with the murder of w. W Ormond

here today The grand jury deliberat-
ed less than an hour.
Cole, who since the shooting has
been in Jail without privilege of bond,
made his entrance into the courtroom
shortly after the Indictment was re-
turned. He was dressed neatly. After
shaking Ina nds with defending attor-
neys he sat at the defense table.
Cole pleaded not guilty to the in
dictment when arraigned before Judge
Finley. +. Don Phillips. solicitor gen
eral. entered motion Immediately after
arraiGnmcnt OF cole. asking for a Spe-
cial Nanire from some county other
than Richmond In making his mo-
ton Mr. Phillips declared a jury that
would give a trial satisfactory to State
and defense could not be drawn from
Richmond County.
Letters Yelled in Mystery.
Attentions paid by Ormond to Miss
Elizabeth Cole, daughter of the ac-
cused. with whom he had been ac-
quainted several years. are believed
to have precipitated the situation
climaXed by the shooting. Although
OrmCnd and Cole at first were on
amicahle terms, later they became
estrauged, and Ormond was requested
to cease paying attentions TO Miss
Cole.
Relations between Cole. Ormond and
the young woman are believed to be
described in a series of letters that
passed between the two men prior
to the shooting. Attorneys for the
defense and prosecution have refused
to discuss the correspondence. Every
rumor ema mating from the mystery
surrounding the affair has had Its
basis in the correspondence, and its

Srlf-Defense Plea Expected.
Don Philips. solicitor general. who
heads the prosecution. said he
would press for conviction of first
degree murder. which under the State
law carried sentence Of death.
1t is expected that Cole will plead
self-deforse. basing the plea on let
ters said to have passed between the
two men.
Taking or evidence probably will not
begin until Thursday. In the event
the prosecution requests a yenire of
prospective iurynen from another
county, which has been indicated. ar
guments first will be heard on that
subject.
Attorneys from tive cities. headed
by Clyde lIoey, Shelby, will assist

Priority Is Studied.

General staff studies have been in
progress all year in an effort to round
the Air Service and other similar
major projects into an adequate pro
gram involving reasonable costs for
the gradual development of national
defense plans under the act of 1920.
An element of the study is the de-
termination of priority to be given
each project as it touches on urgent
necessities for national security. F'u-
ture appropriations as they become
available would be applied in accord
ance with the table of precedence thus
TO be worked out. In making that
determination such matters as the re-
suits of the war games in Hawaiian
waters last Spring and around the
Panama Canal the previous year have
yitally important bearing.
The ammunition reserve project is
among the major needs which the
department is trying to reconcile into
a program to be laid before Congress.
The war stock now on hand is I
years old and the life of artillery am
muntion is 90 years and that of small
arm cartridges 10 years.
The project approved contemplates
a 10-year development to reach re
serve ammunition pool valued at
$500, 900 900 the artillery reserve about
tQ III lildl llltt pN
the American Army at the battle of
st. Mihiel alone. 1t would provide
for the needs in one great battle of
an army of 600, 900 men and to keep
it revolving so that none would be
more than 20 years old at any time.
1t costs about s10.00O,000 annually
after the pool itself had been built
up with larger expenditures. Target
work would use up about that
each year.
Housing Problem.
Another major project is the Army
housing problem. already before Con
gress, with ii 10-year building pro
gram urged by Secretary Weeks, the
total cost to be sl13000,00O. The
urgency of this problem, due to the
leaky and dilapidated condition of
war-built temporary quarters and
their effect on Army morale and re-
enlistment. would not permit, officials
believe, its being deferred until a
program covering all major
projects could be evolved. The adop-
ton of the air expansion project would
involve an increase of S104 100000 in
the housing project and is included
