C., Sept. 30.?The , preme court of North Carolina lay handed down an opinion in 3 famous Nellie Cropsey case in ^ lich James Wilcox was charged th the murder of Nellie Crop- ^ f in Elizabeth City last Novemr. The court gives Wilcox a u w trial. h The caso is a familiar one to the " blic. Nellie Cropsey, a beau- ^ ul young girl, disappeared at " ^ht from her homo in Elizabeth n ty.

Tlti: ty- 0 ven days after her body was 11 and in Pasquotank river, and 0 ilcox was arrested. He was '* ied and sentenced to be hanged. a stoutly declared his innocence M d an appeal to the supreme urt was taken. a In granting a new trial the su- 0 erne court says the evidence was I1 tirely circumstantial. The ju- 11 does not seem to have given 91 e necessary cautious and vigi- ? at attention to the evidence, or e presentation of the prisoner's b( so by counsel. It says that the ^ nduct of tho spectators in and '' out the court was sufficient to 0 ejudicc the jury. "No such ^ mostrntions," reads tho opin*. e n, "wero over witnessed in our 11 ate before." * Among those demonstrations jro people leaving tho court n om in a body and the ringing J1 a fire alarm. The cou.t does a t find tho jury was influenced 8 r these things, but viowing all P this disorderly conduct, it says 81 o trial was not conducted in the oper form of law, and gives a w trial to Wilcox, which it says c ust be attended by no such de- t( onstrations of lawlessness and t! timidatiou as wore present on 8 o former occasion.

F.,rt Mill, S. C., Sept. 30.? Hum the people of this indua. ious town awoke this morning ?eir attention was called to the ict that a scene peculiar to the ild and turbulent West had con enacted here. It was notliig shoH of a bank robbery, a enuino bank robbery done in the lost approved manner, with outness and despatch. At 3:55 'clock this morning the savings aok was forcibly entered, ovidnt 1 y by experts. Entrance was ffectcd through the front door nd by the aid of explosives tho uter and inner vault doors wero lown open and then the doors of tie costly safo with its time lock ras blown into scrap iron. Evi enees of tbo explosion sit e seen 11 about the room, but no serins damage to the building is aparent. All the valuablo papers 1 the vault were more or loss marred and mutilated and the llicers of the bank have spent le entire day recovering and orting tbem. With several undred dollars in lulls damaged V the explosive and some silver, ithcr overlooked or intentionally 3ft, about $000 has been recovred. The thieves got the balnee'on hand, amounting lo'about 2,500 in round number. Tbo business of the bank will ot be effected by the loss. It is list a mutter of a few months or years p rrofits A statement igned by Capt. S. E. White, resident, is posted on the door evinir the bank will be onen for L usiness to-morrow. There has not been the slightst uneasiness among the deposits, for it was generally known tiat the cash on hard was but a mall part of the assets of the auk. There are no clues to the perperators of the deed. They must ave escaped through the country s there were no passing trains intill 8 o'clock this morning. V. large wall clock hung near the ault had its equilibrium disturb id by the concussion and stopped hereby marking the time of the iccurrence. A number of tools iclonging to the robbers and lome which were stolen from a ilacksmith shop near-by wore oft on the floor. People in all lirections in the country are rojorted to have heard the robbers reaping past their houses in velicles. Four men, one of whom serried a satchel, or said to have jeen seen crossing a field one and mo-half miles from to*\n. This s the most reasonable clue, for he robbers would hide in tho sreek bottoms until night and then ifter dividing the spoils scatter n different directions. Cashier floacham says he has had kindly >ffers of assistance from other anks, but says ho will neednothng more than perhaps accommolation in the matter of exchange, .ato this afternoon a two-onco utile which had contained the litro-glyccrino was found in the and.
