CHAPTER The Exhuming of Nail's Body by the Coroner Legal Question Involved as to the Bringing of the Body to Raleigh. Some Hitherto Unpublished Fact. Great Indignation in Chatham Coroner T. M. Jordan was Interviewed by a Morning Post reporter yesterday, and gave out the first official statement concerning certain: phases of the Nail case, which has now become of state-wide notoriety and Interest.

Dr. Jordan said regarding his investigation that on last Saturday he was advised by a resolution passed by the jury and endorsed by counsel to go to Chatham, have the county physician or some other reputable physician make a proper autopsy In his presence upon the remains. Not having information as to the real whereabouts of the burying grounds and as to who was the county physician in Chatham, he proceeded to Pittsboro to ascertain those facts. He learned there that Dr. J.

N. Turner of Bynum was the county physician. He communicated with him by 'phone and arranged for the autopsy on Sunday at Sandy Branch Church, some fifteen miles southwest of Pittsboro, -arriving there about 11 o'clock. The remains were disinterred and a thorough investigation into th cause of the death made. The greatest indignation prevailed all through the county, he was told, and he heard plenty of expressions showing this.

The body was well preserved and there was no difficulty in ascertaining the cause of death. The autopsy was begun In the cemetery at the church, and before it ended the, experience was one not to be forgotten. A thunder storm came up with a tremendous rain and it was necessary for them to remove the remains to a school house to continue their Investigation, which lasted about three hours in all. About a dozen people were present, Including Nail's brother, his father being old and feeble and not caring to be present, but having given his permission for the disinterment of the body. The father Is an ex-Confederate soldier and a man well liked in his community.

His age is 71, and he has a wooden leg, and is a man of very moderate means. The body was reburied and the grave all filled up nicely, it being the intention then of Coroner Jordan it should so remain, in all probability. The coroner returned here Monday morning and at once laid his report on the autopsy before the county attorney, Solicitor Jones of this district being out of the The developments of the autopsy being reviewed to the county attorney on Monday, and the seriousness of the situation Impressing that official, he recommended that the body be brought here. After a consultation with the solicitor which was held by Dr. Jordan over the 'phone, Solicitor Jones being at Lillington, both the solicitor and the county attorney, advised a second disinterment and the bringing of the body here, that no legal questions might arise about the proper manner of holding the inquisition.

The original view of Coroner Jordan had been that the body should be brought back to Raleigh and the investigation and the accompanying autopsy be made here, and on looking Into the law it was found that this early view of his was the correct legal one, and both the solicitor and county attorney advised him to return to Chatham and bring the remains here at the earliest possible moment. Dr. Jordan left here Tuesday morning and went from here to Bear Creek, had the body disinterred and accompanied the remains to Raleigh, arriving here at 2 o'clock; having previously arranged with Undertaker Strickland to take charge of the body upon its ar- rival in Raleigh. It did not take the jury hilt a little time to find the facts as to these men, but there were other matters which it considered and which kept it in its secret session for an hour or more. The strain on the coroner and upon the jury during the long period of investigation has been very great, as many things might have happened which would have very greatly embarrassed officials interested," but everything went well and was carried to a most complete conclusion.

A. Adam9 of days bf a semi-tropical during the long hours of work from light to darkness, with bjrlef intermissions, with the guards armed with shot-guns and rifles, ready and "willing to shoot any convict who might flee from this Siberia located In the heartof a civilized state. This threat of death or great bodily harm makes escape impossible, and makes sure and persistent the tudding of the picks and the rapid flight of the shovels, which from dawn to dark Is typical of perpetual motion. And the boss who applies the lash is among the guards and Is armed with a leather strap about three feet long, ready to administer corporal punish-, ment In palpable violation of the express prohibition of the state constitution. He Is worked and confined and associated with thieves and felons and all "kinds of malefactors as are sent to the roads by Wake superior court.

He is about sixty-two years old and is compelled to labor from early morn to dewy eve of every clear day." The imprisonment is in violation of Article 3 of constitution, of United States which provides "th trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment, shall be by jury. The petitioner was denied a trial by jury though the offence of which he was charged exists under the common-law of the land and by this law Is triable by a jury. The petition also charges that the 14th amendment to the constitution has been violated in that he was denied the due process of law. Then Col. Harris concludes with this burst of eloquence: Eloquent Appeal "Like thousands of the oppressed and down-trodden through all the centuries since that glorious day in the history pf human liberty, when the great charter made forever imperishable, the principle that 'no free man bo taken or imprisoned bue by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land he applies for the great writ of right, the writ of habeas corpus, and he humbly seeks the portals of that court whose judges are sworn to know ho difference between the rich and the poor, where justice ever bends the listening ear to catch the plaint of the humble and lowly, and through all whose generous and benign jurisprudence is heeded the admonition of the Master "Inasmuch as ye have done it) to one of the heart of these my brethren, yet have done it unto INVESTIGATION ASKED Council of State Makes Requests of Dr.

