The authorities had no idea that Nor¬ ton was within 3,000 miles of Savannah. -Indeed, it wits generally believed that lie was in Australia. Just one week ago, tlie' grand jury ol Effingham county found two indict¬ ments for murder against Robert G. Norton, Jr. Tlie evidence was that the two Birds, who were nephews of Col.

Nor¬ ton refused to trade imek. Hearing tlie and discussion, Norton’s wife came out. She a colored boy were the only witnesses to tlie tragedy tliat followed. Norton says lie is not guilty of any crime. That is the only statement lit makes.

He was in California, perfectly safe from arrest, and came back of Iiis own free¬ will and accord as soon as lie heard tliat the indictments had been found.
