mistaken testimony by number Of
reputable Witnesses that they were
with L. J. Norris on the nig:1t of the
murder OF ]. B. Bissett between nine
and ten thirty O'Clock so that he
could not possibly have been out in
the woods east OF the city at that
time to fire the fatal shot at Bissett
has very much changed the status
of the trial of Norris, which has
been in progress for two days. and
will be concluded most probably to-
morrow. E. HI. Plummer a reputable
liveryman here, George Steele a To-
comotive engineer on the Seaboard
Air Line and couple of other wit
nesses have testified to Norris hav-
ing been on Fayetteville street and
in the soft drink stand of Rubert
Edwards. Their testimony, if unshak-
en- by the prosecution can but result
in a verdict of not guilty. The trial
is attracting very large crowds.
People in every part of North Car
olina are called upon by Governor
Kitchin and Commissioner James r.
Young, of the state department of
insurance, to observe October 7th
as Fire Prevention, Day to the end
that hues and equipment for heating
may be examined and at in order
for the winter, and rubbish cleared
| out with view to lessening as fal
as possible the possibility of fire
t The indications are that the day viii
be very generally observed as the
