TEXAS PASTOR KILLS
WEALTHY LUMBERMAN
IN CHURCH OFFICE
D. E. CHIPPS. SHOT TWICE BY J.
* FRANK NORRIS OF FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH
« ROW BEGAN OVER CITY AFFAIRS
Minister Attacks Mayor’s Reputed
Personal Interest in Street
Improvements
FORTWORTH. Texas, July 19. {JP)
—J. Frank Morris, a nationally known
fundamentalist for 15 years, is charg
* ed with murdering D. E. Chipps,
wealthy lumberman in the office of
the First Baptist church.
Norris claimed self defense. He has
been released under a S10.000 bond,
largely furnished by members of the
congregation. Chipps died in the am
bulance after he had been shot twice,
it Norris said “I had to do it- He
threatened my life.”
H. C. Meaeham. the mayor, wno
had been attacked in sermons was the
subject of the dispute which led to
the killing. Chipps visited the may
or’s office for more than an hour be
fore his death and gave no intention
of his intended call on the revivalist.
Meaeham said L. H. Nutt, bank audi
tor and member of the congregation,
was the only witness. He sustained
Norris’s story. The pastor said he
would preach his regular sermons on
Sunday. Norris preached a series of
sermons and published articles in the
Searchlight, a church organ, attacking
* Meacham’s connection with street ex
tension declaring it was made to pro
vide a more direct access to Meach
am’s department store. After the de
nouncement the store manage-ment or
dered no employee could belong to
Norris’s church but they might go to
t another Baptist church. According
lo the Searchlight two employees
quit the church. Four left the store
when Chipps objected to the story.
Norris said he showed him the door
but Chipps came back threatening
the pastor’s life. Norris obtained the
night watchman’s pistol from a draw
er and shot Chipps, according to his
statement to the district attorney.
Chipps was unarmed, said a city de
tective after the investigation.
FORT WORTH, July 19. (#)—Rev.
Norris preached a sermon “there is
no condemnation to them that are in
Jesus Christ.” Standing 50 feet from
the murder spot he told one of his
largest audiences that his faith is
stronger than ever. Six thousand
people filled the church to its’ doors
When Norris finished several hundred
grasped the preacher’s hand as he
stood before them on the platforn
and many embraced him. Norris ap
peared on the verge of tears anc
seemed unable to speak. While Nor
ris preached, Chipp’s friends prepared
for the latter’s funeral. After the
communion Norris said “This day be
gins a new day.”
