COURT HOLDS
 NORM UNDER
 HEAVY BONDS

After a hearing in the City Court yesterday afternoon, during which sensational testimony was offered by Detective George K. Johnson. of the Burns agency and Mary Wilson, the IT year old girl who was arrested in the big raid on April IT, George Norm, keeper of an alleged disorderly house at 372 State street, was bound over to the Superior Court under $3,G0O bonds. Statements made by the girl. who appeared to be greatly frightened while on the witness stand, brought out the fact that she was brought to Bridgeport six months ago by man named George Lewis, and that the police are now looking for this man.
 When the Norm case was called yesterday afternoon, George K. Johnson, of the Burns detective agency was summoned to the stand. Johnson is a man whom the New Workers kept under cover until yes terday, and is probably one of the persons who have been referred to as ''undisc1osed witnesses He has been a Burns employee for seven years.
 The detective stated that he came to Bridgeport about six weeks ago, anu HISL met NOTIn on the evening OI April 12, in a coffee house in Union Square. He asked the Bridgeportef about disorderly houses in this city and was told of three places. Norm then told him that he had a friend who was not in any of these houses, but that he. Norm, would make date for Johnson with the woman if he so desired. Johnson agreed and the following night the pair visited the coffee house at 372 State street where Johnson met the Wilson girl and later went to the woman's room.
 Mary Wilson was the next witness to be summoned, and the girl cast furtive glances about the crowded courtroom as she took the stand. She was asked by Attorney Frederick E. Morgan, who was defending Norm, when she first came to Bridgeport and replied that she was brought to this city six months ago by a man named George Lewis. The girl hesi- tated for some time before giving this answer.
 Upon further questioning the gir declared that she had been living with Lewis as man and wife, but he had never brought any men to hel for immoral purposes. She was most empahtic in making this statement, saying that Lewis was the only man
