TO Another County is
Expected

Attorneys representing Ed
win G. Moore II, charged with
unlawful burning in connection
with a fire at Parkerson's
Hotel, Nags Head, are expected
to ask Judge Henry L. Stevens,

to another county, possibly
Pasquotank.
Just a few days ago, the
North Carolina Supreme Court
set a special term of Dare
County Superior Court for June
18 to try the Moore case, due to
the crowded docket awaiting the
May term of court, which will

from Perquimans County was
ordered called for the case.

Moore, involving buildings dam
Naged in the fire.
Parkerson's. Hotel was dam
aged by what was believed to
have been an incendiary fire
April 25, 1861. Moore had
bought the hotel from Mrs.
Elizabeth @. Parkerson, and
had employed Mrs. Parkerson
to operate it for him. Difficult
les had developed between the
two over the operation of the
hotel, and over payment for the
property, prior to the fire.
One homicide case is due to be
tried next week. Joseph Alfred

accused in connection with an
accident on the Croatan Sound

two persons lost their lives. The

Poole, Negro, charged with
manning and disfiguring A
manda Lee Meekins, Negro,
with intent to go render her i'm
potent.
