TRIAL BEGINS
IN SLAY|NC Of
RAIL STRIKER
Charles w. Parsons, in Court
at EastviIIe, Va.-Choice
of Jury C..fficuIt.

EASTVILLE, Va, Sept. 28.-
Selection of a jury to try Charles
w. Parsons for the murder OF
George Lewis, occupied all yes
terday's session of the North
ampton county circuit court. 1t
looked as if second venire
would have to be called before a
Jury could be impaneled. A
number of men were excused be-
cause they had expressed an
opinion about the case.
Widow First To Appear.
While nine men were selected as
prospective jurors there were indi'
cations that two of these would be
excused.
Mrs. George Lewis, widow Of the
slain man, wearing heavy veil,
was among the first persons 10
enter the court room.
Long before court opened an
immense crowd gathered outside
the building. Not half OF them
could get in the court room wheh
Judge N. b. Wescott ascended the
bench. Outside the building were
several hundred men and women,
most of whom had come from all
parts of the Eastern Shore.
John l.. Jack" Lee, chief counsel
for Parsons, who said his client would
plead self.defense, declared they ex-
pected to prove Parsons killed Lewis
thinking the latter intended to XIII
him.
Parsons, who is a millionaire, and
one of the richest men in Virginia,
was accused of Spying on striking
employes of the New York, Phila"
delphia. and Norfolk railroad.
The plea, however, is expected to
be based upon the fact that about
forty minutes prior to the killing OF
Lewis, some differences occurred at
Cape Charles between strikers and
strike breakers.
Parsons, an onlOOker, was one OF
those crowded in to gather informa-
tlon. Some of the union men are
6eAid then to have warned him that
II would be advisable for him to go
home or get off the street before he
go. hurt, as they claimed it was his
practice to eavesdrop on what the
union men were doing.
Lewis was a union man and was
on strike, but was at home at the
time of this trouble. Within an
hour afterward. however, Lewis
came downtown and met Parsons.
In ihe conversation which followed
Lewis is said to have remarked
that. We are tired OF Your cave
dropping on us"
Parsons flew into rage, grabbed
his revolver from his automobile
and fired all five of it's cartridges
into the body of Lewis. who was
killed instantly.
The courthouse at EastVille. while
not large, proves an historic setting
for the trial. 1t contains con-
tinuous records of Northampton
county from 1886 to the present
the oldest continuous records of
any county in America. A few
counties have oder records. bat
they are not continuous because
of having been destroyed by fire
or lost.
