dortch and several friends.
Several witnesses were examined
and Mr.. Wilkins also testified in his
own behalf, the evidence adduccd
tending to show a complete alibi, his
movements from eight o'clock on the
night of the killing until Sunday
morning at sunrise being very fully
accounted for. The aliDi established
was in the testimony of three shop
Keepers whose places of business are
over a half mile from the point at
which Speight was found, who stated
that Wilkins was about their places
Of business from eight until ten
o'clock and by that of a Miss Barefoot
who testified that the prisoner called
1t her fathers house at ten O'Clock
and remained there all night.
Sheriff Stevens testified to Wilkins
having voluntarily surrendered him
elf Immediately after the announce
ment of the verdict of the coroner's
jury.
In his testimony in his own behalf
Wilkins denied any knowledge of or
participation in the homicide, admit
ting that he had a difficulty with the
deceased some years ago.

wound in his temple. Although he
lived for several hours after he was
found and was entirely conscious,

 The indications are that the mes sage sent to the sheriffs office was a part of a fool joke. The deputy sher- fir remembered that when he asked his informant who was talking he said he did not know and hung up the receiver. It was thought that the man at the other end was unfamiliar with the use of the telephone and believed that the officer had asked him who the dead man was.
 Interest in the Identity of the corpse has been transferred to the ques- tion as to who is going to pay all the expense attending this mortuary expe- dition. Precedents are against pay ment out of the public funds. About year ago two Journeys for the in- spection of the skeleton of a sheep sev- eral miles north of Peoria were made. The first time the coroner was attend ed by full retinue consisting of dead wagon, a jury and citizens in carriages and on horse back. The county even refused to pay for the services of the dead wagon and the matter of allow ing the coroner his customary fee was regarded by the board of supervisors as too absurd for consideration.
