The family insisted on the simplest of services without eulogy or hymns, but friends made an unusual showing of florial tributes and the casket was covered with the national colors. Comrades of Ormond in service overseas were pallbearers. The Rev. C. M. Hawkins, D .D., the Rev. C. L. Read, presiding elder in the Metho dist conference, and Major A. Mc- Cullen conducted the services More than 300 automobiles were in the procession to the cemetery. The Wilmington (N, C.) Light in fantry reserve corps, to which Or mond belonged, among scores of or ganizations and individuals sending telegrams to Ormond’s family, wired the following: “Please accept/t>ur tenderest sym pathy in your bereavement, our loss and a loss to the many friends of Bill Ormond. We loved Bill- for-himself, because he was himself in parlor or on battlefield, and neV^r was he for getful of consideration for others. We can not understand why any man, rich, poor, or otherwise, would snuff out' the last breath of a man among' men, the peer of thousands, in many ! ways. We further attest our regrets ' by quoting that: ‘To live in the hearts we leave behind is not dying’.” It has been well known here that Ormond antl^Iiss Elizabeth Cole, 24, had been sweethearts for a long time. In recent months it appeared that Cole entered objections to the ro mance. It is alleged that letters were exchanged between Ormond, at Raleigh, and Cole, in which threats were made by each. In the spring, Fred W. Bynum, attorney for Cole, it is understood, carried a paper to Or mond to sign, which he did, Bynum being quoted as saying to the Rev. A. L Ormond, father of the dead man: “This now ends the matter; every thing is settled and there is nothing more to it.” Ormond’s friends insist that he re spected that agreement. Saturday he and his brother, Allison, came here from Raleigh, en route to Myrtle Beach, S. C., Ormond going to a swim ming resort with friends and return ing about 5 o’clock, made a telephone date with Miss Laura Page Steele, to call within a few moments and they got into his car, when Cole approach ed from behind and began firing with out, so far as known, speaking a word. Ormond died in the car in a few mo ments. No weapon was found on him or in his c*r. Cole’s friends insist that a man of his commanding posi tion and intelligence must have suffi cient justification, but no statement has been issued clearing tip the im mediate cause of the homocide. An array of w lleknown lawyers has been retained fof the defense and they have apparently decided not to press any action in habeas corpus pro ceedings to effect Cole’s release on bond, pending the opening of October court. The solicitor will be assisted by private counsel, it is stated. The North Carolina department of the American Legion, according to Com mander Wade H. Phillips of Lexing- tpn, will not, Contrary to reports, em ploy counsel to prosecute, the com mander stating that any action the Rockingham post might take would be solely as a post and not as a state department matter.
