FOR TIlE MURDER OF MISS CROPSEY risoner Pleads Not Guilty - Venlre of 250 Jurors Drawn - Another 4Chapter in Famous Case. A Tuesday special to the Charlotte Observer from Elizabeth City, N. C., says: "The grand jury has found a true bill against James Wilcox. The report was :iade at 12:15 o'clock Tuesday after coon. The jurors came into the court room escorted by an officer and with -all the dignity and solemnity due the occasion turned over the bill of indict :ment to Judge Jones. In handIng the document to the judge, the foreman 'said: 'This is what we find.' " The court ordered the prisoner 'brought into court after donner at 2 o'clock. so that he might be arraigned. 'The order was oboyed and at the hour settJame Wilcox, accompanied by his father ,and Deputy Sheriff Reed 'marched into the bar. The court house -was well filled with people and every -eye turne d to gaze upon the prisoner. Wilcox is a very ordinary-looking, compactly-built man of about 28 years. 'Ps shoulders are broad for a man of 'his size, and his head is large and is the rost striking part of his person. II is bulky. square and heavy. His hait Was neatly trimmed and his face clean ,shaven. His general appearance aboui the face is that of a courageous, deter mined, bull dog. He did not as much ai allow the muscles of his face to rela while in ahe court house. In fact he ap -peared to be troubled and the least bil testless. He was carefully, but plainl3 -dressed. His hair was parted in the inldd.e and a flat, smooth curl lay or 'his fcrehead just beneath the "part." The soli or, George P lift his righi an' ly and the pIet $and. He 'roeyed prom hi -of "notguilty" was entere iUg toiney, E. F. Adylett. The bill of Indictment reads as follows: "The State of North Carolina, c'as ouotank County Superior Court, March 'Term. 1902. The jurors for the State 'upon their oaths present that James Wilcox. late of the said county and 'State, on the 20th day of November, 1901, with force and arms in the coun ty of Pasquotank.

The State asked that a special veDire .of 200 he drawn. The defense insisted -on 250. which were drawn froma the 'boxes by a boy, William Younga, u-ader -ten years old. This ease promises a lively c.mtest. 'The prosecution and the defenise are alert an.d will fight every inch of -ground. Aydett asked the judge to anake a neo to the effect that th.e de -fense ajected to the box from which -the jurors were drawn, claiming that it had not been revised, within the last two years a; the law provides.

Corcner Testifies in the Cropsey Copk Elizabeth City, Special to Charlctte Observer.-The Wilcox trial is well under way. The jurors have been se lected and the witnesses are being hear d. The defense has done well in choosing the jurymen. Nine of the twelve areY elligent-looking young men. Several of them seem to be of the same social position as the prisoner. The negroes,. two of them, are of the ante-bellum type, each being between 50 and 60 years old. They are honest, good-looking, full-blooded Africans. Pendleton Bright, the twelfth juror, does not appear to be a man of much intelligence. He is young and innocent looking. The jury is in charge of Dep uty Sheriff L. J. Pritchard. .The court house was well filled at an early hour Thursday. Many women were within the bar. The crowd was good humored. Dr. I. Fearing, coroner of the county, was the first witness called. He said: "I am a graduate of the Colloge of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore. Have been coroner three years and have held two post-mortem examinations. One was held on the body of Miss Nellie Cropsey just after Christman day, on the 27th of Decem ber. "I found the body in Pasquotank: river 50 yards from the Cropsey resi dence, about 25 yards to the right of the house, looking to the river. The body had been tied down by Mr. Still man, the fisherman who found it. it was carried to a little outhouse near . the river. Drs. J. E. Wood, O. McMullan and myself held the autopsy. it was be gun after the body had been out of the water an hour. The two doctors, myself and six jurors were present. We first examined the clothing to see if there were any marks of violence. The skirt was of dark goods and the waist red. She wore a slipper on one foot, the right, and nothing but a stocking on the other. I found the clothing In fair condition. There were -no torn places. The fingers were partially drawn and the limbs were limp. I did not examine the finger nails. While in te wttbJ from the b We first cut the stomach exami d them to be those of a virgin. T b was normal. The condition of the .hy men and the womb indicated that she was a pure woman. We found the in testines and stomach normal. The heart was empty on both sides. We cut off a piece of the right lung and found that on being squeezed it- emitted a small amount of frothy mucous. Nothing was found in the pleura. "The neck was all right except a mark or depression caused by the col lar. We examined the head and noticed that It was a little more swollen on the left than on the right side. We quit there, but after going up town and see ing the solicitor we went back and held an autopsy of the head. Then we made an Incision around the head, beginning on the right side, and removed the scalp. The skull was left bare. As we cut through the left temple we saw a swelling or contusion. We found In the swollen place, which was about 2x2 inches in size, a tablespoonful of clot ted blood. The membrane over the bone was c6lored dark blue. The condition there was brought about by a blow." The defense objected to the question Ithat brought out the last assertion e.nd the court ruled that it was competent; that the witness was a medical expert. The defense entered an exception but the court stood firm and the examina tion rontinued. The witness continued: "The blow was given by some round, padded in-. strument. Such a blow would produce unonsciousness which would likely last half an hour. "The absence of water in the stom ach. lungs and the pleural cavities would iricate that death was not caused by drowning. If MIiss Cropsey had got in the water al.ive and con scious and drowned,: the water would have been in these. Along with the water would have been digested or un digested food in the stomach and blood and froth in the lungs. If I had foun-i these conditions I would have said that she went in the water conscious." Census Report on Tobacco.

