CUMBERLAND COURTHOUSE,

sentence to five years Imprisonment
in connection with the shooting to
death of the Rev. Edward Sylvester
Pierce in front Of the Baptist par
sonage here on last June 5, will be
granted a new trial will not be an
nounced by Judge B. D. White until

c. Garrett, which begins here De
cember II.
The judge made this announcement
here today just before hearing pre-
liminary motions in Larkin Garrett S

was considerably delayed on account
of the absence Of l.. o. Wendenberg,
Of defense counsel, who was delayed
en- route by trouble with his auto
mobile.
Judge White denied a motion by
defense counsel for postponement of
Larkin CARROTS trial until after the
Christmas holidays and also over
ruled a motion by the prosecution
for a change|of venue.
AS in the case of his brother, Lar.
kin Garrett will be tried by a jury
from another county. The prosecu-
tons motion for a change Of venire

NORTH CAROLINA TO
MARK BIRTHPLACE
OF VIRGINIA DARE

MANTEO, N. c., Dec. IA
movement has been started by a
grour of citizens to permanently
mark historical spots, and one OF
the places to be designated by
monument, if the plans materialize,
is the birthplace of Virginia Dare,
the first white child born on Amer
lean soil. The spot is on Roanoke
Island, often referred to as the
cradle of the English race in Amer
ica." There is some doubt as to
the exact spot where Virginia Dare
was born, but it is believed to be
near Fort Raleigh, about three
miles north of ManteO.
Mounds of earth forming the sides
of a pentagon, at each angle OF
which is a stone post prOtruding
about a foot from the ground, show
the location of the old fort. In the
center of the fort there is now an
unpretentious store marker on
which is inscribed s ne of the his
torical records of the place. I'm
scrupulous relic collectors have
married the present stone marker,
bu' its inscription still can be read.
The county Of which Roanoke
Island is d part is named Dare, in
homo of the first English child born
in America, and the seat Of the
county is named Manteo in honor OF
the Indian chief who was the first
person to be baptized in the new
land. Manteo enjoys the distinction
of being the only county seat in the
United States, with the single eX-
ception of Key West, Fla, located
on an island.
Today, the island is sparsely set
tied. The inhabitants make i liveli-
hood by fishing. They do little
farming. In fact, it is said that
there is only one commercial farmer
on t. whole island, which is twelve
miles long and about three miles
| wide.
Tn North Carolina state depart
ment of education and the state
historical commission, in order to
present to the people the history of
Roanoke Island in pictorial form, in
1921 had the settlement of the
island enacted and photographed in
5000 feet of motion picture film.
August Is, 1902, the first celebra-
| ton in honor of the birth of Viz
GINA Dare was held at Fort Ra-
leigh. Since then the celebrations
have been repeated from time to
time. 1t is said that at these occa-
sions only has the flag of Queen
Elizabeth-a red cross on a field of
! white-been displayed.

born; that later she was stolen by
gypsies; and that he rescued her in
Nebraska.
The judge said he has been ad-

before. were married.

C[0RE ACQUITTED,
Skeleton MURDER
REMAINS MYSTERY

ORLANDO, Fla, Nov. Sex
hibit "a" a skeleton found in Spring
swamp near Rock Springs by hunt
ers last winter. was in the possession
Of authorities here today, and the
mysterious disappearance and sup
uosed death of Alexander 2. Boyer,
a former United States army officer,
remained a greater mystery than
ever.
John W. Clore, tried for murder in
connection with Boyer's supposed
death, was acquitted by a jury here
late yesterday after twenty minutes
deliberation by the trial body. Clore
was indicted jointly with his step
son, Raymond Taylor, on a charge
of murder, the prosecution al
leging during the trial that the
two had lured Boyer into the
swamp and there killed him. The
cases We're severed, however, when
physicians affidavit was in
troduced stating that Taylor was i'll
and unable to stand trial at this
time. Boyer, according to the prose
cutting attorneys, supplied the mo-
tive for the killing by attentions to
Chores wife.
The state alleged that Boyer was
murdered October /, 1921, follow
ing his disappearance from his farm
near here a short time before. Boyer
lived alone, witnesses said.
Witnesses identified boots and
clothing found near the skeleton as
some similar to articles they had
seen in Boyer's possession prior to
his disappearance. A collar button
found near the skeleton, bearing
initials similar to Boyer's, was intro
duced by states attorneys to iden-
tify the remains as that of Boyer.
But with the acquittal of Clore,
the jury failed to identify the skele-
ton as that Of Boyer, and no indlca'
ton Of further action had been
forthcoming TODAY.
