, WOODFlN ORDERED
RELEASED ON BA L

Acting unde.' writ of ..:..5cas
corpus, a, soci-t- Ju5tic, Clar,l-
son, of the North Carolina Su-
preme Court ordered the release
under bail Of w. F. Woodfin,
Federal prohibition agent char
ged with the murder of Grover
c. Bradley, prominent merchant
and farmer of Northampton
county. Bond was fixed in the
sum of $4,000, to be approved
by the clerk of Northampton
County Superior Court.
The decision followed hotly
contested hearing before Judge
Clarkson, with 10 lawyers and
more than 80 witnesses partici-
pating in the proceedings.
The practical effect of Judge
Clarkson's decision is some
what doubtful. In a written
opinion announcing his decision.
Judge Clarkson ruled squarely
that there was not probable
cause to sustain charge of
murder in the first degree and it
was intimated at the hearing
that in the event of such a ruling
Solicitor Midyette would not
present a bill to the grand jury
charging the capital crime. How
ever, the matter is a decision for
the solicitor and his right to
send bill or that of the grand
jury to determine it is in nowise
affected by the granting of the
bill.
Government authorities have
interested themselves strongly
in Woodfin's case and have
rallied to his defense.