A MARCH BLIZARD Sweeps Down On the Western States Bringing Deep Snow RAILROAD BUSINESS PARALYZED. relegraph Wires Down and Trains Unable to Plough Through Drifts of Snow. St. Paul, Special.-North Dakota nd the Canadian Northwest have ex erienced the worst snow storm In iany years and railroad traffic is ractically paralyzed. ' The Northern pacific and Great Northern Jhave not ioved a wheel for nearly 36 hours in he blizzard-stricken district, and ave abandoned all .efforts to do so ntil the fury of the storm shall bate. The high winds has piled the now in the iotntains, and packed it a solid masses, many deep cuts being ntirely filled. The temperature has ee radual- falling and is now at 0 below the ero mark. Not a trans Dntinental train has arrived at St. aul since Friday, and none is ex ected for several days. The North rn Pacific reports its westbound coast -ains which left St. Paul Saturday torning, tied up at Fargo, the road eycnd there being blocked. gvery effort is being made by the )ad to keep its passengers who are ? iow-bound warm and well fed, and >r this reason trains are being held t stations where the accommodations re good, rather than attempt to get a iem through with a possibility of be ig tied up between stations. The altey division of the Northern Pa fic between Frankfort and Winni ,g is entirely abandoned. No trains ave attempted -to run since Friday ght and exact conditions. on this di sion are not known by the general J cers here, as. the telegraph wires precede - ur p wce e avy aowfall. I'" The situation on the Great North- t ,n is equally as bad. The line is tied t p entirely between Grand Forks and Tilliston, N. .D, a distance of about l 5 miles, and all wires have been lost eyond Fargo. All communication ith western Dakota and Montana ints has been lost. Su fierce has 1 een the storm that it has been inad lsable to attempt to re-open the road < ntil it abates. Reports received at I he general offices indicate that the ale has somewhat subsided, but that bre snow still continues to fall. The ranch of the Great Northern runn ng to Winnipeg is also tied up. No rains have abeen started northward ince Friday night, and those that rere -caught out en the road by the torm bbave been held at the stations ear the border. Winnipeg Is reported to be entirely at off from railroad communication 'ith the outside world. The Canadian acific trans-continental trains are3 sow-bound somnewhere west of there.] nd no prospect of relief is yet in ight. The storm started on Friday, being receded by a light rainfall and ac ompanied -by high winds. The rain oon turned to sleet and.then -to snow .nd this has fa,llen without cessation or more than 36 hours.. The terrific ~ale drifted the snow badly and it i ext to impossible to wade. ttirough1 he streets. B3usiness of all kinds has een at a standstill since Friday ight. S .far.- as known there has been nio loss of life, .but owing to the Lemoralized condition of the wires ate news has not been received from he remote districts.
