Conviction of Boyle Probed Amid Strong Testimony
The Weekly Recorder discusses Boyle's conviction, praising the State's witnesses led by Miss Whitaker and Dr. Hines against a defense theory. It notes bruising evidence, jury composition from farmers and churchgoers, and predicts the death penalty for Boyle, with sympathy for North Carolina veterans alongside praise for soldiers of the South. It also notes support for a Soldiers' Home at Newbern and a Durham monthly, The North State Artisan.
