Special Term Requested for W.B. Cole's Trial, Aug. 19, 1925

Want Special Term for the Cole Case. . . Gov. McLean Will be Asked to Call a Special Term in September to Try W.B. Cole

Rockingham, Aug. 19 (AP)—Formal request was to be made today of Governor McLean for the calling of a special term of court in September to try the case of W.B. Cole, wealthy manufacturer of Rockingham, held on a charge of murder in connection with the slaying of William W. Ormond of Raleigh.

Solicitor Don Pittman and associate counsel agreed in a conference last night that the special term would be desirable in view of the crowding of the docket at the October term and the fact that the trial would require a greater length of time, which the special term is expected to give.
