Raleigh, June 14—Final judgment on the $150,000 damage suit brought by Rev. A.L. Ormond against W.B. Cole, mill owner of Rockingham, for what is charged the wrongful death of his son, Bill Ormond, will be handed out I Wake County Superior Court tomorrow morning, Judge Barnhill, who is presiding over that body, stated this afternoon.
A agreement to be embodied into a formal judgement and signed when the case is called for trial tomorrow, says the News and Observer, has been drawn in which Cole agrees to pay the father of young Ormond the sum of $15,000 costs in the case and have all the original pleadings withdrawn from the record and destroyed, marking the final chapter of litigation which began when Cole shot young Ormond.
The Rev. Ormond entered the suit after Cole had been acquitted of the murder of young Ormond in the Richmond Superior Court last August.
