Especial to News and Observer
Norfolk, Va, July 6.-Claude M.
Bernard arrived here this morning on
board the Washington boat and spent
several hours in this city. There was
little about his manner or makeup
to suggest to the casual observer that
he was a fugitive from justice or a
missing principal in an affair that had
created the most widespread sensation
in recent days in his native State.
Where he came from or where he is
going cannot be ascertained. At Old
Point Comfort he boarded the boat
and beyond the admission that he
spent the day and night before at that
place, he said nothing that suggested
the possible locality of his soJourn
since disappearing from Wilmington
or his probable destination save the
fact that when he left here at noon
he said he was going to Eastern North
Carolina where he says he will confer
with counsel and then decide whether
or not he will return home and face
the charge against him and contest the
suit for damages now pending.
The charge against him of gross
immortality he was not disposed to dis
cuss. He said that for the time being
the matter, that in the minds of those
interested irrevocable conclusions had
been reached and therefore he deemed
it not expedient to discuss at this time
a matter of so vital Importance to
himself as we'll as others. To the di-
rect inquiry of your correspondent as
to whether or not he was at all guilty
of the charge of immortality, he re-
fused to speak as to his guilt or inno-
cence except to say that his connection
with the affair had been greatly ex-
aggerated. He stated that he was on
his way to Eastern North Carolina to
consult counsel in reference TO the
suit which had been brought against
him at Raleigh. In this connection
he stated that he would welcome the
removal of that case to Virginia, as
he could not possibly get justice done
him in North Carolina.
Speaking of Dockery Bernard ex-
pressed great sympathy for him and
referred to his aSsailant as a Cowardiy
cur. He further stated that if neces-
sary he would be willing to spend his
entire fortune in Dockery's defense.
Bernard looks not the best in the
world. While he does not bear any
marks to suggest that he has Jared
hard since his departure, there are
nevertheless conspicuous evidences of
anxiety in his countenance, and. while
he is beyond the process of civil courts
Of North Carolina so long as he re-
mains out of the State, he showed un-
mistakable signs of crucial suspense
and despite his self-evdent resort to
liquor, he was apparently far from
perfect peace physically or mentally.
