After Judge Parker had up
held Carlyle's objection to the
question and to others in the same
vein, Nance asked that the an
swers be placed on the record any
way, and young Ewing whispered
his testimony to the court reporter
SO that the jury could not hear.
He said that his maternal grand
father lost his mind and killed
himself, that one of his aunts had
been committed to a hospital for
the insane, and that his brother,
Robert Ewing, committed suicide
at the age of II.
Ewing is charged with first-de-

State has shown that her death
resulted frem a blow on the head,
but 1t has offered only circum.

was struck by Ewing.
Neighbors of the couple testified
that Ewing often beat his wife,
cursed her, and threatened hel
life.
AS a motive for the alleged muir.
der, Solicitor Carlyle has offered
evidence that Ewing was infatuat.

Sutherland.
Defense Testimony
The defense, as had been expect.

have testified, however, thai
Ewing drank so excessively that
it had rendered him insane and
incapable of premeditating and
executing the crime of murder.

his brother was wholly sane''

Regional Designation

A movement to designate this reg
ion Southeastern North Carolina and
not the Wilmington area by all who
make any mention of it is highly in
order.
This was brought out at a meeting
of the Southeastern North Carolina
Beach association Friday night. Two
speakers made several references to
the region as 'the Wilmington area"
An alert gentleman from Southport
took exception, and rightfully so. He
brought out that development of the
t%erritory's resorts as a whole is the
aim of the association and should not
be de-emphasized through over prom
|inence of anv one community above all
others.
Because of it's size, Wilmington is
the logical capital of Southeastern
North Carolina.
Yet, it's prosperity depends to a
marked degree on the well-being of the
surrounding country. AS Brunswick,
Columbus, Bladen, Duplin, Fender and
Onslow and other Southeastern coun-
ties grow, so will this city benefit. But
we have no right whatsoever to claim
any of these benefits unless we CO.
operate and assist the nearby COM
munities in their endeavors.
The term wilmington area" is a
bit too possessive. 1t does not 60 well
with the other towns. They too, are
just as intensely interested in them
selves as we are in our city. Yet, all
together, they make up a section of the
state that is on the eve of greater in
dustrial, agricultural and recreational
development. The success attained
along these lines will depend greatly OF
the unity and ability of the various
communities to work together. They
can do it best if they will often lay
aside their individual Identities and
merge their efforts into a great one to
make Southeastern North Carolina one
of the states richest and best regions.

an easy task; it will call for the high
est type of diplomacy.
Secretary Byrnes has set the course
to rehabilitate a people led to ruin oJ
a political doctrine that the remainder
of the world, for it's W protection,
vas forced to crush. Whether 1t Will be
followed depends not only upon the Ger
man people but upon the victorious Al
lies. The sailing will not be easy and the
VOYAGE will be one of years. Yet, there
is hope for all. Certainly the spirit OF the
United States is clear but whether the
situation remains that way depends on
Russia more than any other power.
His Stuttgart remarks offer the OPP
~portunity of either better or worse CO.
operation with Moscow in seeking to
restore some order in Europe. The next
step should be by Russia and we await
it with considerable interest. 1t will be a
big factor in deciding Germany's
future.
