the defendant was announced i'm
mediately after the case was
opened.
No New Evidence
1t brought out no intimation
rs to the new evidence gathered
since the inquest against either
Walker or Libby.
Alb sat quietly, listening to it all
beside his counsel.
He was freshly Shaven and
dressed in a neat blue serge suit,
O soft blue shirt, and gay colored
tie.
His hair, closely cropped at the
time he appeared as a witness at
the inquest one month ago, had
grown.
He didn't appear surprised at
his release from Jail. He said:
81 feel fine. Why shouldn't
l."
The arrival of Holman here re-
suited in an about-face in his at
titude toward the surrender of
Libby. In Cincinnati he had de-
c1ared that he would not disclose
the whereabouts of his daughter
until she had recovered her
health.
But, after the lawyer-father of
The missing defendant conferred
with Solicitor Carlisle Higgins,
who declined to discuss the mat
ter of bail with his visitor, Hol-
man asserted that he wished to
cooperate with officials.
Wants Speedy Trial
He declared that he had no in
Eention to defy the laws of North
Carolina, and pointed out that if
he had he would not have come
within the State jurisdiction by
coming to Winstom-Salem. He
added:
Il want to have the trial Of
my daughter as soon as possible.
I am confident, Of course, that
she will be completely exOner-
1ted of the charges against her.
'"The desire for a speedy trial
and the added natural desire to
save my daughter from all need
less inconvenience before the
trial were the main reasons for
my coming here"
Holman declined to discuss
whether or not his daughter had
filed claim yet to the estate OF
her young husband.
Claim on Estate
He said it was a private matter
and did not care to comment
upon it. Recently Libby asked w.
N. Reynolds, uncle of the dead
youth, to act as executor of the
estate The uncle did not accept
the position.
The 30-day period permitted the
widow under State law in which
to ask for letters of administra-
tion expires today.
If an application is not made,
q citation will be issued from the
office of the clerk of superior
court, allowing 20 additional days.
After this time any relative or
creditor may ask appointment of
an administrator. or the clerk
may select one himself.
The hide-and-Seek game over the
WhereaboutS of Mrs. Reynolds con-
Einued today.

While local counsel engaged by
Holman were planning a way to
keep Libby out of a prison cell,
Sheriff Transou Scott expanded

was definitely expecting to be-
come a mother.

before the coroner's jury which
