Durham, Aug. 15 (AP)—Robert H. Wiles of Columbia, S.C., was in the county jail here today awaiting the next term of Superior Court in which he will go on trial for murder on a charge of killing his wife and Ralph Gordon, with whom she is alleged to have been found in a rooming house.
Through his attorneys the defendant yesterday waived preliminary examination and was bound over to court. Through advice of his counsel Wiles declined to discuss the case. Friends of the Columbia man stated here his attorneys will make a determined fight to secure his acquittal, planning to enter a plea of self defense, and to depend upon the “unwritten law” as secondary defense.
