(Aesoclited Pme Leaied Wire.)
AUSTIN, -Texas, Jan. 21 J.,
Frank Norrfs, noted fundamental
ist pastor of Fort "Worth, on the
witness stand here today, told his
story of how he killed E. Chipps,
wealthy lumberman, in his church
office last July 17.
Weeping and halting over each
word, he related how Chipps had
gone to his office, had demanded
that he cease attacks on Chipps'
friends, had threatened to kill him,
and of how. he shot Chipps when
he said the latter came at him
with his hand on his hip pocket.
Before giving this part of the
story he had heard himself bitter
ly lambasted and warmly defend
ed by attorneys In arguments over
the admission of certain evidence.
He sat silently in the witness box
for more than an hour listening -to
these arguments in which much of
his past was raked over. ' .
The jury was discharged while

the school will have the record of
having won this title without the
loss of a game. The local team
will -met the Medford squad to
night at the junior nign acnooi
gymnasium. Roseburg recently de
feated Medford 12 to 8 on the Med
ford floor, but tonight will go up
against a much stronger team than
they faced at that - time. When
Roseburg played at Medford that
team had been practicing only A.

stride. , They are now golug good
and are out tonight to prevent
Roseburg from taking the cham
pionship, If possible. Roseburg on
the other hand will put forth a
desperate effort to win, for much
hinges on a victory.
Those who have seen the junior
high school boys in action freely
admit that It is one of the fastest
cleverest teams Rnneburg has ever
turned out. Although the boys are
small In size and weight, yet they
make an excellent showing, and
look good even against' superior
weight.
: Because of the fine showing that
the junior high team has been mak
ing, a big crowd is expected at to
night's game, which will undoubt
edly be well worth watching.

newspaper says. . ,
When the bank opened, the story
goes, representatives of Mr. Chap
lin were waiting, and immediately
presented for payment a personal
check of the comedian for $500,
000. It was paid without question.
The American says that a repre

bureau indicated later in the day
that some action might be taken
against the bank on ground that
the officials knew of the impend
ing Hen., The bank denied, how
ever, that it had been Informed of
the--pnnnsed -llen-aiia satd-'-evenr
though It had known,: It would
have been compelled to honor the
comedian's check. .'
Thfl Hens are based upon alleged
