NORRIS PREAGHES SERMON ON MURDER Kluxer Leads Congregation in Series of “Amens” Fort ‘Worth, Tex., Aug. Preaching a sermon of the most scathing invective against what he avowed had been a conspiracy against him, the Rev. J. Frank Norrls yesterday morning for the first time since he killed D. E. Chipps on July“17, made direct reference from the pulpit to the events causing the tragedy. Seventy-four conversions were made as the pastor of the First Baptist church stormed against his enemies and then wept his joy in the faith of his congregation. The congregation wept and the profes- sion of faith was as great as on the Sunday morning after the killing, when Mr. Norris stood in his pul- pit and preached from the text that ~“there is therefore no con- dempation in them that are in Christ Jesus.” “How God gave answer to a con- spiracy” was the text yesterday. Opening the services with an inti- mate chat to his audience, which laughed often at his sallies, Mr. Norrls continued in a scriptural vein on a text from the account in the third chapter of Daniel of how the three faithful were delivered from the conspiracy to slay them in a flery furnace. Swings Into Crime Reference He preached on until any casual- ly curious person, who might have been drawn into the auditorium by the hint given in the advertised subject,- probably thought that Mr. Norris had decided to preach a strictly inspirational sermon. Finally, however, after drawing a lesson from his text, Mr. Norris sald: “Tirmes have changed. We've had some of the same intimations and I want to let the world know that three weeks ago—now a little more than three weeks ago—a gentleman whose. name and address we know, blustered into my study and told me to retract certain things I had said on Roman Catholicism, “I talked quietly to him and J. M. Gilliam stood nearby and will attest the truth of ay to you now. This man declared that 2 he was a fourth degree member of | the Knights of Columbus.” Mr. Norris, at this juncture called Gilllam to his side near the pulpit and dsked him to say whether or not the truth had been spoken. Applause and Amens “It was just v to silence you and we're going to do it.,” The big church auditorium rang with hand clapping and reverberat- &d with amens as Mr. Norris shout- ed his declaration that he had not a word to take back and that he would continue to predch the samc doctrines Lloyd P. Bloodworth, Grand Drag: on of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas satin the front row and spoke fer- vent amens at several points of the sernion. It was he who week before Jast assured Mr. Norris that the Kian is fully in his support.
