wiser. was present. He stated i'm an
swer to questions of the Board that

opposite 10 that presented for the de-
ifendant during his trial.
ATTORNEY GENERAL SPEAKS.
Mr. Richards said that the evidence
lduring the trial showed that Thorn was
lemployed by the New York, Philadel-
phia and Norfalk Railroad on belt line
work around Norfolk in December
l1S97. whereas it is now declared that
he was employed by the Southern
Railway. The Attorney General said

lsidering the probability of Thorn hav'
ling gone to Norfolk Immediately aftei
