Defense Wins Reversal Allowing Key Testimony in Barbee Case
In Durham the Barbee murder trial resumed with the court reversing Saturday rulings and allowing defense witnesses to testify about Cole threats and character. The day featured lengthy testimony from witnesses near Orange and Durham counties detailing threats and past disputes before a recess and continued evidence from both sides. A related Haw River fatality report notes Miss Bessie Cheek, 12, was struck by an eastbound extra freight near Haw River while en route to a cotton mill job, marking a tragic early morning accident.
