Trial of Former Chief of Detectives for Killing of Lawyer Set for Nov. 10, 1925

State Is Ready for Trial of Jesse Wyatt

“The State is ready and will press for the trial of Jesse Wyatt,” said Solicitor W.F. Evans when asked if the case of the former chief of detectives of the Raleigh police force, who shot and killed S.S. Holt, Smithfield lawyer, on June 1 will be tried.

The trial of Wyatt, twice continued, has been set for Tuesday, and will probably be reached about noon of that day. The term of Superior court this week is a regular term, that last week having been a special term. –News and Observer
