TRIAL OF JOHN WILBURN DE-
LAYED ACCOUNT OF WITNESS
ES NOT ARRIVING.

Nineteen witnesses for John Will
burn, % years old, of Blair, w. Va,
scheduled to go ON trial here on a
charge of numbering John c. Gore,
deputy of Logan county, last Aug
ust 81, will be brought here at the
States expense as soon as they can
be served in Boone, Logan, Kama
wha, Mingo and other counties.
Judge J. NJ. Woods Monday aft
ernoon ordered them to be brought
here at the States expense after
defense counsel had explained their
failure to answer in person the sum-
monses served on them within the
past few weeks. 1t was said the
witnesses were financially unable to
make the trip; that they had been
without work for months, and their
money was exhausted. The Court
promptly ruled that the defendant
was entitled to have his witnesses
here, even though the prosecution
has to pay the costs.
Included in the list are Ike Will
burn, a brother of the defendant
his wife, Lola Wilburn, and two sis
tiers, Nancy and Stella Wilburn
Hayward Edwards, Sam Copley,
Dewey Copley and jeff Workman,
all of whom, except the sisters, were
here for trial of the Rev. James E.
Wilburn, Johns father, in June.
Realizing that service on the pro-
cesses would require several days
the Court excused the jurors until
further notice. Thirty-nine venire-
men answered to their names, every
one who was called.
1t is doubted in official circles
whether a jury will be selected this
week. Assuming that the processe.
are issued Immediately, it wa:
questioned whether all the witnesse:
listed could be found or would come
if found, and then arose again the
question of how Wilburn could b.
compelled to go to trial without hi
witnesses. He was in court thi
afternoon, but was not arraigned.
Testimony against Wilburn, i
was indicated, will be PRACTICAL.
that used against his father, VIII,
was found guilty of second-degre,
murder in June. The State brough
80 witnesses into Charles Town to
day for the trial and expects 1!
more tomorrow morning.
The nature of the defense has no
been given, but the indications ar
that it will be an alibi.
Summonses have been issued, i
was stated officially, for the State
witnesses in the Walter Allen Treason
case, which will follow the Wilbur
trial. Approximately 200 witnesse
will be called, including most O.
those who appeared in the William
Blizzard treason hearing and other
taken ito custody recently who, it i
alleged, have turned States evi
dence.

tricts of the county. Herbert Miller
was nominated for President of the
Board in Middleway District, receiv-
ing 1876 votes to SO for L, F. Gran
than. The contest in Shepherdstown
District was also over the nomination

the former and 80 for the latter.

school commissioner, his vote being
176 to Sc for T. G.. Henkle.

ingcontest though the same indiffer-
ence prevailed up there as character
lied the election in Jefferson. Mrs.

twice as many votes as her opponent,
Mr.. Nicely. Charles N. Campbell,
formerly of Charles Town was nomi-
mated for the House of Delegates
on the Democratic ticket, while Rich

1921, as follows:
REAL ESTATE 1901
Evening star., 1922-01-26
Still in the Ring.

Speaking at a belated jackson day
hanqdet at Dayton last night, former
Gov. Cox. who carried the democratic
standard in 1920. said:
Our faith in the official pronounce
ments Of 1920 is unaffected by the re-
suit of the election Of that year. We
stand in our very tracks, just where
we were when the votes were counted.
We have not retreated step. The
flag still flies and we are ready for
. ahe next fight.
-. Under whose leadership? That of
Gov. Cox again?
There are two views of this matter.
One is that Gov. Cox is barred by the
overwhelming character of his defeat.
I How could any enthusiasm be ex-
pected or worked up for a candidate
who had lost his first battle in rout?
The other view makes that rout
plead for the governors denomination.
The argument is that the country
voted in 1920 under a misapprehension
in a panic which misadvised as to the
issues and their meaning. Why blame
Gov. Cox? He did his best to clear
the atmosphere. and events since have
justified his contentious. Why not
give him the benefit Of the change
now appearing in public sentiment? If
The Judgment Of 1920 is to be reversed
in 1924, why not under his leadership?
- This Dayton deliverance will not
cause surprise anywhere. In the cam.
paign Of two years ago Gov. Cox
showed himself to be man Of spirit
and bounce, not easily discouraged. 1t
looked like a losing fight when he
entered 1t, but in the face Of that fact
he took the stump and carried his
message from ocean to ocean. The
shelf rarely looks good to man of
his age.
