GUILTY OF ASSAULT.
Edward NOrrell, Who Shot a COmpan-
ion. Sentenced To-day.

Edward NOrre11. Who Shot a COmpan-
ion. Sentenced To-day.
On Saturday morning, the 18th of last
September. Edward Norrell, alias Edward
Norris. a colored boy about seventeen years
old. invited another colored boy, James
Jackson. aged fourteen. to go bird hunting
with him. Jackson accepted the invita-
ton, and they started for the neighborhood
of 18th and c streets northwest. Norrell
had a small rife with him and on the way
amused himself by firing it at some boys.
He then turned 1t upon his companion,
firing at him several times. the last shot
striking Jackson in the corner of the left
eye and lodging at the base of the brain,
where, in the opinion of the attending ply
stefan, it will remain until death.
Yesterday afternoon NorrelPs trial was
begun before Judge Cole in Criminal Court
No. upon the charge of assault with in
tent to kill. The Jackson boy testified that
Norrell asked him If he would give him
leave to fire at him, and when he replied
No. isn't ready to die yet" Norrell re-
or no leave"
Another witness testified that he heard
one of the shots, saw jackson running
away, bleeding, and heard him crying My
had shot Jackson Norrell replied: You
can't do anything with me, mister. He
Civ me leave to shoot him, an / did it -
Then he ran away and was given up two
weeks later by Patrol Driver Shields of the
third precinct, who, it was testified, had
known all that time Of Norrelrs hiding
place, and who, it was also testified, only
surrendered him after being threatened
with being reported to the police depart
ment in not doing so. Shields, ii was stat
ed, was discharged a short time later for
his connection with the matter.
Norrell was placed on the stand and his
counsel left his examination to the court,
contending that the boy was of unsound
mind. Judge Cole subjected him to a
lengthy examination and while Norrell ap-
peared stupid and Indifferent answered the
judges inquiries in an intelligent manner
This morning two former employers of
Norrell testified that while he was not par
ticIilarly bright he performed his duties In
diligently.
The jury took but a very few minutes
to decide that Norren was guilty only of
assault. In giving the boy the full penalty
for assault. II months and % days in tail
given him all the mercy he deserved Had
the matter said the court, been. left to his
determination he would have had no hest
fancy in finding the boy guilty Of assault
with intent to kill. for. in the courts opin-
lon. he possessed intelligence enough to
make him aware that he was doing wrong.
This sentiment which seeks to excuse
such persons" concluded Judge Cole "is
not only wrong, but 1t Is also dangerous to
the community, and had this defendant
been found guilty as indicted I would have
felt no reluctance in sending him to the
penitentiary."

DOCTORS INDICATED.
Charges Brought Against Members of
the Medical Association Investigated.

the Medical Association Investigated.
There was a largely attended meeting of
the Medical Association last evening and
the principal business was the hearing of
the report of the standing committee. AS
has been stated IN The Star charges had
been brought against several members of
the association relative to alleged viola
lions of the ethics of the profession, and in
accordance with the rules the charges were
referred to the standing committee for in
vestigation. The report of the committee
was complete, showing that they had
thoroughly sifted the charges and the as
ISOLATION Endorsed theE work by the unan-
imous adoption of the report. In the case
of two doctors charged with practicng
homeopathy the committee learned that one
of the doctors had gone into other business
and that fact itself placed him outside of
the association. While in the other case
the accused doctor claimed that he had
sent in his resignation as a member Of the
association some time ago and supposed
that 1t had been received. In this case the
committee simply reported in favor Of
granting his request and dropping his name
from the rolls.
The charge preferred against DR.. Hyatt.
alleging unprofessional advertisement Of
himself was thoroughly disapproved and
the committee so reported. AS to the charge
that DR.. Hammond was making money
from patented medicine of his own inven-
tion the committee, after hearing the evil
dence on both sides, found that the charge
was not sustained. The adoption of the re-
port by the association disposed of all the
cases that have been brought to the atten-
ton OF the association and of the committee.
1t Is said that the matter will not end
here. The charges were not only un-
founded, 1t is asserted, but publicity was
at once given to the matter. 1t is stated
that the proceedings were irregular from

this case 1t is said that the charges were
originally made at a meeting of the asso-
cation by the president. DIR. l.. Elliot, who
left the chair for this purpose. 1t is
further stated that, contrary to the rules
ana on the very next day, the charges were
maze public in the newspapers, before an
opportunity was had to have any investf-

very likely that charges will be brought
against the president, and that another in

The success of The Evening Star, which has

the untruthfulness of the old saying. The
