VERDICT MEANT
MUCH TO CLUBS
Conviction of Lewark and Wick
ers Would Have Hurt Every
Shooting Club in Cur
' rituck County

j st. Clair Lewark and John Wicker
charged with the murder of Derwoot
Gallop on the marshes of Pine Island
Club on Nov. 25, 1920, were acquitted
of tho charge by jury in the Superior
Court of Currituck County on Saturday
evening, Mar. 13, after a trial of three
! days.
| No matter that Judge Oliver H Allen
told the jury that the case against Lew
ark was one of the plaihest for the state
he had ever seen; no matter that no
one else has been suspected of the mur-
der of Gallop; no matter that the ac-
quittal of Lewark and Wickers leaves
mystery yet unsolved; the jury
brought in a verdict of Not Guilty.
Derwood Gallop on his death bed de-
clared that the man who did the fatal
shooting was st. Clair Lewark. James
Shannon, a young man who was with
Gallop at the time of the shooting says
that Lewark fired the shots that killed.
But Lewark swore that he didn't and
DR.. J. G. Baum, superintendent of Pine
Island Club helped to make out an ali
bi for both Lewark and Wickers.
When the murder was first committed
it was felt necessary to bring the ac-
cused men to Elizabeth City for safe
keeping, so intense was the feeling
against them in Currituck. But senti-
ment reacted before the trial. Lewark
has powerful friends. The club owners
too were interested in the case-intense-
ly interested. IF the guards of Pine
Island Club had been convicted of kill
ing resident gunner, every Club in
Currituck county would have been given
black eye from which recovery would
have been difficult The acquittal of
Lewark and Wickers meant much to the
club owners. This newspaper will not
attempt a rehash of all the evidence in
the case, but the testimony of the prin-
cipal witnesses is here given.
Shannon's Story
James Shannon, star witness for the
state, told his story frankly and with an
air of conviction. He is about 81 years
old and said he had known Gallop since
babyhood, having lived near him in Cur
rituck coutny for about Is years. The
young man had called him Uncle Jim.
He had left home at one o'clock on the
day of the shooting, joined Gallop at
Betsey's Greek near PowelPs Point, and
set out in a rowboat to hunt geese. Each
carried a gun, Shannon had % shells
and Gallop eleven. He said they didn't
fire a shot that day.
The quest for geese led them to Pine
Island about five miles away, where the
club is located. There they went in
an indentation known as Ark Cove, but
did not go ashore. Derwood (Gallop)
was rowing the boat, while he was keep
ing a lookout He said he espied Le-
wark and Wicker polling a rowboat
around the marsh toward them. He
said the sun had just gone down behind
the trees to the westward of the sound,
but the light was sufficient to recognize
Lewark, whom he had known for 10 or
Is years. Lewark was pushing the boat
and Wicker was sitting in the bow.
When the other boat had come with
in 80 or 35 yards of his boat, he said
Lewark called to him and Shannon, say
ing: ''You damn s. o. BIS don't come
ashore" He said he made no response
