Jury Saya Nat GttUty in Trial For
3 Killing of Lumberman
? .?- I
f> Austin, Texas, Jan. 25.?Dr. J.
Frank Norris, fundamentalist Baptist
pastor of Fort Worth, tonight stepped
fjorn the third court room u free man.
lie whs acquitted by a jury in
Travis county district court for murdering
Dexter E. Chipps, lumberman
of Fort Worth, whom he killed in hist
church office the afternoon of Ium
July 17.
A jury composed of farmers, labor-.
,ir*K ?nen, a former sheriff, clerks amP
merchants, said that Norris shot
Chipps to aave h?a own life when the
latter came to the pustor's private
study to protest against attacks Norris
hud made on Mayor II. ('..Meui-ham
of Port Worth and other friends
of Chipps'.
There were tears of joy and also
tears of unother kind from other
eyes when the simple verdict of "not
guilty" wus read in loud tones hifi.
A- Pilquist, court clerk.
The tears of joy were those of
Norris and his wife. As soon as the
verdict rang out, Norris stood at his
seat. There was a wan smile on his
lips, hut he showed no emotion until
his attorney, Marvin Simpson, shook
his hand. He embraced Simpson and
wept.
The other tears were in the eyes
of a small, brown-eyed boy, who lias
sat throughout the trial on the side
of the state. He is Dexter E. Chipps,
whose father Norris killed. The boy,
small for his age, is 14. When asked
&bout the verdict, tears came to h's
eyes and he choked up. Later he
said: "I'm so sorry for mother. It
,wlll hurt her."
The boy was alone present of all
his family, and as the great "crowd
pressed around to shake the freed
man's hand, the lad walked slowly
out, virtually unnoticed.
The verdict came after 14 days of
argument and testimony, which was
ended with a heated appeal by William
H. McLean of Fort Worth, one
of the special prosecutors, who said,
as he pointed his finger at the jury:
"If you send him out to kill again,
he's your criminal, not mine."
"I call him the pistol-packing parson,"
shouted McLane, and these
words were ringing in the defendant's
ears as the jury filed out.
Accident Fatal Nto Young Lady
Clinton, Jan. 16.?That Miss Ruth
Ginn, 16, of this place, came to her
death as the result of an accidental
automobile wreck, the car being
driven by Hugh Robinson, of Whitmire,
was the verdict of a coroner's
inquest here this afternoon into the
young woman's death shortly after
the accident, which occurred on the
Calhoun highway about 10 o'clock
Saturday night. Miss Ginn, Mr. RobiTiBon,
about 23, and two negroes were
riding a small truck, it was reported.
Becoming uhmanageable, the machine
turned over three times, according to
statements, Mr. Robinson and one of
the negroes were also injured, but
it was thought not gravely.
Kershaw Man in Wreck
E. C. Culvern, 46, of Kershaw,
S. C., yesterday-, escaped fatal injury
when he drove an automobile head-on
into an Elizabeth street car at Elizabeth"
avenue and Cecil street. ' *
He was taken to the Presbyterian
hospital in an unconscious condition.
His injuries were later found to be
only slight. Hospital attendants said
he will probably be dismissed today.
Curious crowds gathered immediately
after the accident and watched
morbidly while he was being removed
to a .tvaiting car which was to carry
him to the hospital. During the remainder
of the evening many stopped
to look at the wrecked automobile.
? The street car motorman, H. N.
Jimfson, had brought his car almost
to a complete -stop for the street intersection
when the automobile crashed
into the front of the trolley. No
reason could be ascribed (or the crash.

crashing into it amidships and drag- >
gmg and tossing bodies of the dead
down the tracks.

in a complete circle.
Severul eye-witnesses said that the
driver apparently seeing the train
just before the bus reached the track
jammed on his brakes and attempt*J
t? i un parallel with the track, but
thai the bus skidded on the wet puvement
and swerved directly into the
train's path.
The train, the "Sunshine Special,"

Death Ends Tragic Career
Brussels, Jan. lth?The Belgian
court went into ten weeks' mourning:
today for Charlotte, widow of Maxmiliun,
once emperor of Mexico. She
died at 7 o'clock this morning in the
87th year of u life that had been
hardly more than a tragic haxe since
18C7. In that year Maxmilian was
executed at Querataro, Mexico, and
Empress Charlotte, who was in
Europe trying to gain aid for his un~
atablo empire, lost her reason, never
to recover it save in rare and fleeting
moments, one of which canro Jut
before her death from influents and
pneumonia.