McKse He Willingly Calls a Meeting of the Directors of the State Hospital for Wednesday, September 13, to Make a Thorough Investigation The following statement was given out yesterday evening from the execu- -4 tive office: "At a called meeting of the council of state today in the governor's office it was agreed to ask Dr. James Mc-Kee, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, to call a meeting of the board of directors of the State Hospital. Dr. McKee said he was perfectly willing to do so and would notify them at once to meet next Wednesday, September 13th, to make a thorough investigation." Veterans on October 19 Hon. H.

A. London of PJJtsboro, who is adjutant general of the North Carolina division of the United Confederate Veterans, was in the city yesterday and was asked by a reported of The Morning Post" what part the veterans would take in the program on the' occasion of President Roosevelt's visit to Raleigh. To this inquiry Major London answered it would be determined by the veterans themselves at their meeting at Raleigh the night before the president's arrival, the call for which meeting was published a few days ago. He also said that he and General Carr, who Commands the North Carolina division of U. C.

were both personally heartily in favor of the veterans paying every proper mark of respect to the president during his visit here and that no allusion was made to this in the recent order for the meeting, because they did not wish it to appear that the veterans were ordered to do but that they voluntarily and of their own accord could determine what they would do in the matter of expressing their appreciation of the president's visit to our "state.

J. C. L. Harriss, attorney for the woman, moved to quash the indictment on the grounds that the warrant was not legal. In an extended argument he contended that it was not sufficient for the warrant to be sworn cut by the chief of police on simply information and belief." This he claimed, article four of the United states constitution.

Ponton, field superintendent of the John C. Martin educational fund for the supplemental training of negro preachers on the field and the thorough education of theological students in schools, reached Raleigh yesterday morning.

Mr. John C. Martin is a layman of the Fifth Avenue church. New York city. He early conceived the Idea that the greatest need of the negroes was not more preachers, but better preachers, to hpld up before them better and higher ethical ideals.

Ha is a -Christian patriot and philanthropist who desires to do what he can to relieve his country of a most distressing and aggravating problem. To this end Mr. Martin inaugurated this movement, represented by Dean Ponton, known as the John C. Martin educational fund, and incorporated It In the city of New York under the laws of the state of New York. Mr.

Martin not only uses his own money in carrying on his work among preachers, but through his movement others who wish to assist in' the uplift of the negro people through their preachers are invited and encourage to co-operate with Mr. Martin in this great work. There are organized and are now maintained under this fund 120 local Institutes, 12 divinity schools in colleges, 12 professorships, 2 field men and between four and five thousand preachers and students helped. The work now being done is carried on in the states of Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia and outh Carolina. Dean Ponton, who is touring North Carolina, is a native of the state and was born in Halifax county.

He left Halifax more than thirty years ago. "I have traveled through all the Southern and Northern States, but for some reason the North Carolina negro is the most progressive and wideawake I have found anywhere. The negroes in Charlotte, Salisbury, Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh are doing much to solve the race question. They seem -to be honest, thrifty and energetic. I find a great improvement in the home life of the people and a friendly relation existing between "the two races, such as I have found nowhere else." The John C.

Martin educational fund, through its representatives, appeals to the best people of both races to cor operate with them, in raising for the negro a higher standard of life and inspiring the negro ministers the true leaders of the negro race, to hold before their race higher ethical ideals. The great end of this movement is to popularize the Bible and to make Bible morals and Bible spirituality familiar to negro preachers, so that they may lead their people and teach them to be-good, citizens as well as to be good Christians. A large number of preachers rnet Dean Ponton at 3 o'clock in the colored Presbyterian church and organized a local Bible institute for Raleigh i and vicinity. I After the state has been organized i work will begin in the negro schools in the state. The work is carried on through local institutes, state Bible conferences, summer and di- jvinity schools in colleges.

Dean Ponton leaves this morning for Klttrell College, thence to Weldon, his? birthplace. Bank at Chapel Hill A bank was chartered for Chapel Hill in the secretary of state's office yesterday.
