Suit Against W.B. Cole in Death of W.W. Ormond Set for April 26, 1926

Cole Suit Set for This Month. . . Rev. A.L. Ormond Asks for Heavy Damages from Rockingham Man

Raleigh, April 9—Trial of the suit brought by Rev. A.L. Ormond, against W.B. Cole, Rockingham capitalist, asking for $150,000 in damages for the death of Ormond’s son, has been set for Monday, April 26, in Wake Superior court.

There are several cases not ahead of it, but as several of them are expected to be continued or settled out of court, it is considered altogether probable that the Ormond case will be reached early in the week.

The suit was started last fall immediately following Cole’s acquittal of the killing of W.W. Ormond. The answer was filed early in January, a reply filed later, and the case is now regularly set on the docket.
