Judge Pioley'tt Position
Judge Finloy, who presided over
the trial of W. B. Cole, charged with
the killing of Bill Ormond at Rock
ingham, N. C., said that the hearing
held on the sanity of Cole, following
his acquittal, was called so that no
loophole might be left open. Contin
uing, Judge Pinley said; "1 don't
hesitate to repeat thnt I think a dif
ferent verdict should have been re
turned. The juror* let their hearts
rule thun instead M their heads. I
will say, however, that, under t ho
same Circumstances that seven or
eight juries out of ten \\\>uld haw
returned the same .'verdict. They per
mit their feelings to warp their rea
son. They returned this verdict, and
it cannot be changed. They* wore'
honest, prayerful, conscientious men.
When he has# shown his sanity by a'l
j these affidavits I cannot commit the
I defendant."
