Norris Gives Version.

| When they did come together. John
| son already had told his story of tn,
! killing. Norris had steadfastly protest
ed his innocence, but when he learned
| that his companion had placed the ell
| tire responsibility of Lee Ong's dealt
upon his shoulders, he changed from
and told his version of the affair.
Norris was much more visibIy af.
! fccted than was his companion. The
latter had told all about the killing
rot saying word that he though,
| would make him liable to answer a
charge OF homicide. and he appeared tC
| think all he would have TO do would
be to repeat his story and be liber-
ated.
II didn't do anything" he protested
Il went with Norris and saw him strike
the Chinaman, but all | did was to try
To get away.
He told of having accepted $3.50 OF
| the money his. companion took from
the cash drawer in the little laundry,
but that was merely a gratuity, he
thought. and he could not understand
how 1T could involve him In the crime
The fact that he escaped from the laun
dry by climbing the back fence and
wading through the snow. he reasoned
was not a factor in the murder mys-
terry. That all happened after the
crime had been committed.
JOhnSOns reasoning was far different
from that of the police. The latter
held that even though his story of the
killing be true. his presence in the
laundry, his subsequent acceptance of
the money and his flight without later
disclosing the crime to the police was
enough to make him an accessory.
Billiard Cue His Weapon.
Inspector Boardman and the detectives
We're completely surprised at Norris adj
| mission that he carried the billiard cue
with him that night for the purpose OF
striking a Chinaman with it.
The principal in the homicide related
his story Of how he and johnson started
out the night of February IL for the
purpose of robbing Cinnamon. He said
| he found billiard cue i'll the rear of a
| pool room at 18th and NJ streets north
| west and carried it with him, using ii
| in the attack On Lee Ong and subsequent
~ destroying it in the stove when he re-
turned home
Going along several streets. chief
ly Z street west of 18th Norris says
| he and his companion stopped in front OF
| a number of Chinese laundries, but al
| each place customers inside or pedes-
| TRANS outside made it impossible for them
| to operate.
Finally, he related the story of their
| roamings about Mount Pleasant. They
| passed Lee Ong's laundry returned
| looked through the window and entered
the story of the prisoners in this particu-
| lar being the same as that related by a
! neighbor of the Chinaman the night he
| was assaulted.
Norris and Johnson agree that they
| looked through the window before they
| entered and that the Chinaman was deal,
a blow when he reached to take the gray
sweater from Norris. Their stories diff
fer as to who dealt the blows which
| proved fatal. Johnson denying that he
struck Lee Ong, while his companion de-
clares both struck him.

 In a report to the legislature today the commissioner admits his inability to locate this prop erty for the purpose of taxation, and says that in his opinion one out of every fOrty-fOur persons in Massachusetts leases a safe deposit box to which the holder alone has access.
 He recommends the enactment of a state income tax law and leg islation to reach untaxed wealth.
