H|GR SCHOOL BAND
AT DUKE FESTIVAL
Invited To Home Coming
Parade And Georgia
Tech Game Oct. IS

An invstation has been extended
Henderson high school band to par4
ticipate in the elaborate exercises OF
the Duke University homecoming on
Saturday of next week. October s15,
and will be accepted, it was learned
today.
1t will be one of the biggest oc-
casions in which the band has par
ticipated. After the parade, the men
bers of the band are to be guests Of
the Durham and Duke homecoming
day committee at "a barbecue on the
Duke campus, and will be guests at
the Duke-Georgia Tech football game.
It is understood they will also parade
in the Duke stadium along with the
other bands; between the halves IF
the big. game.
The invitation to the Henderson
High school band came as one of
the few such musical organizations
in the state to participate. 1t is
understood here that only two or
three others will be admitted although
a large number are said to have
sought a place in the program of ex-
ercises for the day.
The band will take some As music
ians to the big envent. They will
all wear their blue and white uni
forms, which next week will be clean
ed and frightened to make the best
possible appearance. Drills of the
band are already under way, and the
young players are determined that
the thousands who will watch the
parade will know they are on hand.
and also know what manner of band
they have built here.
Friends of the school and those who
know something of the magnitude
of the occasion, which is a big day
for Durham as well as Duke, feel
that the recognition that has thus
been extended to the high school band
is outstanding.

A iurv in Vance Superior Court late
this afternoon was given the case in
which David Jiggetts, alias Clarence
Bracy, Negro, was charged with the
first degree murder of Wililam Ham
ilton Williamson, 65-year-old towns
vile township farmer, at his TOBACCO
barn a little over a month ago. jig
gets stated freely on the witness
stand that he fatally dubbed the
farmer and then robbed him, but indI-
Gated he did not intend to kill him.
It appeared that the only issue be-
fore the jury was the mental COM
potency of the 23-year-old Negro.
Testimony in the case was begun
late Thursday afternoon after nearly
an entire day was spent IN obtaining
a Jury, and after more than 100 spe-
cial veniremen had been called.
Evidence was concluded shortly be-
fore the noon recess for lunch, ana
r. B. Carter of the defense and II.
E. White of the prosecution MADE
their arguments to the jury. At the
afternoon session arguments were
made by ]. H. Bridgers and Jasper
b. Hicks, of the defense, with the
closing plea by Solicitor E. r. Tyler,
who demanded a first degree verdict.
Judge r. Hunt Parker then gave the
courts charge and the twelve men
filed out to reach conclusion on the
fate of the Negro.
The defense, named by the court to
appear for the prisoner, who had no
counsel, pinned it's hopes on the low
mentality of the young Negro. There
were others, however, who claimed he
had an abundance of intelligence to
>knwo right from wrong, and that he
knew enough to attempt to escape
after the attack on Mr.. Williamson
at his tobacco barn. He died the next
day at Maria Parham hospital, with
out ever regaining consciousness. ~
One of the only three witnesses who
testified just before adjournment OF
court for the day Thursday afternoon
was J. w. Keaton, of Townsville, who
related a conversation he had with
Jiggetts while he was still held in
the Wake county Jail in Raleigh. Mr..
Keaton said Jiggetts admitted to him
repeatedly that he attacked Mr.. Will
hanson for the purpose of robbery
and that he had no assistant or ac-
{. complete.
Mr.. Keaton said Jiggetts said he OBJ
tanned 1920 from tobacco sack purse
he found in the farmers pocket. He
asked the boy if he would have killed
a man for that much money, and he
said he would not, but that he ex7
pected to find some SIS to $40.

CHAPTER So

IT RAINED the night that Bob
Cushing mentioned Ronald. He
sat in great, overstuffed chair,
long legs extended to the fire, hair
\ bright in the freight, and knitted
his brows.
Marjorie, dropping in unex-
pectedly, sat across from him. the
fire shades making her brown dress
warmer, her chestnut hair sparkle.
She had rung the bell just after
Bob pushed it.
Judy was on a l1assock, a green

a smudge OF charcoal on her nose,
for she had been working when
the bell rang twice.
Marjorie and Bob had mounted

DO you know anything about

asked. She told the story slowly,
eyes on Bob's face, trying to pierce
his thoughts, TO make him see how
improbable it was for Ronald to
lie or bribe or cheat.
When she finished, he nodded,
shook the ashes from an old pipe.
