EUGENE NORRIS ACQUITTED.
Jury Decides He Was Justified in
Carrying q Gun.

The case of Eugene Norris, who wa:
arrested on May 4 for carrying a con.
cealed weapon, was tried before Justice
L. W. Cromer and a jury ON Tuesday.
The defendant was represented by At.
torney Otto T. Williams of Elko and
District Attorney Rogers conducted the
prosecution. The trial lasted through
the day. and the rumors on the street
that sensational testimony would be
given In defense of the prisoner
crowded the court room at both the
morning and afternoon sessions.
The following comprised the jury:
Baker Gray. William Stewart, w. A.
Gavin. Clay Simms Jr., Thomas Ros.
SELF, j. B. Bale, w. H. Russell, Matt
Hoey. Charles Bremenkampf. Merrill
Fletcher. William Blair. Sam Raphel.
The defendant in his testimony ac-
knowledged having a pistol on his per-
son when arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Art Johnson and to having given the
same up to him. He pleaded that he
was justified in carrying the weapon
because Mr.. DesMarias had insulted his
wife and he anticipated trouble with
him.
Mrs. Norris was put on the stand and
corroborated her husbands testimony.
Deputy johnson testified to the facts
OF the arrest, and after the attorneys
submitted their arguments the case was
given to the jury. After a short de-
Liberation a verdict of acquittal was
agreed upon and reported and the de-
PENDANT was discharged.
1t is understood the jury took three
ballots before reaching an agreement.
In the first there were s for acquittal,
in the second 8, and in the third
the jury was unanimous.
Under a law passed by the Legisla-
allure of 1908 the carrying of concealed
weapons is a misdemeanor punishable
by a fine Of not less than $40 nor more
than $500. and imprisonment in the
county Jail for not less than 80 days nor
more han six months. 1t will be seen
that the punishment for the violation
Of this law is severe, being both fine
and imprisonment. A bill to repeal it
was passed by both branches Of the last
Legislature, but was vetoed by Gov.
ernor Sparks.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

EDITOR SENTINEL wish to inform
the citizens of Eureka County that the
testimony given against me in the case
of Eugene Norris is false and without
foundation-a conspiracy to force un.
sought for trouble and disgraceful no.
toriety on one who attends to his own
business.
l came to Eureka on business, and not
for trouble. But l wish to impress it
on the minds of those interested and
those who have made themselves con.
spicuous aud a~ntagonistic in this af-
fair that under no circumstances will
l take the worst of it.
Had l been called upon as a witness
to testify in this case l would have done
so willingly, but / was not given the
opportunity to vindicate myself of this
humiliation. Therefore, l wish every
one in this community to understand
the truth of the case and my dealings
with the defendant. | am not soliciting,
or have not solicited the acquaintance
Of any woman, and / certainly know
my place.
/ repeat that this attack upon me is
cowardly and malicious and entirely
without foundation.

let it be understood that we now mean
that this Government, created by, of,

by them and not by the corporations.
and these corporations, now becoming
hurtful powers must go under Govern.
ment control.
'In doing this we violate no laws Of
justice. Other civilized countries so
cousrol them. so far as I Knowing.
land, perhaps excepted. Corporations
are not so popular in England as with
us, and nothing like so general. They
have not there touched the public
utilities as they have here. When they
do they will be controlled as they are
in Germany, France and in fact all
European countries.
What we ask is simply that nj
American Government be kept to its
original calling, and, in the language
of the fathers, that Society be pro-
tected, all v~iolators of positive law
punished. and that liberty and the
rights of man remain the aim and OBJ
ject of the American Government our
fathers builded.'"
