POLICE SKEPTICAL OVER MICKLE MURDER STORY ' Pasadena Chiet Believes Norton Seeks to Come East and Evade Robbery Trial. Inspector Grant, chiet of detectives, far from being convinced that James C. .No Pasadena, Call glary, is the 34 Mickle, cigar dealer, who was slain in his store the night of November 16, 1911, although the prisoner confessed the crime. e A letter from Chief of Police C. Kelly of the Pasadena force received by Inspector Grant yesterday con- tained responses to several guestions the inspector requested the Pasadena chief to ask the prisoner. After re- citing the prisoner's answers to th questions, Chief Kelly wrote: “My opinion is that Norton was re- siding in that vicinity at the time and read of the murder of Mickle in & newspaper and is now conrenlns to it to be taken east to avoid standing trial here on burglary and highway robbery charges. If you can send us any additional information or want additional investigation made we will Eiye it our prompt attention, as the quarantine has now been lifted from the county jail.” Norton told the Pasadena chief that he resided in Petworth at. the time the murder was committed, but was unable to recall the name of the street_or number of the house. He resided there four years, he stated, and said he had a brother residing in this city. The brother was located by the local police and is said to have stated that his brother, the prisoner, left here about the time the murder was committed. He never suspected, however, that his brother had any connection with the murder. PROTEST GREEN PIG AS SHOW WINDOW NOVELTY |, fireland’s Sympethizers Object to Shop: Display of So-Called !
