18 ABSENT WITNESSES DELAY NORRIS TRIAL State Closes With Testimony of Another Accidental Vis- itor at Time of Killing. January The Norris murder trial was de today as the court waited the | arfival of two defense witnesses from Fort Worth, Tex 1 A recess was taken just before noon | til 4 p.m., but when the hour of redonvening arrived the iwitnesses| had not appeared and the court ad journed until 9 a.m. Monday The State closed its case with two Miss Melba Builock, a 19 year-old school teacher of Birdwell, Tex., near Fort Worth, and C. D. Rodgers of Fort Worth Another Accidental Visitor. Miss Bullock was another accidental visitor 10 the Norris office, who ar rived just about the time Dexter E Chipps was killed in Dr. J. Frank Norris' offic the First Baptist Church in Fort Worth. She told of the calm and apparently unperturbed actions of the defendant immediately after the killing. She had gone to the church to obtain a sheet of music and arrived just a moment after the shooting. She saw Norris standing in the anteroom, and when she told him her mission he directed his secretary to obtain the music for her, she testi fied. At the moment Chipps was Iy ing dead in the private office. Rodgers testified he had been told by H. H. Rains that Norris had re marked e killed me a man.” Rains previously testified that Norris had made this remark just as he emerged from his office after shooting Chipps. Object to ITmpeach Witnesses. The defense offered several it nesses in surrebuttal, and the State| then announced that it closed. The object of the testimony expected from the two absent witnesses was to fm- peach certain State witnesses, de- fense attorneys said. Following the examination of Norris_vesterday, the case descended from its climax to one of apparent little interest, judging by the dwin- dling of ihe crowd today. DISTRICT MARKET BILL HEARING ON TUESDAY Sepate Subcommittee to Pass on Measure Authorizing $600,000. Passed House. or witnesses A subcommittee of the Senate Dis- trict committee will hold a hearing at 8 o'clock Tuesday afternoon on the bill which has passed the House, au- thorizing an appropriation of $600,000 for the purchase of a site for a new farmers’ market. The pending bill does not specify in which section of the city the farm- ers’ market should be located and, while various groups have heen ad- vocating several different localities, Senator Capper indicated yesterday |office that he did not believe the committee could mettle that question. The chairmen of the committee said pro- vision should be made for a new market stand for the farmers from the surrounding country in view of the fact that the existing one he- tween Tenth and Twelth, B and Lit- tle B streets must be vacated to make way for the new Internal Revenue Bullding. BT VL et DELAY RADIO PARLEY. Need More Time to Distribute Book of Proposals. The Washington international radio telegraph conference, scheduled for this Spring, has been postponed until Fall and probably will open about October 1.

The book of proposals contains not only suggestions of the various gov- ernments but also proposals made by interested radio telegraph companies in connection with the effort to unify and harmonize by international agree ment the rules and procedure for radio communications. —e Asheville, Hendersonville, Tryon.
