What NORRIS slayer Told tho Mig Detec-
tive Of the fragile Anair.


Detective Sheets when seen related
substantially the same story as that
told by Onicer Chase. lie said he WAS
on the corner by the Kenyon when he
heard the shooting and he promptly ran
TO the scene, when he found that Ed
dington ana Chase had already reached
the room whore Morris was breathing
his last. The room bore evidences OF u
struggle. \ chair was overturned and
tho table had been pushed out OF place
over against the wall. Benhrook was
standing passiycly ON one side aud vol
untecred no statement beyond that IL
was not his pistol that had been used.
Detective Sheets said that Bcnbrook
told him that Morris came into the
room whore he was dining and started
calling him all kinds OF nance. He
then rose, and not wishing FOR any
trouble left the room and entered an
adjoining one, at the same time telling
the walter TO call for a policeman to
put the man out. Sheets stated that "
he remembered rightly Benbrook
told him he locked the door and Morris
subsequently kicked In the same; but
an examination Of the premises fails to
prove that assertion. Then the big de-
tcctive proceeded 10 unburdon himself
