BOY, ACCUSED IN.
DEATH, WINS
POINT
Raymond Norris, of Little Or
leans, Found Not Guilty
Of Stealing.

CUMBERLAND, Md. Nov. "a
The jury in the case of RAYMOND
Norris. the youth charged with the
theft OF $3.50 from his father, the
late George w. Norris. farmer. OF
Little Orleans. this county, for
whose murder the son also stands
indicted. brought in a verdict or
not guilty late yesterday afternoon
on the stealing charge. As the
State held the theory that the boy
slew his father because he was
fearful the parent might discover
the theft, the verdict In this case
may have much bearing on the
more serious charge.
The State banked much on the
alleged sworn confession secured
from the boy that he committed
the robbery, after Charles l.. Veitsch
and G.. p. Phillips, detectives Of
Baltimore. employed by the county
authorities, worked up the case
against Norris. The confession was
made In the presence of States
Attorney Barnard and others. 1t
was shown.
Norris. who testified in his own
behalf. told of being brought to
Cumberland and questioned in the
States Attorneys office. He said
he did not hear them warn him
that anything he might say could
be used against him at the trial.
He admitted he signed the confess
sion. Norris bought an automobile
right after the theft was committed,
but he declared he got the money
by working and saving. He made
the same answer as to the question
Of the bank deposit.
Detectives Vietsch and Phillips
testified as their questioning Norris,
their getting him to come to Cum.
berland and his admission to them
of having taken the money. They
denied that any promises. threats
or intimidation were used. Vietsch
had considerable sarcastic exchange
with the attorneys for the de-
tense on cross-examination.
The body of Norris father, who
was assassinated as he was enter
ing the lane to his home. was found
the next morning after his riderless
horse had returned to the stable.
Norris was a frugal farmer, regard
ed as hardfisted, and 1t has been
the theory of the State that the
boy, fearful of the consequences IL
the father discovered the theft Of
the money, slew him. The evidence
Is said to be entirely circumstantial.
The boy denies the charge. -....,.

 It is difficult to believe that such intelligent writers as the editorial writers of the New Republic could in nocently give currency to such gross transformation. .

 Let us reiterate, for it's true, and must necessarily be iterated and reit- erated until the truth of the matter is universally recognized and the evil remedied, that according to the high est authority in the land, the Inter state Commerce Commission, the clear net profits of the railroads of the United States during the four years beginning January Il 1916, and ending December 3I, 1919, was NOT LESS THAN $5,682, 2,844,37o, every dollar of which was absorbed by the owners of the capital invested, name 1y, those who owned the stocks and the bonds.

 About 125 millions appear Also to have been paid out the same year for "depreciation" of property.
